did before such an OFFER was made.
For some months the committee

The proposition had been discussed
for months in the committee and in
council, and by citizens generally. and
IL was determined by the committee
TO accept the proposition. So, a fav-
orable recommendation was sent to
council, prior to the coming in of the
new council. on September LIST. But
that council failed to act upon the
proposition.
Then the new body came into ex-
istence. The proposition was re-
newed on October 25th by the board
OF trustees Of the hospital. and the
committee discussed the matter and
asked the finance committee for the
appropriation OF a sufiicient sum to
employ an architect to look into the
matter of improvements to the old
City hospital and to look, over the
ground so far as the Memorial hos
pital was concerned.
