VICTORIA HOSPITAL
MAKES AN APPEAL
Presi lent Bishop Willis Says
I hey Need More Money
at Ouce.

Editor Advertiser: Permit me through
your columns to make known to the
public the need of funds to meet the
present running expenses Of the Vic
toria Hospital for Ineurables.
There is danger of this need being
overlooked in consequence of the large
sums being subscribed to carry oat Mr..
Young's laudable scheme for building
and endcwing permanent hospital for
the same purpose.
1t must be borne in mind that these
munificent contributions that have been
mentioned in the Papers are given for
what is still in the future. 1t is not
likely that the permanent hospital can
be completed according to Mr.. Young's
proposal for some months to come.
| Meanwhile the present hospital,
which is supplying an acknowledged
need of the Community, has to be car
ried on in it's temporary quarters in
| Kakaako.
| And this requires funds. The exper-
fence of three months has shown that
to keep the hospital going on sound
economical bass requires from $3.50 to
$500 a month. The Council of State has
tEoted $1,000 for the running expenses
for the biennial period, which is rather
more than one-fourth of the whole
sum that will be required. Towards
| this the larger sums that have been
received by the treasurer up to the
present time, are: S. M. Damon, $1,000;
Mr.. and Mrs. Louisson. $3.50: per Bishop
of Panopolis. SITS: Mrs. Sinclair Robin
son. $50: Miss Jane s. Gay. $50: Mrs. S
Gay. $50: Catholic Benevolent Society
500: Mrs. James Campbell 500: Brit
ish Benevolent Society. s534.1O.
