The building program is still
awaiting completed plans which
have been under discussion by the
Medical Staff and the Building
Committee. There is no doubt that
when these plans are presented for
approval there will be some addi-
tiOnal changes incorporated in the
final plans for the actual con-
structiOn. 1t is very difficult and
costly to correct the errors in
planning a building project of this
type and if mistakes are made
they will have to be lived with by
succeeding generations. Plutaroh
said: ITO make no mistakes is not
in the power of man; but from
their errors and mistakes the wise
and good learn wisdom for the fu-
ture.'
AS a community therefore we
and our children's children will be
required to live with some of our
mistakes if we make them in such
a way that corrections cannot be
made without unreasonable cost
Adding to the statement of the
building fund treasurer 1 wish to
make it definitely clear to all sub
scribers and contributors to the
fund that not a penny of the fund
has been used for the operating
expenses of the hospital. Since De-
cember 81, 1947, further payments
have been received amounting to
slightly over $2,600.O0
