suitable to the present needs of the work would
cost nearly $500, 900 more than had been appro-
priated for the building. and that amount would

pital be built upon the original plans, even if a

amounts for such worthy cause if the neces-
sity for il were properly presented to them He
backed up TINS proposition by a persona! slIt OF
$4,000 for the construction of an ear clinic
Encouraged by this large aid aud hopeful out
look, the board Immediately passed a resolution
to incur the debt and begin at once with plans
for building which will be entirely ade-
quate for their increasing work and an orna-
ment TO this city.

liable work IN this city. Every year at Christ
mas the newSboys look forward to the dinner
and the presents he delights III providing for the
