Much Needed Institution
! Local Hospital

i A modern hospital for Har.
Irlson County, non.sectarian,
suitably located, containing
20 beds and strictly fi~e-ptoof
has been proposed.
A board of directors appoints
led by T. NJ Gilmore, are to Sc
Ilect a trained nurse as superin-
tendent. Resident physicians
shall be an advisory board to
act as directors of control. In
absence of Mr. Pike, DR.. Konig.
macher was appointed Secreta-
ry.
A hospital of this nature
would be a great saving to this
community by eliminating all
Omaha and Council Bluffs hos
pital expenses. IL will be more
pleasant for the patients allow
ing them to receive the little
attentions from local friends.
This institution will be open
to outside physicians if patient
so desires.
This is one of the Invest ques-
tions brought up by the Com
mercial Club and each and
everyone Of them offers their
hearty ca operation toward
making this a success.
