The President thanked Rev. Mr. Raymond for the use oi the Hall. Mr. Raymond replied suitably and moved a. vote of thanks to the staff cf the Hospital for their co-opera- tion and courtesy at all times. This was seconded by Rev. E. H. Ram- uy and carried.

Mr. S. A. McLeod in answer to enquiry by Rev. Mr. Raymond as to what was being done about the new hospital stated the new plans had arrived ‘Thursday morning, they had been gone over by the medical staff and found very sat- ‘ isiactory. The new building will ‘ cost only about half the original

proposal. However it will accom- modate only about 85 beds, there I will be no nurses home, and the j power plant must be located in the main building. The tenders will be l called for in a few weeks and the work gone ahead with. '

At this time we proposed build- ing a 100 to 110 bed hospital with Nurses Home and outside power plant, figuring that if collections came in as they had been doing up to that time that we would have aliogmller with the old fund about $400,000 and we planned on having the Government guarantee our

As it is absolutely necessary that; lllPSE buildings be rebuilt as early‘ as possible. it meant the strainingi 0f the credit of thc Province to such i an extent that the Govemment felt! they could not possibly undertake any greater burden without sen-i ously interfering with thc sale of. their bonds. This together with the ‘- scarcity of money made it. neces-i sary for us to entirely revise our plans, and we have asked the Arch- itect to prepare plans for an e‘ghty ' six bed hospital instead of 110 beds. The hospital however, will be mod- ‘ ern in every way and gives prac- tically all the facilities we havei been looking for. We will however. ‘ have to defer building the Nurses Home for the present, and will be obliged to p111. the power plant in the man building. We believe We

work can be resumed later.

When considering the revision of our plans not only had we to ooh- slder the capital outlay in the build- ings but we also had to consider in- creased cost of operation, realiz-

ing that the public demand and-

rightly so a. lowering of hospital rates if this Ls possible.

The new plans have now arrived, and the building committee, doctors and 'I‘rustees believe their these plans will give us e. hospital that will be satisfactory in every way and is as good as we can possibly afford at the present time. It is expected that the specifications will be ready in the near future, when tenders will be called for and it is hoped to have the work proceeded with of

Dr. J. A. Clark also stated the plans had been found most satis-' factory. He highly commended the‘- lrchltecture of the building.

We regret‘ that owing to ill health Mr. James Paton wBs obliged to resign as chairmen 0f the building

The work of the hospital was m2 patients days less than lest year but even at the our average number of patients per day in the hospital was 54, which shows how crowded we have been for tho greater part of the time.

It is hard work financing hospit- als where tlié assistance given b? the city and the Provincial Gov- ‘emments is not in proportion to thc work done. In the year just closed we took care oi free patients at I cost oi $9264.90 based on ward rot-

- we are going to get funds to curry out the policy oi this hospital dur- in: the 08st 49 years, nllnely that of never turning away anyone who required medics-l or surgical care, lrresp ‘ive oi whether they were able to pay or not. However, there are a fow bright spots. The city has increased their grunt from $1000 to $1500 and for which we are dilly! grateful and appreciative nnd we

feel assured that the action o: thel Govennent in establlghmg l Dbl partment oi Health, moms action in the near future which will in- .clude substantial assistancg w the Ihosptals, We have talked this mat_

the Government and we know that the Premier and Minister b1 new}; are fully convinced of the necessity of dealing in n. broad way with the hosptal problem. We believe they ‘would have done so this year only for the extraordinary problems with which they were faced.‘ We will therefore carry on giving hflflpftpl care to those who need it, expebt- ing them to pay us all they can, but turning no one away because they cannot pay.

wonderful character indeed.

The report of the Ladies Aid shows the very valuable assistance their organization has given to the hospital and the trustees wish to QXPYH: appreciation 0f their work.

The medical staff has as usual given their services freely 1n treat- ment of free patients, lectures to nurses, and have been of most val- uable assistance to the trustees in planning the new hospital.

heavier ship was hurt. Three negro firemen were brought to the mar- ine hospltal at Vineyard Haven, Mass, aboard a coast guard boat, which had intercepted the City of Chattanooga. The men were Thomas Nottage, Albert Jennings, and John Walker, all of Baltimore.

The Grecian, a small steel screw steamer operated by the merchants and miners transportation between Boston and southern ports, was ploughing through heavy sees w Norfolk, Va, with a cargo of gen- eral freight when she and the City of Chattanooga collided at 1.50 a.m., (Eastern Standard Time). She sank five miles north oi Block Is. land, just off the Rhoda Island coast, with her spars jutting above the water.

Coast guard patrol boats were summoned st once, but it was not until five hours later that the dl- stroyer Upshur found the first body. The steamer Ontario offered aid, but the City of Chatanooga replied:

"we do not need any assistance.
