Mayor Miller introduced members
of the publicity committee and out
lined the committee’s activities dur
ing the past year. He estimated the
total cost of the new wing, including
the boiler room at $550,000, and said
that of this figure, approximately
$200,000 was to be raised locally.

Pointing out that there were "one

was the intention of board of calling
the architect with the idea of reduc

the meeting with the architect had

“We are pretty nearly ready to go

hope in the near future to get going
and ask for tenders.”
The report of the Ladies’ Auxiliary
of the hospital, read by Mrs. Hinde,
showed total receipts of
for the year and a balance
of $1,913.37.

Missionary Society was held in the

tion, “By this high sign shall 'all men
know if ye are Christian—If ye love
one another’’. Mrs. J. Mitchell led in

by the secretary, Mrs. Wm. Keith and

Surcharge Questioned ‘
In the question period which fol
lowed the election, C. R. Coultes
asked the chairman if it would be
possible for the hospital to change
its name as an indication that it was
now a district hospital, rather than
a Wingham hospital. He also asked
what the duties of the publicity com
mittee would consist of, now that
90% of the money had been raised,
and what action had been taken
about the rider placed on the Huron
county griant, stipulating that no sur
charge could be made by the hos
pital.
The chairman replied that it would
be impossible to change the name of
the hospital except by special dis
pensation of the government,
garding the publicity committee,
suggested that
