February 21, 1872.—Ordered to lie on the table and be printed. Treasury Department, February 21, 1872. Sir: In compliance with a resolution of the Senate of the United States, I have the honor to transmit herewith the report of the super- vising surgeon of the United States marine hospital service, showing the operations of said service during the six months ending December 31, 1871, as compared with the corresponding six mouths of 1870. I am, very respectfully, GEO. S. BOUTWELL, v Secretary. Hon. Schuyler Colfax, Vice-President of the United States and President of the Senate. Division of United States Marine Hospital Service, Treasury Department, January 31, 1872. Sir : I have the honor to submit herewith a comparative statement of the operations of the United States marine hospital service for the six months ending December 31, 1871, and the six months ending De- cember 31, 1870, showing the number of days of hospital relief and the amount of expenditures incurred for the care and treatment of sick and disabled seamen ; also the amount of hospital tax collected during the same periods. The reduction of the expenditures during the six mouths ending December 31, 1871, over the six months ending December 31, 1870, amounts in the aggregate to over $10,000, which saves 17 per cent, to the fund. The amount of hospital tax collected during the last six months of 1871 is 10 per cent, greater than the amount collected during the cor- responding six months of 1870 under the operation of the same law. I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, JSO. M. WOODWORTH, Supervising Surgeon IT. S. Marine Hospital Service. The Hon. Secretary of the Treasury. 2 UNITED STATES MARINE HOSPITAL SERVICE.
