$4,000 HON ES NONEXISTENT

Philadelphia (LPA)-Countering
the claims Of the Natl Association
of Home Builders that thousands
of economy homes are being built"
in the price levels that an average
family can afford, the Phila. Hous-
ing Association presents the re-
suits of recent survey. Only 1fo
of one-family homes built in Phil
adelphia in 194S were priced under
$S0C0, and only 1859 between
$4,000 and $4,000. The medium price
is now just under $4,000, an in
crease of $740 over the 1947 fifure.

HORSE AND
BUGGY DAYS

The Buggy's wheels are turning
again, to the merry sound of a jog
log" from the hoofs of the old gray
mare-in case you didn't have a
good driving horse. To the old tim
ers there was something musical
about the sound of horses shod
feet on the road; different sound
for each kind of road There were
occasionally accidents to disturb the
peace of the otherwise serene pa
tron of the horse and buggy; which
reminds me to get back to Mr.. 5. M.
Bloom and the Washington County
Hospital.
This seems indeed an appropriate
time to review the great deeds of this
man, to try to pay tribute for the
good his generosity made possible
for all who lived in this community.
Certainly everyone in our County
knows that Mr. Bloom left sum of
money which, together with inter-
est, amounted to over a million dol
lars, for the purpose of giving to us
the splendid hospital building that
has been serving the community for
the past IA years.
Let's look back a little farther,
and see where the hospital began
In these columns | have told about
temporary hospital quarters, espec-
tally in the barn that stood near the
old Manse now in the City Park, but
that was just temporary, or emer-
gency arrangement. During the
latter part of 1800's, there were in
creaSing accidents, especially on the
railroads. One of the first to start
talking, and working, for a public
hospital was Miss Lucy H. Nimmo.
She actually began fund in a hum
bic way, raising small amounts by
sewing and holding fairs. Then in
the early part of 1904, the Washing
ton County Medical Society began
definite action, by first adopting a
resolution setting forth the need of
a modern hospital in the commun-
ity.
A committee of local doctors was
appointed, for the purpose of secur-
ing a charter These were: v. M.
Reichard, ]. w. Humrichouse, A. S.
Mason, l.. H. Keller, and John Nc
Phearson Scott. At an early meet
ing MIR. George Oswald was elected
presiding officer, and Mr.. r. NJ
Hays, secretary.
The work was carried to the State
Legislature by Washington Coun-
ty man, Senator B. Abner Belts. He
there secured the charter and an
appropriation from the State of So
100000 yearly.
The board of trustees for the first
year, and in part, for many years
to come, was made up of the fol-
lowing: Mr.. S. M. Bloom, who later
gave the hospital such great boost;
John G, Bower; B. Abner Belts:
Edward w. Mealey, another out
standing contributor to the Hospital
fund; James P. Harter; Wilfred H.
McCardell; William P. Lane; M. E.
Cullen; William Newcomer; and
George B. Oswald.
The board of trustees soon To-
Gated a suitable building to "tem-
porarily" house the new hospital,
large building at the corner of
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1949-04-14

North Potomac st. and Playground
Avenue. Here the doors were open
ed on Thursday, October 26, 1905.
In an address before the Medical
Society, Mr.. Mealey made the fol-
lowing remarks, which were also
summarized in the first published
report of the Hospital:
THE Washington County Hos
pitaI was opened for the reception
of patients and when its doors were
thrown open to the public, they
were opened for all time, for the
benefit, comfort, and help to the
people of Hagerstown and Washing
ton County, and for the stranger that
is within our gates"
1t is of special interest to note
that the early trustees had also in
mind the establishment of the
Nurses Training School in connec-
ton with the Hospital, which has
proved to be an institution in itself,
and blessing to the community.
Thus the Hospital started, in the
northern part of the town. And in
1909, the Hospital almost located
permanently in the northern part
of town. 1t was understood that the
location at Potomac and Playground
was only temporary, and so a site
was found and pronounced salts
factorily. DR.. Hurd, of Johns Hop
kins Hospital, had been secured to
arrange the planning of the Hospital.
| do not know just where this site
was located, but the untimely death
of several members of the board of
trustees kept the hospital from be-
ing built there.
Soon after this, the board rec
ognized the fact that they would
have to do something about the
crowded conditions in the Hospital,
so they bought the grounds and
! buildings of the old Kee Mar Col
lege. The Accommodations here were
described as spacious" and indeed
the building served as hospital for
many years. This of course is the
beautiful grounds we know now as
the Hospital grounds, and the build
ing that housed the Seminary for
fifty-nine years, and the Washing
ton County Hospital for twenty
three years, is still standing, and
doing service for the present Hos
pital as offices and supply rooms.
This is the front, as seen from the
front entrance to the present Hos
pital, now almost century old, and
near the end of its life, for this sec
ton is to be replaced in the present
plans
Of course the city soon outgrew
the size of the old Kee Mar Col
lege buildings. So plans went for
ward to enlarge the Hospital, and the
generosity and interest in his fell
low-men of Mr.. S. M Bloom made
it possible to put up a splendid hos
pital, that has served its generation.
The building Mr.. Blooms gift made
possible contained five floors to be
devoted entirely to patients. Two
of these were for medical and sur
gical cases; one for children and
and women; one for private and
semi-private men and women; and
| one for maternity. This still left
the sixth floor for operating rooms.
