rive and be in readiness for ervice in emergency cases, or in others when required. It will be available in time of need to convey the5 sick and in jureds to hospitals in Providence, Nor wicf and New London. and possibly be the means of saving lives. In the past persons injured have been heid for hours awaiting railroad transpor- tation for hos\tal treatment and deaths haev resulted through the un- avoidable delay. WithN;, this aTnbu- lance at hand the people are remind ed again of the actual need for hos pital in Westerly. There is sub ! stantial nucleus for a hospital given by the late Mrs. William Roxsey and some people in Westerly believe 1t IS about time for a campaign to raise fund for the establishment and the maintenance of a hospital.|
 This object could be accomplished provided the project is properly start ed. and it has been proposed that the Westerly Board of Trade, take this important matter under consideration. Westerly is noted for going. over the ton in all drives for worthy purposes, and the people undoubtedly would willingly make substantial contrlbu- tions for this laudable and worthy To- cal enterprise. 5}
