Exemption

A comprehensive brief on hos- pnalization costs in support of the request that both the Charlotte- town and Prince Edward island HtkplllllS and staff quarters be ex- empt. from taxation and for an ad- ditional grant on a per dicm basis was presented to the Mayor and metnoers of the finance committee of the City Council last; week.

The brief was prcscntcd by a joint committee of both hospitals and was read by Mr. L. B. Mac- Mlllan, M.B.E_ Other members of the committee were Mr. Justice George J. Tweedy Messrs. 1-1. F. McPhee. K.C., RS P, Jardlne and 11.1.. Sear.

The committee was courteously received and assured that the brief would be presented at a full City Council meeting and would be giv- en careful consideration.

Text 0f Brief

“The first attempt at hospitali- zation". the brief states, "was un- dertaken by what was then the Colony of Prince Edward lsland.to provide for the mentally ill. A building was constructed ivlthin the City limits, in the Brighton ares, and work was carried on there until i878 when Faiconwood was constructed. Full cost of cnn- struction and maintenance of this work was carried on by the Pro- vincial Government. and no charge was made to the City of Charlotte- town for any contribution thereto.

"The cost today of maintaining Fslconwood including the Pro- vincial Infirmary. exclusive of Cap- ital outlay. ar-nounts to a sum in excess of $250,000 per annum.

"Just prior to World War 1 the late Sir Charles Dalton. feeling the great need ‘of care for those suf- fering from tuberculosis. tinder-took. from his own private means, the erection of a TB. hospital.
