Day for the furnace fund Of the
Pattie A Clay Inhrmary. It is
vital necessity to install new
heating system i'll this worthy in
stitution as the cid plant which
was never adequate, completely
collapsed last winter and had to
{ be consigned to the junk heap.
The City Council and the Fiscal
Court have always co-operated
with the Inhrnary and were gen
erous in their contribution for a
new furnace but a thousand dol
lars is still required to meet the
cost of the new heating plant,
special flue and other expenses in
cident to its installation.
1t had come to the point where
it was a question of heating the
building properly or closing its
idoors; the public well knows the
great good dispensed at this In
firmary and should see to it that
the institution is able to carry
on"
