The annual report of the Commissioners of the Jaques Fund and other funds of the City Hospital now rendered to the city is a conclusive proof of their fidelity and of the good manage- ment of their trusts.
Jaques Hospital Fund, Nov. 30, 1880, investment, $57,180 31

Total yielding income for support of the Hospital, $58,863 10

Curtis Fund for purchase of books and instruments, Nov. 30, 1880, investment, 1,081 08 Shaw Fund for support of patients, Nov. 30, 1880, investment, 143 83
The above statement shows that the City Hospital has con- tinued its active practical work at a materially smaller cost to the city treasury than ever before. This is owing to increasing income from the Jaques Fund, which by judicious sales of land by the commissioners, is now yielding a large support to the cost of maintaining the Hospital.
The service at the Hospital remains unchanged. Dr. J. Bart- lett Rich, as superintendent and admitting physician, continues to deserve and to receive the entire confidence and approval of the trustees in the discharge of his difficult and responsible duties. His assistants, the matron, Miss M. A. Hales, a male and female attendant, a night watch, a cook and assistant, a jan- itor and a laundress make up the working force of the Hospital.
The Medical Staff of the Hospital suffered a serious loss in the sudden death of Dr. Henry Clarke, and the following reso-
296
CITY DOCUMENT .- NO. 35.
lutions of respect appear on the Records of the Trustees at their meeting, May 1st :
Resolved: That in the afflicting dispensation of the death of our respected friend, Dr. Henry Clarke, a member of the Visiting Staff of this Hospital from the founda- tion, this charity has lost a strong supporter and a wise adviser.
Resolved: That the trustees sympathize deeply with the family and friends of Dr. Clarke and feel assured that his memory will long be cherished in this Hospital as one of the active promoters of its establishment.
Resolved: That a copy of these resolutions be entered upon the Records and sent by the secretary to the family of Dr. Clarke.
The vacancy upon the Staff occasioned by the death of Dr. Clarke was filled by the election of Dr. Charles A. Peabody, a for- mer superintendent and now engaged as assistant superintend- ent at the Massachusetts Hospital for Chronic Insane.
The young ladies representing the Flower Mission to the sick and neglected have remembered this institution during the summer months by a weekly donation of flowers and fruits which they have themselves distributed among the patients. It is easy to understand how much pleasure this simple kindness may afford to the weary sufferer, not only from the beauty of the flowers, but also as an evidence of human sympathy. These visits are mutually beneficial, teaching the young by con- tact with disease and poverty, that life has its sombre side and that many of what are to them real troubles, sink out of sight when contrasted with those which must be endured by the inmates of our hospitals.

Within the coming year the New Hospital will be completed and occupied, and it is necessary, in estimating the probable cost of maintaining and conducting the hospital during the ensuing year, to anticipate an outlay for the purchase of furni- ture, bedding, etc., required for the new quarters. The trustees,

THE NEW CITY HOSPITAL.
In his Inaugural Address on Jan. 5th, his Honor the Mayor used the following language: "The propriety of making immediate provision for large future wants by building at once on the lot at the corner of Queen and Prince streets, which Mr. Jaques gave for that purpose some time before his death, has been considered by a committee of the City Council during the past year, and their report will be brought to your notice among other matters of unfinished business. While it is obvious that larger accommodations are not immediately needed, and that the erection of a hospital building would involve a considerable expenditure, besides requiring a somewhat larger annual appro- priation for running expenses, it should also be borne in mind that we are now occupying the best part of the homestead estate, which will soon have a considerable market value, and that any sale of the Jaques land makes an addition to the fund whose income goes to support the hospital. Hitherto nothing, in my opinion, has been lost by waiting, and the fact that we have not yet built on the lot referred to can hardly be regarded as indicating any lack of respect for the memory of Mr. Jaques, who as we all know wished only to benefit the city. Mr. Jaques, who was a trustee of the hospital, was of course deeply inter- ested in the institution, and in connection with others was con- fident that we could not long remain in the Bigelow mansion, which, at the time the gift was made, we were occupying for hospital purposes. * I earnestly recommend that you consider at the earliest possible time the expediency of erecting, during the present year, an inexpensive hospital building of sufficient capacity to accommodate forty or fifty patients of the class for which this important public charity was designed."

