REPORT.
Since our last regular meeting the Hospital
Committee have visited and inspected the City
Hospital; We found everything in a satisfac-
tory condition.
At our last meeting an order was made al-
| thorixing the destruction Of the old brlck
smallpox ward or pest-house rs soon as y
| can be vacated. We would now suggest and
| recommend the removal of the plank small
pox ward, which is comparatively new one
and in good condition. about sixty or seventy
feet further from the General Hospital, ana
| the erection of two similar plank. wards IN
liou of tho old brick building TO be destroyed;
also. that a. cistern DO made for these wards
We would further recommend the raising Of
the small frame house in which tho physician
lives about two or three feet higher, from the
ground. The building, was originally placed
fiat upon the ground; the timbers are now de-
caycd and rapidly giving away and should BIO
repaired.
The contract for supplying the place with
coal for the winter should be made the present
month or six weeks hence.
The Hospital Committee report favorable on
the above suggestions ey ri niT ThSqrRRssSTps;
