Victoria Hos Ital, presented at the twenty- nint annual meeting, Tuesday after- noon, showed that the number of pa- tients treated during the yeargwas 81 greater than in the previous twelve months, though the `average `stay was shorter, with ,a total of _8652 hospital days. The nancial state-. ment showed that the Board was about $400 aheadon the year's busi- ness. J. A. MacLaren presided. The 1925-26 Board was re-elected and subsequently the directors chose the same officers again .f * 4 - ' Report of Board . During the year there was a slight falling oil in the work of the hospital, the total number of hospital days be- ing 8652 as compared with 10,632, notwithstanding the fact that the number of patients treated increased from 563 to 644. ' Every year sees greater use being made of the obstet- `rical department, there being 110 ba- bies born in the hos ital this-year. The report of the me ical sta shows that awide range of operative work is being done in the hospital, which affords excellent facilities for sur- gical work. Larger use also i -being made of the X-Ray departmen , with increased revenue from that source.

All hospitals are finding` the nancial question the most difficult problem they have to contend with, and in many cases municipalities are being called. upon for much"big?;er grants. It has been the aim of_ the directors of the Royal Victoria Hospital` to pro- vide a highly efficient service at a minimum cost,'the result being: that the charges in `several respects are, below those in the average town hos- , pitaland much less than those of the f city hospital. In addition to the ben- ' efit in rates, it is a great advantage, i both from theystandpoint of conyen- ience and of economy, for the p'eo'ole of Barrie and district to havevtheir sick cared foryin a -hospital within reach.

HIGHWAY ADDITIONS T0 CONNECT wrru BARBIE I Hugh Grant, the local highway traffic_ officer, had .a narrow escape from death last Fritlay night when his,motorcycle was struck by a train at a railway crossing in North 0ri1- lia. Mr. Grant had got off the mo- torcycle before the crash. He was thrown thirty feet, -but escaped with slight bruises and cuts. The motor- .cycle~was carried over 400 feet by the train and was smashed to atoms. The accident occurred about _nine p.m. Mr. Grant was returning from Washago and as he approached the crossing, he slowed down to fix his spotlight which was not working. Hearing the train coming he stepped on the gas but instead of responding the motor stalled on the track and he had barely `time to get off before the cycle was`struck.' From the Saskatoon Star of Oc1'r20 lare taken the following "particulars l concerning the death of Lorne P. Twiss,` brother of W. .A. Twiss and Harry Twiss of Barrie, whose tragic end was noted in last week's Exam- iner. Mr. Twiss was killed at 2.15 in the morning of Oct. 20, when his- car crashed into a telephone pole. He was driving alone. It is thought that the slippery condition of the` road, which is narrow at the place where I the accident occurred, was an import- ant factor in causing the accident.
