A GOOD START
The Commercial Club Takes
Proper Action
NEW HOSPITAL WILL BE GO.
Many Promises of Support.

sAt the meeting of the Commercial
Club last Monday evening, suitable
and proper action was taken concern
ing the building of a hospital build
ing that will be building. Every
member present spoke in favor of the
proposition, and ali were agreed that
it was needed institution, and would
be of. great benefit to the city and
county. Nearly all expressed the de-
sire to have the institution as close to
the city as possible, some advocating
the purchase of the Morrison house,
while others thought more ground
and less of a building would be
better. "A committee consisting of
w. P. FEEDER, Jas. w. Clarke, and Ira
Brougher was appointed to confer
with the Mother Superior concerning
the location, said committee to re-
port at an adjourned meeting of the
club Monday evening.
The question of location is being
discussed more or less, and while it
would be pleasanter for the sisters in
charge to be near the school, still, the
building contemplated to be enacted,
provides for sePerate apartments for
those in charge, in fact will be prac,
tically seperate institution, except
that the Mother Superior will be the
head of both institutions. On the
other hand, the hospital should be
located where the city water, and
electric lights could be taken advan-
tage of, and above all where the pro-
lection of the City Fire Department
could. be had. 1t should also be
placed at the most convenient point,
: and most easy of access, SO that
friends of private patients might visit
them as much as possible. One
physician says 1T should be placed
where the Mother Superior thinks
best.s Another says any place where
the three advantages above mentioned
can be had. While third suggested
the block east of G. N. Moses resi-
dence, or any of the blocks on high
ground in that vicinity. The ques-
ton. of location will be fully discussed,
and report made at the meeting next
Monday night.
The club took the further action of
.appropriating $500 for the hospital,
providing the building and equip
ment will cost not less than $4,000,
. and the building contemplated will
cost that much. alone. With this
amount as starter on the subscrip-
ton list, it seems as though the peo-
'ple of the city would easily come up
. with S250O or $4,000. Already three
gentlemen have signifed their willing
ness to subscribe S100 each, and
doubtless many others will do like
wise. Active work towards securing
subscriptions will begin after Monday
nights club meeting. If the little
city of Hoisington, which year ago,
with one third of the population of
Great Bend, could raise $500 for
Y. NJ. c. A. Building, Great Bend
certainly can do as well for hospital
Every person should do all in their
power to raise as much as possible,
and it is hoped good turn out of
; club members viii be had next Mon
day.
