"The expenses of maintaining the hospital were $4400 in excess of the receipts the past year, and the trustees have been trying to find means of making up the deficiency. The recent gift of $50,000 from Hon E. S. Converse for a permanent endowment fund has lessened the anxiety of the trustees, as the interest from this fund will nearly make up the deficiency."
