The Nurse having applied for an increase of salary and Dr Patterson having given her an excellent recommendation, it was proposed by Mr Sweeney, seconded by the Rev T Slevin and passed unanimously that Miss A Warden's salary be increased to £18 dating from Jan 1st 1904. The old attendant A J Morrow having failed in health the following resolution was proposed by Fr Slevin, seconded by J Sweeney and passed that A J Morrow be retained in the Hospital for the present as a free patient. Mrs Patterson having kindly organised a Jumble Sale which added considerably to the Hospital Funds it was proposed by Fr Slevin, seconded by Mr J Sweeney and passed "that the Governors tender their grateful thanks to Mrs Patterson for her kindness. A number of old and useless beds having accumulated owing to the introduction of modern ones, Mr Wallace proposed a resolution which was seconded by Mr Sweeney and passed, authorising Dr Patterson and the Hon secretary (Mr Mitchell) to dispose of the surplus beds to the best advantage."
