HOSPITAL BOARD
APPEALS FOR AID
$4,000 Must Be Raised or
Facilities at ChiIdren's In
stitution Reduced.

Declaring that they must either
Washington or cut down still further
the expenses of the Children's Hos
p,tal, thereby reducing the institu-
tons facilities for caring for sick
children, the board Of trustees of the
hospital today made an appeal for
financial assistance from the residents
of the District. A total of $4,000 is
needed, payab however. in three in
stallments of $4,000 each. the last two
OF which are to be made June 80, 1917.
and June 80. 1918.
The deficiency is due to the increas-
ing usefulness of the hospital. it is
explained. in the circular letter sent
out today and signed by the following
trustees of the institution; Willard
Woodruff. vice president; Cuno H. Ru-
dolph, vice president; Dr. Samuel s.
Adams. secretary: n. Landon Burchell.
treasurer: DR.. George n, Acker. Will

Demands on Hospital Grow.
In making the appeal the trustees set
forth, in part:
THE deficiency occurring in the pres
ent fiscal year is due to the increasing
usefulness of the Children's Hospital, and
to the growing demands upon the hospital
to meet the growing needs of our growing
city
The only revenue which the hospital
has to rely upon it derives. and has de-
rived, from the generous support of our
citizens, except that the District OF Co.
lunlbia pays to the hospital the sum of
$4,000 per annum for the care and
treatment of the INDECENT children sent
to the hospital by the board of charities.
For SO much of the present fiscal
year, up to June 16, 1916, the excess of
expenses by the hospital over and
above receipts from the District of
Columbia, on the basis of the allow
ance made to the hospital by the Dis
trict government for the care and
treatment of children sent to the hos
pital by the board of charities. amounts
to S2.24o.67. as reported by the treas
urer of the hospital: which deficit on
this account, in the current fiscal year,
has been preceded by three deficits also
on this account: In the year 1911 of
sl.046.10. in the year 1al3 of $1,017.2s
and in the year 1915 of s1,74s.So.
The trustees have for several years
past asked the DlStrlct government Tor
an increase in the allowance to the
hospital on account of the patients sent
to the hospital by the board of char
tiles. without. however, up to the pres
ent time, having received such increase,
although the District government has
this year asked Congress for a mod
crate increase in the sum of s., 900 to
be made to the Childrens Hospital on
this account, but which increase, should
1t be granted by Congress, would not
apply until the next fiscal year
The trustees of the hospital have
sought to reduce expenses at the hos
pital, but, except in the matter of the
discontinuance of the services of the
orthopedic nurse, they have been un-
able to see how the expenses of the
hospital can be reduced without unduly
curtailing it's usefulness"

Economic conditions here grow worse.
There are reports that Gen. Carranza

Gen. lara, the new governor, in q
public speech to the workingmen was
extremely anti-American, and it wa.
reported that he denounced President

both Carranza and Obregon are known
to be extremely anti-foreign. The same

ASSESSMENT UP TO

It Is Claimed That Under Proposed Ar
rangement Fixed Charges of the Rail

100000 Annually.

BOSTON, Feb. -. = A plan for re-
organization of the Boston & Maine
railroad system, involving the purchase
by that company of some or all of The
lines which it now leases and operates,
was adopted by the directors yesterday
Directors of the Eitchburg and the Bos-
ten 6 Lowell roads, which are among
the largest of these leased subsidiaries,
voted approval of the plan.
The suggested reorganization, di-
rectors Of the Boston & Maine an
nounced deals primarily with the Con
necticut River, Lowell & Andover, Con
cord & Montreal, and Manchester &
Lawrence roads, as well as the Boston
& Lowell and the Fitchburg. These six
are the only lines directly leased by the
Boston & Maine, 20 others being sub
leased through these. The rental on
the six direct leased lines is said to
be so per cent of the total rent paid.
The basis Of the proposed consolida
ton is the surrender by these reads OF
their leases to the Boston & Maine, the
exchange of the capital stock of the
leased lines for new preferred stock OF
the consolidated Boston & Maine, anC
a provision that this preferred stocl