CITY DOCUMENT .- NO. 35.
At a meeting of the trustees held April 3rd they were informed that the Committee on Public Buildings had prepared plans for the erection of a hospital upon land on the corner of Queen and Prince streets, given to the city by George Jaques, Esq., in 1872, for this special purpose, and the trustees were invited by the committee to meet them to consider the plans and to consult with the architects, Messrs. Fuller and Delano. The invitation was accepted, and the trustees at a sub- sequent special meeting held April 19th, passed the following vote : "The trustees approve the plans for the New Hospital Buildings as submitted by Messrs. Fuller and Delano."
On May 4th the trustees were again invited by the Committee on Public Buildings to meet them on the hospital lot, to be pres- ent and advise in regard to laying out the grounds and deter- mining the location of the buildings. There were present at this meeting members of the city committee, of the trustees, and of the visiting staff of the hospital, together with the architects. The position of the buildings and general grade of the land was then determined upon by vote. Work was at once com- menced, and has been prosecuted until the present time. The hospital consists of four buildings, a main building 53x50 feet containing offices, dispensary, operating room, and rooms for the resident physician and others in charge of the institution, a kitchen building 52x27₺ feet in the rear, with a long corridor running at right angles between the two, and connecting with two pavilions on either side, each 96x27 feet, extending back par- allel with the kitchen building. The pavilions, or wards, are designed to accommodate fifteen patients each, and are pro- vided with five private rooms in the second story for the treat- ment of special cases.
The main or administration building is two stories high, with a steep roof of irregular shape, and is surmounted by a tower eighty feet high. The two wards and the kitchen building are plastered, and the work of finishing them will be resumed when the heating apparatus is put in. Two large boilers from the Stewart Boiler Works have been delivered, and are now in the boiler room ready to be set, and a portion of the piping will
30I

doubtless be put in this winter, and the hospital can be finished for occupancy during the summer of 1881.
The materials used in the structure are brick laid in red mor- tar, with Longmeadow brown-stone for the basement, and Ohio
free-stone trimmings for the main building. The main entrance to the administration building is fifteen feet above the street, and is reached by a double flight of granite steps; these, with the brown-stone and free-stone trimmings, give the building an impressive appearance. The work is all done by contract by Messrs. Palmer and Vaughan, who have sub-let various parts of the work. The brick work is by Henry Mellen, the Long- meadow stone and Ohio free-stone is supplied by F. C. Mark- ham, the slating is by Thomas O'Gara, and the granite steps by A. G. Mann. The buildings are substantially built and admira- bly arranged for the work of a hospital.
A large amount of material has been removed from the lot to grade for the buildings, which has been used to raise the grade of Piedmont street through the low ground, and to fill the val- ley on the location of the new Hospital street, which is to pass through the site of the old Jaques mansion, now occupied by the hospital, and includes when finished, what is now known as Prince street. The new street will open a large number of excellent building lots on the Jaques estate, and give a direct and convenient route to the new location of the hospital from near the junction of Chandler and Wellington streets.
The report of the superintendent and resident physician, and a valuable tabulated statement of diseases, from the same source, are appended to and form a part of this report. The report of the commissioners of the Jaques Fund and other funds of the City Hospital, will be added to this document.
In behalf of, and by order of the trustees,

The high rate of mortality for the past year cannot properly be attributed to defective sanitary conditions, but mainly to the admission of an unusual number of incurable cases, both of accident and disease.
In admitting patients it is kept in view that the Hospital is in no sense to be considered a home for the unfortunate, but a place for the relief and cure of those suffering from disease and injury.
Most of those admitted are necessarily free patients, but there are some who are able and ought to pay, and as a rule are will- ing to do so.
The proportion of paying patients is about the same as that of other public hospitals.
Board is charged at the rate of $10 per week, which is about the cost for each patient. Some who cannot pay the full rate are charged various smaller amounts, according to circumstances. The average price paid the past year was $7.71.
Patients from other towns are charged full rates. Those not having a settlement in Worcester are charged to towns where they belong, and those having no settlement, to the State.

Much interest has been manifested by the clergy and others in their visitations to the sick. The " Flower Mission" has con- tinued its pleasing and welcome attentions. During a part of the year, some of the ladies and gentlemen connected with the Young Men's Christian Association have held a "Service of Song" in the wards on Sunday afternoons, which has been wel- come, and acceptable to the patients. Continued friendly interest in the Hospital by various very pleasing and friendly donations.
In the management of the hospital it has been my constant aim to secure as good results as possible as regards hygiene, service for the sick, and economy of expenditure. The employes have rendered faithful service.
I gratefully acknowledge the aid and counsel which I have continued to receive from the hospital staff. I desire, also, to express my thanks for the cordial and efficient co-operation, and continued confidence which I have had from the members of your Board.
