Il About 10000 was raised by subscription. when
ho agreed to postpone the carrying out OF

The demands for hospital benefits become greater
from year to year and institution. with its

The hospital has beds for about two hundred
patients The average number of patients treated
in the hospital each day last year was nearly 225
which greatly overtaXes the accommodations.
Owing TO lack OF beds. many worthy applicants Tor
admission are compelled to wait.

hospital said Tribune reporter yesterday after
noon that the directors would probably take steps
to raise the desired amount for the new hospital at
their next annua. meeting In December. The SIN-

Ninzesheimer has yet been received by the
treasurer. When the subscription books are re-
opened | believe the amount needed TO build and
to maintain the hospital Will be quickly raised
There IL need OF larger and improved hospital.
The new home of the hospital will probably be
centrally situated. to be within easy access OF
the visiting surgeons and physicians who are called
TO attend patients at all hours OF the day and
night"

Directors and chairman of the Executive Commit.
