THE INCREASE IN SUB
SCRIPTION PRICE

by the announcement now APP
pearing in the Evening Capital
i is shown that the subscription
price will be raised beginning
January, l. 1920 The sound
reason for this step is, we think
perfectly apparent but it may not
be amiss to make further refer
ence to it in these columns.
There is not the least difficulty
in choosing between raising the
subscription price OF the paper to
a fair figure, on the one hand, and
lowering the quality of the pro-
duction, on the other. Yet that
is precisely the choice that had
to be made in this case. The
present standard of efficiency OF
the Evening Capital does not
have to be lowered, and viii not
be. TO this we are committed
first and foremost.

STATE PAID HOSPITAL
FOR FREE PATIENTS,
NO FUND SENT BACK

The article appearing in the Capital
some days ago, relatiy. 10 the Emer-
gency Hospital having to turn back the
money TO the State, has created mis-
apprehension as to the facts that the
hospital still needs money.
The turning back Of this money only
referred to the fact OF its not being
earned under the law, has no reference
TO the fact that the hospital needs
money. They need it Just as badly as
ever.
When interviewed on this matter the
hospital treasurer, Mrs Edgar Basil.
said: The State appropriates $4,000
a year to the hospital il we earn it
That means there must be enough free
patients at SLIGO per day to amount 10
the States appropriation.
This year we earned through our
free patients $5,094.6O The hospital
is Obliged to make a report every
quarter TO the State. and for this rca-
son at the last annual meeting, on the
18th OF this month, we changed the
date for the annual meeting to Octo-
Der, instead OF December, so that the
superintendent and treasurer will not
be required to make out two reports in
the same quarter.
The State does not actually pay
over the money to the hospital until it
is earned by the number OF free pa
tients, commensurate with the amount,
so that the wrong impression was
given by the heading of the article in
the Capital, Hospital Turns Back
OVER $1,000 The fact is we had not
received the money then to turn any
back. but we had not earned the
States appropriation by an amount
practically equivalent to that sum
Some people only read headlines,
continued Mrs. Basil. the hospital
treasurer. "and the headline in the
Capital conveyed the impression that
the hospital had more money than it
needs The article, however, stated
the facts in the case"
