A HOSPITAL
TO BE SECURED
Local Association Starts Ac-
tive Work Toward 1t
LOOKING OVER THE SITES
IT Is Thought That Barre Will Have
a City Institution in Operation
This Summer--Meeting Of AS
sociation Last Night.

The Barre City Hhospital association,
which was organized and incorporated
several years ago, proposes to make a
beginning for a city hospital this spring,
and committees have been appointed TO
solicit funds sufficient to operate the
institution, and also to secure a proper
place for the same. III the purpose Of
the association meets with q ready re-
sponse ii il hoped t0 have the hospital in
operation within three months. Three
thousand dollars is the amount estimated
that viii be required for rent, heat, fit
tings and for attendants for a small
hospital for the first year, and every
one in the city will be given an oppor-
tunity to aid in this worthy enter
prise,
AT the annual meeting of the associa-
tion In December resolution was adopt
cd authorizing the appointment Of a
committee to investigate and report on
how much money would be required to
make a beginning. At a meeting held
March s, this committee reported "that
when the association had funds at its
disposal amounting 10 not less than s3,-
900, which would warrant a years rum
ming expenses, they could make begin
ming The following expenses were est
tinated: rent, $500, matron. S4s0 heat
and light, 5000; help, $500; operating,
$500: furniture, $500; living expenses,
$500
This report was accepted and a dis
eussion Of location brought out the prop
osition that If suitable location could
be found, 1t would be better to buy, and
in such case ii would needs be n place
large enough To allow for growth and ex
pansion. The proposition was advanced
that ii proper place was found which
could be purchased at a reasonable price,
it could be purchased in similar man
neF to that in which the library lot was
purchased and held, ]. e., fifty or more
men sign a note on which money can be
raised to purchase a place, the hospital
association to pay interest and taxes.
This would gire the hospital a perma-
nent home and one that in time could
he paid for and the sgneFs released.
Several sites and places have been in
spected and an option ON some one Of
them viii be secdred in q day or two.
At an adjourned meeting of the asso-
citation held last evening, it was voted
that the committee appointed at the an
nnaI meeting TO look into the require
nlents to make beginning be author
ized to solicit subscriptions to the
amount of $4,000, and when pledged d
place could be secured and the hospital
opened. The committee was also au-
thorized to secure an option on a suitable
place for a hospital
