URGE HOSPITAL
At MEETING
Want Institution at Lower End
of island and Organize to
Get Same
By SpecsaI correspondent.

OH NHEf " #f1VbNtAEtAs
TOTTENVILLE, Mar. IAN en-
thusiastic meeting of representative
citizens of the fifth ward of the bor-
ough of Richmond was held at the
Tottenville National Bank last night
to consider the matter of establishing
a hospital on this end of the island.
There were twenty-five present at the
gathering which included all of the
physicians of this end of the island,
all of whom expressed their views of
being heartily in favor of the project.
The meeting was called to order by
Ira j. Horton, who afterward was
made chairman. William ]. Dempsey
was chosen the temporary secretary.
Mr.. Horton CAV a brief outline OF
why the meeting had been called and
then introduced DR.. Mcdonald Pegs,
of Pleasant Plains, who gave facts
and figures as gathered as to the cost
of maintenance of a thirty bed hos
pital. DIR. Pegs in his statement gave
figures as to the cost of running u
hospital with a matron, two graduate
nurses, four in training, an orderly
and ambulance driver, cook, ladn-
dress and cleaner at $409 a month or
$4,S08 a year. This together with o
for fifteen patients, dressings n
medicines and incidental expenses
the hospital could be run on about
$1l,0GD a year. To offset this he ex-
PlstlI1tu lildL III ClNN vi y wi
allows $500 a year for an ambu-
lance $3.50 for ward patients and
s2,10a for each surgical patient.
This would mean that alone would
bring in SIP, 900. With the increase
to twenty patients this would be S22.-
900 a year. Adolph Weiss, superin-
tendent of the T~ottenville Copper
Company, followed as the next speak
en- and said his concern would give
the project their support and pledges
81, 500 to the hospital and if the sum
of $50, 600 was raised they would
double the amount and make 1t So
900. Mr.. Hassell, of the Battery Park
Bank of Manhattan, said he would
give 81, 900 and Rev. j. +. Malloy also
said that he would donate 500 to
start the hospital. Others by their
remarks pledged their hearty support
to the proposition. DIR. Walker Wash
tngton, DR.. r. w. Renwick. DIR. r.. II.
Meyers, DIR. David Coleman, DIR. F.
, w. Schwerd C spoke and said a
hospital was a good thing and should
be located on this end of the island.
After all in the had given
their views in the matter Ira j. Hor-
ton was elected the permanent chair
man, Gilbert s. Barnes vice chairman
ard Charles A. Marshall secretary. A
committee was hen named of repre-
sentatives OF the entire var to take
up the matter and to report back to a
later meeting that may be called. The
committee includes Adolph Weiss, DIR.
Coleman n Stuart l.. Ritz of Tot
tenville; w. MacWinant, Rossville;
Albert Killmeyer, Kreischerville;
Charles p. Cole, Joseph Seguine and

This committee will meet at the bank

FORCED 70 OBSERVE SABBATH
Church Attendance, Until Comparative
Iy Recent Times, Was compuI-.
sorry In Great Britain.

Numerous laws In this country, Can
ada and Great Britain forbid various
acts OF work and play on Sunday, but
not since the lapse of the "blue laws"
of colonial days have Americans been
forced by legislation to 60 to church
on the Sabbath, an exchange says. In
England, however, 1t was not until the
middle Of the last century, during the
reign Of Queen Victoria, that all pen
alties for nonattendance at religious
services were abolished. Some unusual
incidents attended the enforcement Of
the regulations, particularly upon the
Hebrews.
They were not released from the pro-
visions Of the law until 1871 and multi
tudes Of them were prosecuted for in
sisting upon observing their OWE Sab
bath. In the Hhlrtesnth century, 1t Is
recorded, q Jew Of Tewkesbury fell In
to q ewe on q Saturday. Although
almost submerged, he would not permit
himself to be drawn out, believing that
to do so would be to violate the sanct-
ty Of the holy day. On the following
morning he was quite ready to be re-
moved from his perilous plight. but the
authorities, out Of reverence for the
Christian Sabbath, would not permit
the unfortunate man to be rescued I'M
til after sunrise on Monday, when he
was found to be dead.
As late as 1880 there were per-
sons In English prisons whose only
crime was refusal to attend divine serv-
ice. One Of them vas q young man
who had been convicted at the insti-
cation Of his own mother, who appear
ed against him. In 1917 Sir Montague
Burgoyns was hailed into court to ex-
plain why he had neglected his rellg-
ieus duties. Rigid Sunday observance
In England began during the reign Of
Edgar, in the tenth century, when the
Sabbath day wal ordained to be kept
holy from three o'clock on Saturday
afternoon until sunrise on Monday.
The most innocent actions were con
demnSi, and death was the extreme
penalty for continued violation Of the
Law. About three centuries ago parlia-
nent passed 4 law imposing a fine Of
a shilling for remaining away from
church on Sunday, unless some good
excuse was forthcoming. This act re-
NAMED in effect until comparatively
recent times, and inability or unwilling
ness to pay the zoe resulted in a pris-
on sentence.

Ask for Lower Fare


BIZ Srecfal Corvessondent
TOTTENVILLE, March 1.IBor-
ough President Van Name has asked
the Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment to compel the management of
the Port Richmond and Bergen Point
Ferry Company to reduce its fare to
three cents. and if that is not reason
able to reduce it to five cents.
His letter is as follows: d.
February &c, 1919"
Gentlemen:
announcement was made on
Thursday, February goth, by the Pub
lie Service Corporation of New Jersey
that on that date a six cent fare
would be charged on the ferry operat-
ing between Port Richmond and Ba-
yonne, an increase of one cent over
the old rate. On this ferry some years
ago, the fare was five cents, later 1t
was three cents, and later on it was
restored to five cents. 1t was about
three years ago, when it was three
cents. Three cents is ample, because
the travel Is large, and the route Is
covered in two minutes.
1.-THE patrons of the ferry and the
business men of Port Richmond are
indignant at this arbitrary action oil
the Public Service Corporation of New
Jersey, the owners of the ferry, and
operating under the name of the Port
Richmond and Bergen Point Ferry
Company.
''The ferry must be operated pursu-
ant to a contract of franchise with the
City of New York, or with the Village
of Port Richmond, its predecessor, and
I request that action be taken on the
part of the City of New York to COM
pei the management of the ferry tc
reduce the fare to what IL was three
years ago., to wit: three cents.
"If three cents should seem unrea-
sonably low, after a proper examina-
ton of the operation of the fran
chise, then let it be made not greater
than five cents"
VERY respectfully,
CALVIN ID. NAME,
President of the Borough of Rich
mond."
