of trustees.
In connection Herewith the boar
of managers say they will be YER
glad to have anyone furnish room
or endow room, bed or cot, and re
quest that all persons interested ap
ploy to the Superintendent for fur
ther information.
The board of lady managers, nav
ing the Internal arrangements ant
management of it's affairs, have con
sidered with much careful though
the establishment of endowed and
memorial rooms in the New Hospital
with conclusion as follows:
To endo wa room maintaining
free patient, $4,000.
To endow a room maintaining
patient at half expense, $4,000.
To establish memorial room en-
titling donor to name the room, ST.,
900, and room furnished, costing
about 5000.
These endowed and memorial rooms

ity.
All money to create these endowed
and memorial rooms shall in advance
be placed in the hands of the treasur-
er of the board of lady managers,
who will insure their safe investment
and the interest from the same be
economically used for the benefit OF
these rooms, by the Superintendent,
with the advice and consent OF the
board of lady managers.
A room furnished by church or
organization or individual will be en-
titled to name for the room, so long
as the room is supplied with all
things necessary, agreeable to the
view of the Superintendent, as in ac-
cordance with the regulations OF the
Hospital, otherwise the church or or
panization or individual loses the
right to the name and other disposl-
tion can be made of the room.
All furniture in rooms must De
new, sanitary and useful, according
to Hospital regulations.
To have named cot would be Sub
iect to same as above, furnished, sup
piled with all necessities, agreeable
to the advice of Superintendent.
To make a cot free for y patient
would entail the expense of $1.5o a
dav for adults and 81 90 for children
when occupied, the cot to be at the
disposal of donor or donors; out wfcr
vacant. in case of necessity, could be
filled by Superintendent. By careful
calculation the cost to the Hospital
for board, nurse, medicine, dressing
and physician is at the least Sl.oo
