The occupancy OF the Greenman
house by Rev. Joseph L. Peacock
takes that beautiful property out OF
the list as prospective hospital for
the present This was considered an
ideal location for a hospital, and the

abandoned and the property leased.

the work is progressing the /
a- District Nurses society has |

canvass for membership and !
rfs is being made. 1t is planned to |
ara the system with one nurse and |
,s,d 10 tine force as the requirements /
Lland and the income warrants.
Ms il is a physical impossibility to /
establish hospital in Westerly for a |
low years, it has been suggested that |
q cottage hospital be given consider
alton and, it Is believed, this could be
done IL taken up by the new nursing
society and made a part Of its work.
A conveniently located cottage or sin
gle tenement house could be built or /
rented as a home for the nurses. and /
could also be utilized as an emergen-
ey hospital. supplied with the neces-
sary medical and surgical requisites
1t Is believed that the cottage hospital
would be at least self supporting. and
that with the income from member
ship fees and donations, a force Of
nurses adequate for the present needs
Of Westerly could be maintained
