To The Voters:

! wish To- ask you 10 allow me- to
make this NAL statement in the mat
ter Of the election to be held tomor
row on the question Of voting bonds
for new hospital
The only possible excuse for not
voting yes is the matter of taxation.
| realize that taxes are high and it
cannot he denied that if the bond is
voted. there will be slight increase.
1t is very slight, however For an il
.ustration, man who now pays $40 in
taxes would, if the bond proposition
is carried, next year pay Sl034. In
the whole seven years that the bond
issue runs, it would only cost this
man $3.50. 4 man who pays $50 now
would in the whole seven years only
have to pay $3.50 additional, 50 that
the tax is very small
] have found people basing their
objections to tle new hospital on the
ground that they are dissatisfied with
the present hospital. Instead of being
an objection it ought to be the strong
est reason why they should vote for
a new hospital where the conditions
viii. all be better, there will be more
ward room and there will be more
cheap rooms. The management Of a
larger institution can be made better
and more satisfactory Everything
will he clean and new and fresh. If
the bond issue is beaten, it simply
means that the people will have to
continue to put up with the present
accommodation for the future.
Another reason why we should be
willing to make the sacrifice of the
few dollars, is That cities of ha.f ON
size have hospitals twice as good, We
ought 10 have pride enough in on
city to be willing to sacrifice little
money to have hospital that Is q
credit to the city. We ought to be
boosters for our city and moi
kiOthfi >,
/ have heard the complaint against
the hospital, that they take in pa
TENTS from the outside of the city
but they are compelled to do this
Half of the pay patients come from
the outside of the city. We got So,
ia last year from patients outside
of the city. If they had not paid it
our own. people would have had TO pay
it and the price Of the rooms W0uiC
simply have to be doubled If We
have new hospital, there will bC
plenty of room 10 accommodate al
our own people and also all outside
people who pay us so much mney
and by their payments save the pee
