1t is the intention to lease the Blair
property as soon as possible. A COM
mttee has been appointed with power
to draw the lease and it was stated
yesterday that this week would prob
ably see the negotiation completed. 1t
was the original aim to secure pledges
for sS,000
The interest in the new institution
has been so manifest, however, that al
ready $4,000 has been pledged This
money will be used in the support of
the hospital for two years, at the end
of which time the state legislature will
be solicited for an appropriation.
ON A BROAD BASIS.
1t is the intention of the promoters
to organize a hospital on the broadest
possible basis, though the new school"
of homeopathy will control the insti-
tuition.
The hospital staff will be composed
strictly of homeopathic physicians, yet
no restrictions will be placed on physic-
ians of other schools who may be de-
sired by patient in the hospital. 1t
will be open to all. At least that is the
idea of one of the prominent promot-
ers.
The next meeting will be held at the
call of the president.
