WHAT Will HOSPITAL COST

The Council committees that are con-
sdcrinS the acceptance of Memorial
Hospital by the city are right In seek :
ing definite facts on which to base
their report The need of proper hos
pital facilities is obvious, but the pos
sbility of bringing on the city un-
warranted expense is too serious to
be made matter of hasty Seneraliza
tion or vague theories. No business
man would entertain proposition in
rolving the possible expenditure Of
from $1,000 to $4,000 without the
most careful and mature elaboration
upon all the aspects Of the undertake
ing. 'rhc proposal to secure estimates
from contractors on the probable cost
OF such additions as may have TO be
made to the offered building is a SEN
sible preliminary to definite action
Ii should be possible To determine with
reasonable accuracy both the initial
outlay and the cost of maintenance.
1t is not only needful to discover
the best way of securing hospital,
but also 10 settle how far the city's
finances can go in the proper sup
port of suoh an institution. VIII the
annual outlay for this purpose be $50
0o0 or 100000? And how much of the
amount Will be saved from funds now
expended in this direction at vari-
Gus institutions? Capitalization usu-
ally means economy and better SER
