Solicit Funds.
IRWIN G.. BURTON IS
HEAD OF PROJECT
Present Vehicle Was Pre-
sented To Emergency
Hospital by P. S. DUPONT

The members of the Milford Ro-
tary Club, meeting Monday evening
of this week at the New Hotel Wind
sOr, by a unanimous vote pledged
themselves TO sponsor a movement
to raise funds to purchase a new
ambulance for the Milford Memorial
Hospital
The present vehicle has been in
use for nearly twelve years, and was
bought and presented to what was
then the Milford Emergency Hospi-
tai by Pierre S. DUPONT, of Whining
ton.
Since the new hospital was built in
the spring of 1898, the need for a
new ambulance has been stressed by
hospital authorities. 1t was pointed
out that the size of the territory,
which is now being served by the
new hospital has increased greatly
and also that the present vehicle be-
ing operated is antiquated.
The Rotarians have had this pro-
ject under advisement since early
summer, and recently made a survey
of the city, finding that the majority
OF the residents were interested in
procuring a modern ambulance for
the hospital.
1t is estimated a new ambulance
will cost approximately S2,500.
The following committee has been
appointed by President Frank Elton
to conduct the fund raising cam
paign; Irwin G. Burton, chairman:
Vice President Edward C. Evans,

which was conducted successfully by

obtain funds for a new ambulance.
While plans are still in the en-
bryo stage. the committee in charge
is expected to launch the campaign
