For a hospital to operate in the depression year of 1933 without a deficit is considered untisual here, yet this record was chalked up by Beth Israel Hospital, marking the first year since the present $4,000,000 institution was opened that it escaped the redink, despite the fact that the number of patients increased from 8,940 in 1932 to 9,283.
The recovery was noted in the report of A. H. Puder, treasurer, at the institution’s annual meeting. During the past four years, operating expenses have decreased $221,000. Pay cuts and reduction of employes accounted in part for the saving.
Frank. I Liveright was re-elcted president of the hospital. Other officers chosen are Michael Hollander, A.H. Puder and Dr. I. J. Rachlin, vice-presidents; Abraham Lichtman, treasurer, and Arthur Lindeman, secretary. Trustees elected for three years include Samuel I. Kessler, Samuel Schmechner, Bermard Lewis, Philip J. Schotland, J. L. Schlesinger, Michael A. Stavitsky, Rabbi Julius Silberfeld and the treasurer and secretary.
