Atilk used amounted to 222.689 gallons, Iseing an average of 1.24 pints for each person daily. It was explained to the board by the managing-secretary that the total issue of fnilk consumed by each Hospital patient was three times ns great as that by the ordinary healthy member of the public, and ample was available. Some 200.000 gallons a day would be necessary to bring the consumption of outside . consumers tip to the Hospital standard. If that were done, it would probably have an influence on the Hospital figures.
