HOSPITAL
Catholic Sisters to Erect a Fine
Building For Hospital Services

At public meeting called by the
commercial club at their rooms last
Friday evening, Rev. ]. J. O'Neil
presented the plans for the Sisters
hospital which is to be built here
this year. The estimated cost of
the building is $4,000. and the
plans and specifications show it to
be q fine appearing three story
structure with basement 92x4O in
size, and arranged and built Of
brick such as is in the church and
school buildings equipped in the
most modern style for hospital work
The structure will accommodate
thirty-fve beds for patrons. The
site chosen for the building is the
block land facing railroad avenue
on the east side Of town and about
a block east from the church build
ings already erected. This proper
ty we understand has already been
secured for title, including the
Schultz house, which after the erec-
tion Of the hospital may be re-
moved. The site is q very accepta-
BILE one, and could hardly be inn
proved upon for the purpose for
which it is to be used.
The proposition presented to the
commercial club was for it to assist
in the raising of q subscription of
$4,000 for the project, (which in its
completion will represent an outlay
of $4,000. OF the SIS, 900 to be
raised by the people here, it was
suggested that one-third Of the
amount or SIS, be raised by the
citizens of of Milbank. $4,000 by
the members of the St. Lawrence
church and $4,000 by the Protestant
community outside Of the city, the
subscriptions to be all $50 individ-
ual subscriptions, neither more or
less than this amount to be asked
from any one.
While there has been considerab le
in the way Of collections and contri
buttons for war purposes, and it
would appear that the present was
hardly a good time to ask for SUBJ
scriptions, yet a hospital is one OF
the principal needs Of Milbank, a
need so noticeable and we'll recog-
nized that we believe there should
be little difficulty in securing the
necessity subscriptions to guarantee
the enterprise and secure for the
city this much needed institution.
The catholic people in addition to
what they are pledged to raise for
the hospital have been assessed from
$50 to $500 each for fund to pay
up the indebtedness of some $4,000
which stands against the present
church property church, school
and priests residence. Rev. O'Neil
stated in his presentation of the
matter that after the buildings
were up, the matter Of maintenance
would be entirely in the hands Of
the Sisters there would be no fur
ther solicitation either for main
tanence or for future buildings
when additions we're necessary.

Red Gross AppOrtiOnInent.
Raised BY Township and Village As
Sessment at Enthusiastic NeetlnQ.

A rousing red cross meeting
was held 1T the opera house last
Sunday afternoon. The meet
ing was called by the county
chairman, A. A. Blomquist, and
to which ALL members of the
township boards and village
councils were specially invited.
The splendid spirit that is ami
mating our people In all the war
work was shown by the fact that
every township and village in
the county excepting one was
represented ct the meeting by
one or more members of the civil
boards. The township that was
unavoidably not represented,
has since sent in it's pledge. Ev
cry township as it was called
pledged the amount asked Of it
and q number of these raised
on the amount asked, more than
doubling it in some instances.
Milbank's share, according to
assessed valuation, the basis
upon which the assessment was
made, would have been $3.50, but
500 was pledged. Big Stone
City asked to have it's share
raised from 5000 to $3.50; Marvin
asked to be raised from $l5 to
SIS. In: half an hour the several
towns and townships had over.
subscribed the amount asked
from the county - IS, 00O-by
more than $500, with one of the
townships to be heard from.
Senator G S. Amsden presid.
ed as chairman of the meeting,
and read the law enacted by the
late legislature authorizing coun
ty or township and city boards
to provide by taxation for red
cross and other war needs and
expenses. This mode of gather
ing these aeeded funds equalizes
the financial burden, 50 that it
does not fall entirely upon those
of liberal spirit.
One of the features of the
meeting was splendid talk on
red cross war work by Hon.
John 7 Kean, now of MiLneap-
oils, but a former resident and
at one time lietenant governor OF
this state.
The apportionment to the sew
eral townships is as follows:

constant streams OF trucks moving TO
