Mrs. David Baum was the guest Of
honor at luncheon given at the
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1917-05-22
ISSUE IS NOT FOR
ST. ANTHONY'S BUT
FOR GOOD OF CITY

The matter Of campaign for funds
for new building for 81 Anthony's
hospital IS not merely question as
70 whether or not 81 Anthony's shall
have new building
The real question is whether or not
Rock Island shall have adequate hos
pitaI facilities.
Anyone who knows the present sit
uat1on appreciates very well that Rock
Island is not only behind the times IN
the matter or hospital equipment but
that Ct IS also far behind its neIghbor
cities, Moline and Davenport, and that
its present equipment is totally in
adequate 70 It's present and pressing
needs.
Davenport has Mercy hospital. with
$50 beds. che city hospital with 36
beds, and St. Luke's hospital which,
with the completion OF the new build
ing, viii have a capacity for 800 Thus.
Davenport has accommodations for
335 people. aside from the detention
hospital, the insane departments OF
Mercy hospital and various semi-pub
lie institutions.
Moline has the city hospital, with
capacity for 50. which IS nowadays
usually stretched to 100. the new Lutb
eran hospital, with SO beds, and the
tri-city sanitarlum. with IS beds. The
city hospital has also she Maternity
home. with capacity for So. Thus Mo
line has accommodations for about
two hundred and thirty patients.
Rock Island has, b ssides the tuber-
culosis sanitarium. only st. Anthony 5
hospital, with its antiquated building
and equipment. having q capacity Of
S. beds Can there be any question
as TO Rock Islands backwardness in
the matter?
The provision made in Moline and
Davenport Is not extrayaganf, as is
shown by the fact that the facilities
are I'm constant use. and usually to
capacity. The new Lutheran hospital
Ell Moline. which has been in opera
ton only a few months is already
overcrowded, and IN need OF more
room. Part Of the crowding Ia DaveR-
port and Moline hospitals is due to
the fact that so many people from
Rock Island 60 there for treatment
because Of the lack or accommodations
here at home
St. Anthony's hospital boasts int
it has never turned away a patient,
bat it IS a fact that many patients have
sought treatment elsewhere without
even trying to get in at ST. Anthonys.
because Of the lack Of space and equip
ment there for caring for them in O
satisfactory manner And when resi-
dents Of Rock Island 60 10 Davenport
Tor hospital accommodation they may
be acting for their own individual best
interests. but they are not doing any
thing 70 help build up Rock Island
interests as a city.
But If Rock Island does not provide
r+Ey
pital the people cannot be blamed for
going elsewhere, although when they
do thus 60 they are taking business
away from their home city and are
spending money that gees TO build up
another community in which they
have no interest
The way to keep business at home
is TO provide what is needed A new
building for st. Anthonys hospital is
a good business proposition for Rock
Island
