The new HOSPITAL
MEETING CALLED TO CONSIDER
THE ENTERPRISE.

There will be held tomorrow even
ing a meeting of the new hospital
committee and citizens with Chair
man III. III. Holdridge at the offices
of the Madison Merchants associa-
ton to make arrangements for fin
ishing the campaign for hospital
funds. 1t is the intention to con-
struct a $4,000 building on the
grounds selected last fall by the
building site committee. Half OF
that amount has already been raised
and those back of this undertaking
are quite anxious to have the entire
amount in hand. This campaign will
be vigorously pushed in order thai
building operations may begin at the
earliest possible moment next spring.
This Is a project of vital interest
to every citizen and 1t is hoped thai
there will be a large number present
at the association rooms. No solicit
tation will be made during hat SEES
sion, but plans will be formulated for
a thorough canvas a little later.
Considered from every standpoint
the proposed new hospital will be a
creditable asset Of the city. The
need is apparent to all and the spe-
c~ifications call for a building of sub
'stantial construction. This, together
with the fact of a beautiful and con-
veniently located site, must certainly
arouse the pride of our citizens to
such an extent that they will assist
In financing the undertaking.

Influenza SITUATION
ADDITIONAL HOSPITAL ROOM TO
BE SECURED.

A special meeting of the city COM
mission and the board of education
met at the high school auditorium at
3 o'clock yesterday to confer regard
ing the epidemic situation. 1t was
decided that the schools remain open,
but that parents report cases of in
~fluenza that developed at home.
Children from homes where influenza
and pneumonia r present will be
denied admission to their classes.
The opinion seemed to hold that the
epidemic Is sure to u its course
irrespective of bans on schools and
public gatherings. What Is needed
now is to take care OF the patients
who come down with the disease.
The emergency hospital Is crowded
and more room must be found some
where in the city. Before adjourning
both bodies acquiesced in the APP
pointment of Commissioners Henkin
and Schmidt who will try to secure
new quarters for the many patients
that cannot be accommodated at the
present temporary hospital. The
proposition for the use of the Ma
sonic temple will be considered and
IL secured will beiquite ample as an
extension to the emergency hospital
system: Another meeting was sug-
gested for today at which some de-
cision will be reached regarding ad-
ditional quarters for the care and
treatment of those people who can
not possibly be given room at the old
Mansion house.

viii come railroad and shipping legis-

oil leasing and a variety of other meas
ures important for the industrial life
of the nation will be enacted. Not one
of these promises has been fulfilled,
nor has there been serious ehort
made to fulfil one of them. The Re
