ANNOUNCEMENT
LAST EVENING
Directors Consider Plan for
Increasing Size of
Hospital

II a meeting Of the directors of the
Brattlcboro Memorial hospital last eve
ming Mr.. and Mrs. George L. Dunham
announced gift Of $4,000 to the hos
pital corporation in addition to the S15,-
600 they had previously given toward
the erection of a nurses home as me-
mortal for their daughter. Marion. This
splendid gift will make possible the i'm
mediate erection of nurses home,
something the hospital has badly needed
for long time, and it is the expecta-
ton of the directors that work on the
new structure viii be started this fall.
In connection with the Dunham gift
the directors took up the necessity of en-
larging the hospital itself, not only to
accommodate the increasing number of
patients but to enable increased efficiency
In the way of operation and mainten-
ance.
IN the opinion of the directors, a hos
pital superior TO any in this locality is
within reach of Brattleboro at rela-
lively small cost. 1t is understood that
richards VI. Bradley, representing the
Thompson Fund trustees, is heartily in
sympathy with the project of hospital
enlargement and has intimated that ad-
ditional revenue may be forthcoming
addition to this, however. it would be
necessary TO secure some local contri-
buttons. and that is a phase of the mat
ter which the hospital directors say viii
be explained more in detail as the pro-
ject progresses.
The question of increasing the size and
efficiency of the Memorial hospital has
been under consideration for more than
II year. not only by the directors but
by a board of trade committee composed
of H. G. Rice. T. L. Hildreth and c.. A.
Bnyden. which was appointed to reach
an amicable understanding between the
town and the Thompson trustees on all
matters pertaining to the funds admin
iStration in Brattleboro. This commit
tee has had number of conferences
with Mr. Bradley and hopes TO report
soon on a definite plan of hospital en-
larsement that win have the approval
alike of the Thompson trustees the hos
pital directors the committee and the
public at large.

PRESIDENT HARDING
Executive Discloses His Attitude on
Many important Questions
Won't Approve Bonus Bill.

Washington, June 3.-The attitude
of the Harding administration on i'm
portant questions of the day was dis
closed at the White House In the first
conference in some weeks between
the President and newspaper CORE
spondents.
Mr.. Harding Indicated emphatfcally
that he will not approve the McCum-
Der bonus bill. soon to be reported out
by the senate finance committee. 1t
was indicated that the President will
insist upon sales tax to finance the
bonus.
Formal denial was made that the
President intends to abolish" the
shipping board unless congress passes
ship subsidy legislation. Only con-
gress could act to abolish the board,
1t was explained. It was officially
stated, however, that the President Is
extremely anxious that the subsidy
be passed before adjournment. Con-
gress, 1t was stated, has been cOnsid-
ering matters of much less impor-
lance, and should give attention 20
this. The President does not want
the shipping business to go on an
other year under present conditions.
Unless congress acts quickly to put
the merchant marine on a sound f1nan-
cial basis, the President believes that
the government will lose the services
Of shipping board officials who are
helping the administration at great
personal sacrifice. The responsibility
for such loss, and resultant disor-
ganization of the shipping business,
the President is unwilling personally
should accept the responsibility If 1t
persists in ignoring the behests Of the
executive for an adequate ship SUBJ
