We uo,Ir cop,,,,sttaa
make Recommendations to the March
annual meeting, of the Hospital asso-
Citations suggesting certain changes,
] beg leave to Htihmit che foalow report:
T. We Recommend that the Union
Hospital be Incorporated.
2. We recommend that the capital
stock be $4,000.
3. We further recommend that the
par value of each share be $100, (any-
body having paid less than 500 into
the present fund can secure a share
by paying the additional amount nee
essary to bring the subscription up
to $100).
d. We recommend that due notice
be published of the change in the
form of organization and calling on
anybody not willing to allow their
subscription to stand, nor willing to
increase said subscription to $1O0,
that such parties call on the treasurer
within thirty days from time of pub
lished notice for said money, or to be
thereafter barred.
S. If the foregoing recommends
tions be adopted, we further suggest
that committee of three be appoint
ed to secure commission, and that
books Of subscription be opened.
6. When total of Ten Thousand
Dollars in subscriptions, including the
funds already in hand, be subscribed
in bona fide pledges, the incorpor tors
be then called together and an organ
ization perfected.
7. We further recommend that in
the operation of the hospital com
mittee of ladies be appointed to take
charge of the conduct of the hospita,
subject to the direction of the Board
of Directors of the corporation.
8. A committee of three be appoint.
ed to draw up bylaws for the organi-
zation is further recommended.
8. We further recommend that the
foard of Directors consist of not more
than five members chosen from Tn,
stockholders.
In conclusion, your committee brgs
to say that we have made a thorough
investigation of the hospitals located
at Gaffney, Greenwood and Laurens
and we have based our recommends.
tions largely upon the information
thus secured. Each of these institu
tions is in nature of Joint stock
company. They are located in about
the same size cities as Union. They
are each upon paying basis and have
been from the start. The cost in eaci
case for hospital and equipment is
around Twenty Thousand Dollars"
