City Hospital.
The President called for the report Of the Com
mittee on City Hospital DR.. stratton, OF that
committee, stated that he was not prepared 10
report on that matter.
Dr. Garcin said that II the Alumni would con-
tribute 20 the city-hospital fund the amount 30
received would be n nucleus, and he would be one
Of forty TO contribute s25 or one Of twenty 70
contribute $50.
DIR. Parker said he didn't think that would act,
for 20 successfully support city hospital II
would require at least $4,000 per year; that
while the outlook for a hospital was not very
encouraging Just at this time he was satisfied II
the question was sgitated aud influence brought
TO bear Il would result In the establishment OF
city hospital within the next few years. At this
time, said the Doctor, the finances OF the city
were In such a condition that there was no pro-
liability Of the City Council doing anything In
that direction.
THE MEMBER sLIPPED OCT.
DR.. Cullen said he had worked diligently two
years ago with the City Council TO obtain an ap-
preparation for city hospital and had impressed
the members OF the necessity Of such an institu-
tion, and succeeded in getting them 20 agree 10
an appropriation Of $4,000, but when the vote
was taken one OF his men slipped out and the
appropriation was defeated by Just one vote.
Drs. Upshur, James, Riddell, and Tabo also
took part In the debate ON this question.
