While all of these men Brooklyntes. the
institution is 70 be a Greater New-York affair.
and the Swedes OF New-York taking fully as
much interest In II those OF Brooklyn.
Prominent Swedish citizens of the two cities
have long been agitatng the project OF a swed-
ish hospital. The Norwegian Hospital in South
Brooklyn they do not think quite meets the
necessity for a sanitarium for persons OF their
nationality. Several mass-meetngs were held
early In the spring which were largely attended.
and al which fully two hundred persons sgni-
fed their Willingness TO become permanent
members of hospital association II organized.
Between 81. 900 and $1,000 subscribed. A
meeting was recently held at the Clarendon
Hotel. at which fifty Swedish organizations Of
the Greater New-York were represented There
was much enthusiasm. and no one who left the
meeting had any doubt but that the movement
would result SUCCESSFULLY
Preliminary arrangements have been made for
holding a monster fair In the Universal Building,
next to the Postofice. This fair Will be held in
the last week Of November or possibly in the
first week Of December. All OF the Swedish or
carnations of the two cities have agreed to do
their shares toward making the fair a big sue
cess and President Edley is confident that not
less than $4,000 Will be raised In this way. III Is
ever by membership fees. the annual member
ship fee having been fixed at -. When S,Do"o
has been secured the work OF putting up a SUIT
able building will begin. 1t is probable that the
land for the hospital will be bought this rail- II
Is the intention to buy sufficient for the purpose
running through from street to street The work
on the building will probably not begin until
next wear The trustees have not yet gone deep
lv into the matter of site but 1t Is probable that
the hospital will be located in what may be
called the Swedish section Of the city, lying south
az Atlantic-ave in the Third and Tenth wards
II Is estimated that there are between 2ODO and
05 900 Swedes in Brooklyn, and something less
than that number in New-York. The hospital Is
TO be non-sectarian.
