n. E. ASKS $4,000
FOR new CASUALTY
HOSPITAL and SITE
Already Has $4,000 Be.
queathed by Thomas
w. Smith.

Immediate need of a new ca5n-
atty hospital is being emphasized
by many residents of the Northeast
section. who declare the present
hospital, which has been occupied
Tor the past sixteen years. Is too
small for present needs.
A new hospital has been talked of
for several years. and the late
Thomas W. Smith, who for a long
time was president of the board of
directors, left $4,000 for a new
building. An additional $4,000 Is
needed before any benefit can be OBJ
tained from the sum held in trust
The present hospital Is located
at Seventh and Massachusetts, ave
nue. northeast. 1t Is a three-story
structure and contains sixty beds.
Since the institution cares for per-
sons injured or sick in the North
east and Southeast as well as part Of
Maryland. the wards have been filled
to capacity on numerous occasions.
The need of a new building is not
only to meet the demands of pres
ent service. II is pointed out. but for
the enlargement of the usefuln ass
of the institution by furnishing nd
ulbiOndl accommodations
Residents of the Northeast are
urging the erection of a fve-story
structure at the corner of Eighth
street and Massachusetts, avenue
northeast. as a plot of ground at
that corner now belongs to the IN
stitution.
A new building would give 100
additional beds. which are badly
needed.
No ambulance service was main
tained following its organization
and II was not until the hospital
moved to its present location that
ambulance service was started. The
management serves without COM
pensation.
The board of directors is COM
posed of Evan II. Tucker. president: /:
Tracy L. Jeffords, vice president;
Joseph A. Herbert. jr., secretary,
and Daniel A. Edwards. treasurer
