THE BRADBURY MEMORIAL HosPI-
TAI A deed was recorded in the Waldo
County Registry of Deeds last Friday
transferring what is known as the Cot
trell house on High street at the head of
Commercial streat, from Alma Emma
Bradbury to DR.. Eugene Dals Tapley of
this city. 1t was a gift to DR.. Tapley in
appreciation of what he has been to the
family of the donor, for many years and
in particular his devotion and skill in
Mr. Bradbury's recent and critical illness.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Bradbury feel that his
life was saved on several occasions by
DR.. Tapley's care. DR.. Tapley would
consent to receive the gift only as trust
to revert in case of his death as Belfast
and Waldo county institution and at his
suggestion it is to be called the BRAD
bury Memorial Hospital" His work has
entirely outgrown his present hospital at
his residence and Mrs. Bradbury knowing
that he might leave the city was only too
glad to give her birthplace and childhood
home to keep him here. The hospital
will be incorporated and conducted on
business principles. DR.. Tapley will be
in charge of its surgical branch and DR..
Foster C. Small, close friend of Mr..
and Mrs. Bradbury, will be in charge OF
the medical branch. The hospital will be
open to any and all Belfast and Waldo
county physicians, who care to avail
themselves of its use. Norman II. White
of Brooklne, Mass, and Nosthport a
close friend of DR.. Tapley, has given him
an X Ray outfit, which will cost about
So, 900 and has also placed $4,000 more on
a checking account in the Waldo Trust
Company for his use in the work of the
hospital Five Belfast citizens have
pledged $500 each annually, other friends
have asked the privilege to furnish ten
of the rooms and an account has been
opened and free bed has been practical
ly assured. On learning of DR.. Tapley's /
enterprise Messrs. A. E. French, A. w.
Joslin and B. F. Tripp of Boston, all con
nected with the recent work of the Wal
do Trust Company, presented him with |
their checks of $50 EACH Plans for re-
modelling and adding to the house have
been begun. An addition the same size
of the main building will be built in the
rear in place of the barn and sheds and
the present ell will be raised to connect
them. There will be twenty-five beds,
surgical, medical, obstetrical and X-Ray !
departments, also a lavatory, an eleva-
tor and all modern improvements. Work
will begin in April and will be completed
by the middle of July.
