appeared at meeting Of the Council o
Defense and Board of Health and inquir
ed if it were possible that the Heaitl
Committee would permit these gentle
men 10 use one of the buildings offere'
us for an Emergency Hospital for th'
men working at the Harlan and Puse,
and Jones Shipbuilding Plants as the IN
fuenza epidemic had reached botl
Plants, and that approximately 60 pc
cent of the men in both plants were IL
with either mild OF aggravated cases o
Spanish influenza. Immediately, W.
took advantage of the offer OF the New
Century Club and turned this building
into an Emergency Hospital and beior'
y. m. of this day, had 80 beds all com
plete with a patient in each one OF them
! After the installation Of complet,
equipments at the New-Century Clul
Emergency Hospital which had now be
come 10 complete bed equipments boti
Mr.. Weaver and Mr.. Coppage had sur
vey made of all of their employees anC
20 men kept at this work constantly
who in their surveys, found hundreds ol
men, three, four, five and six IN room
some partly attended and great many
others without any attention whatsoever
These patients were taken care OF to tn,
best OF the ability Of those concerned
in the care of the victims of this epidemic
and we consider ourselves quite fortun'
ate upon the safe recovery of SO great q
portion considering the limited facilities
and the limited number of doctors and
trained nurses TO cope with the unusual
situation.
During the occupancy Of the New
Century Club Hospital by the Ship
building Plants sick, there were admit
ted 1876 patients of which l20 were dis
charged as cured, 81 transferred TO the
Country Club for further treatment, tive
10 the Homeopathic Hospital for a con
valescent period; the remaining 80 OF the
original 1876 having died. The expendi-
ture of the Harlan Shipbuilding Cor.
poration together with the Pusey and
Jones Company for the taking care oi
their workers in and out of the New.
Century Club Emergency Hospital
amounts 20 s21 1,37l.39, which although
large sum, is given as an idea OF
the amount of money expended 70 check
and relieve the epidemic and hold down
the number of cases of influenza.
There should not be lost track Of the
fact that while every effort was being
extended TO the alienation of the sui
ferings of the public of the City OF
Wilmington who we're afflicted with the
influenza that il was necessary TO con-
vey both patients and nurses from one
point 20 another; and in this direction,
unstinted praise is due 10 the Della
ware College, for the use of their am
bnlance, as well as the Ambulance Unit
which accompanied this Motor Ambu-
lance and 20 the men who gave unre-
sereyedly Of their time and attention.
Also to the Phoenix Ambulance Corps

cient work in conveying afflicted patients
to and from hospitals. A letter Of thanks
has been sent 70 the various organizations
