 But all this requires money. Wt have gone to Hartford and secured ar appropriation from the state of $5,00t a year, but our treasurer assures mt that we are still running behind, ane that no unnecessary expense must bs incurred nor further development oi the plant be undertaken till we can set the wherewithal.
 Subscriptions and contributions o1 money, the adding of codicilS to wills remembering the hospital by gifts after death, endowments of beds and and memorial funds. must be secured if this hospital Is to continue to inn prove and develop in it's usefulness to the community. The authorities will welcome all such aid.
 Must Raise Private Room Charges.
 believe it again is absolutely necessary to raise our charges for pri vate rooms. and all those able to pay must be made to realize that they are not charity patients and should pay fully for all 1t costs to care for them when at tho hospital.
 This class must not go to the hos pita1 expecting care attendance, med icines, etc. for less than it would cost them at home. They go to the hospi- tai and take private accommodations as the best possible means of recovery and they should thank the hospital and it's donors for the blessed privi- lege.
 can see no way to continue to serve this class unless we again try to remove those able to pay for them selves by raising our rates for room as well as ambulance service, and help them out of the fully or partially aided patient class.

 This latter class will not and can not be asked to pay for any service ambulance or otherwise-more than they can afford, but the well to do they get.
 Needs of the Hospital
 The dispensary is great boon to the poor. but a new distinct and heavy burden on our finances. There is no funds to pay for very much needed addition to the nurses home, more pri- yate rooms and a badly needed second J matters staring the board in the face.
 The aid and advise of you ladies is sought to secure these needed addi- tions, and this brings me to the more immediate work the ladies can do to bring before the mothers. what the new chi1dren's ward offers, and can do for their sick children.
 A mother naturally resists placing her loved one with strangers in a strange place. but I do believe that you ladies only, can by visit ing the sick little ones. save many lives and reap a rich reward by bring ing the privileges of the ward to their attention.
 Vote of Thanks.
 On motion of Frank L. Woodard a vote of thanks was passed to the Y. NJ. c. A. for the ues of the hall for the reception.
 Roses for Mrs. Hubbard.
 With a few graceful words Mrs. Henry T. Arnold presented Mrs. c. l.. Hubbard a beautiful bouquet of roses, from the team captains and members of her work in the leadership of the campaign which has met with such success.
 In her cordial acknowledgment of the gift from the teams, Mrs Hubbard also advised them that they might tell inquirers that the new ambulance could not be secured all in d minute, but that it would probably be two or three months before it could be built and delivered.
 The remainder of the afternoon was given over to the social side of the reception, Mrs. OSgOod and Mrs. AV- eriI serving, assisted by Mrs. Case.
