improvements Planned

Plans for the widening Of the scope
of the work of the Kenosha Hospital
were laid at a meeting of the women
of the board Of directors of the insti
tuition held at the home of Mrs. Z. G.
Simmons, Jr., on Prairie avenue Fri
day afternoon, and during the meet
ing ii developed that the women were
ready to accept the task laid down
upon them by the board of directors of
the Association and take hold of the
plans to raise fund for the erection
of a new hospital in the city. Mrs.
z. G. Simmons Jr., acted as.chairman
of the meeting and Mrs.sW. w. Strong
was the secretary. 1t was decided to
appoint a committee of twenty-five
ladies who are to act as patronesses of
the Association. This committee was
named at the meeting on Friday after
noon, but the names Of the ladies ap-
pointed will not be made public until
after they have accepted the work,
The committee of patronesses, as
named, will include women from all
parts of the city, and as far as posi-
BILE every nationality represented IN
the city will have its representation on
the board of patronesses. Church
lines have been followed as well and
all of the congregations will have
something to say in the future growth
of the hospital. A number of the la
dies named have already accepted the
appointment and it is thought that all
will accept within a few days when
the full list will be given to the public.
The making of committee of pat
ronesses will open a new regime in
the work for the hospital, and the
Board of Directors hope by the aid of
the women to be able to greatly widen
the scope of the work. The hospital
has been a great success during the
four years that it has been in exist
ence, but it is thought that with the
aid of the women patronesses it will
be even more successful.
The ladies named as patronesses
are expected to take a special interest
in all the work of the hospital. They
are to have charge of raising the fund

time they will be expected to take off
the shoulders of the Board of Direc-
tors some of the details in connection
with the routine work of the institu-
ton. Nearly all Of the hospitals in
the larger cities have their auxiliary
board among the women, and these
boards have proved to be of greatest
value.
At the meeting on Friday afternoon
no steps were taken to outline the
plans for raising the large sum needed
for the new hospital, but the matter
will be taken up just as soon as the
board of patronesses has fully organ
lied. 1t was planned, however, to
make the movement more cosmo-
politan one than ever before, and
every person in the city will be given
a chance to aid in paying for the new
institution.
The members and officers of the
Board of Directors Of the Association
have great faith in the ability of the
women to raise the fund for the new
building and it is thought that under
their direction the fund can be raised
so as to assure the completion of a
new hospital by the close of 1908.
