Librarian Ball will not seek the gay
whirl of the festive summer resort this
year. For weeks past Miss Ball and
her assistants have been busy in compil-
nearing completion now, and 1t is
July /. There are Is, 900 volumes to be
described and each volume requires on
an average three entries. The work of
proofreading and revising will occupy
three months, and hence Miss Bail gets

Efforts Being Made TO Improve the Hos
pital

pital.
Threatening storms reduced the at
tendance at the meeting called at Park
church last night by the trustees OF the
u. b. 4. home. TO take some action
necessary TO making needed improve
ments at the hospital. Harvey l. Hol-
lister presided.
Thomas d. Gilbert stated the objects
of the meeting. After giving . brief
account OF the history OF the institu-
ton, ne said that the benehcient insti-
tutions OF the city are the only things
that have not kept up with the times.
The impr now needed at the
u. B. A. home are: An addition ex-
ciusiveiy for hospital purposes, new
elevator, new steam heating apparatus
in place of the present furnaces, new
elevator, new plumbing and new
closets. All Will involve an expendl-
ture of $4,000.
DIR. Schuyler Graves was asked to
discuss the needs from . medico-sani-
tary point of Wow. He said that an
institution claiming ~ its function the
alternating of human suffering and the
saving of human life should be well
equipped with ali hospital and medical
facilities. The city has outgrown the
u. B. A. equipment. The plumbing
must be improved; the heating system
is defective. Steam or hot water should
be used. Improvements should be
made in the Obstetrical department.
There ought to be an annex devoted
exclusively to the care of obstetrical
patients. They could be better taken
care of, and fewer patlents would be
troubled with diseases after confine-
ment. A new operating room 10 needed
and the kitchen should be changed
from the basemens.
Mrs. s. L. Whitney stated that there
are thirty.six hospital patients in the
home and twelve old women and three
old men.
DR.. Graves further said that new
operating room would insure higher
and better class of surgical patients.
As it is now there is q strong tempta.
ton on the part of surgeons to take
their patients where the facilities are
better. Mrs. Whitney said the work of
the institution had almost doubled
during the past year. An elevator il
lmperatively needed. The nurses are
on their feet all day, and as 1t is now,
they have TO run up and down stairs
because the elevator can't be used.
