Made Possible BY Generosity OF Mr.
and Mrs. &. n. Everett.
The Newark, O., Advocate OF jam
AIRY IS contained the following editor
ial relative to the new hospital which
was recently opened in that city;
Edward II. Everett was in the cit,
yesterday and was permitted to visit
the almost completed institution fol
which his generosity was largely re
sponsible the new hospital at lndi
ana and Buena Vista streets.
ITO every one of the 1900 people
who contributed toward this worthy
cause due credit is given, and with
out this aid the new hospital would
have been impossible, but to Mr.. and
Mrs Everett is due the credit for
splendid donation which formed the
nucleus of the fund which has pro
vided the city with an up'to-date in
stituton.
MIR. Everett met with the board oil
trustees and visited the hospital in
speeding the entire building, incluc
ing the nurses home which was for
merly Mr.. Everett's residence. He
expressed his entire satisfaction and
delight over the work, this being the
first opportunity he has had to view
the results of the movement to give
Newark a modern hospital.
Mr. Everett presented the trustees
with his check for $4,000, and $4,000
worth of securities bearong interest at
the rate of per cent. This last act
was in keeping with his agreement
when the original proposition was
made to the hospital board in 1911.
''At that time Mr.. and Mrs. Everett
agreed to give their residence prop
erty, including about two acres OF
ground, TO the hospital association
provided a fund of $4,000 was raised
within a year. He also agreed to give
five per cent of the amount subscrib-
ed and Sie.9Qo worth of securities.

used towards maintaining the institu.
ton
"Thc $4,000 was subscribed in
eight days in May, 1912. The building
has recently been completed. 1t pro
yides accommodation for 81 patients.
Tho hospital, completely equipped
and modern in every way, cost moro
than $4,000.
Screens, vacuum cleaners, avn
ings, llundry equipment, landscape
gardening. etc. remain to be done
and these items will bring the total
cost close to $4,000.
More than 1890 Newark people
subscribed TO tho $4,000 fund and
almost the full amount of the sub
scriptions has been collected, few
now being in the process OF collec-
ton
Every Newark citizen should real
lie the benefit 10 the community
FROM such an institution. II is to
be hoped that none will be forced to
personally experience such benefits,
but Of course such 4 thing is out of
the question. The hospital makes it
possible to give the proper care to
those who are aff4htedS such care as
would BIO difficult, If not, unfeaslbe,
without the proper facilities.
at is to be regretted that every
Newark citizen could not have visit
ed the institution. upon the occasion
of its opening, that he might see
first hand Just what provisions have
been made for relieving the suffer
ing OF mankind.
Newark people will not soon for
get the generous giving on tile part
Of their neighbors, nor will they for
get the interest of Mr.. and Mrs
Everett in their old home, which was
evidenced by their munifcient gifl to
the city in general"
