The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and

Li The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish tho Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The promises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available space 'being
occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children,
but no more can be admitted in the present building.
