MEETING OF THE
 HOSPITAL BOARD
Re-affirmed Decision to Build at Mena, but Some Notifications of Plans Necessary - A Change in
 Personnel of Board.

T. J. Clayton and Harry D. Ravenscraft returned Sunday afternoon from the meeting of the board of directors Of the Hospital Association.
 The board re-afhrmed the determination to build the hos pital in Mena and vent into the matter of the protests that had been filed against using as much money on the building as was provided by the board last Novem- Der.
 John McCormlck, a member of the board from PIttsburg, was dropped from the board because it was shown he was not an em- ployee of the road. w. o. Van Pelt. also of Pittsburg, who had filed protests against the expend- itures to be made at Mena, was shown to be not entitled to mem bership in the hospital assocIa- ton.
 There are certain matters to be arranged during the next few weeks and another meeting will be held in June, probably about the 18th.
 k. R. Cooper, superintendent of Machinery for the Kansas City Southern, a member on the Hos pitaI board, representing the rail- road, was in Mena on his car Tuesday. On being interviewed bv a representative of The Star Mir. Cooper stated that the board was unanimous on the question of building the hospital in Mena, and that soon, but that the fall ing off in business and the number of men employed on the road had greatly reduced the income of the association and that he deemed 1t necessary in some particulars to modify the plans as formerly made.
 It is expected that General 1 Manager Coughlin, chairman of the board, will soon write a letter for publication in which he will explain certain matters for the benefit of Mena people relating to the hospital.
