She was a mem- ber of the Presbyterian Church. Four children survive: Mrs. Grace W. Wilson, Brantford; Andrew B. Mit- chell, Wingham; Mrs. Mary P. Bur- gess, Hagersville and Marion J. Mit- chell, Toronto. A brother, J. T. Scott, of Chicago, also survives and seven grandchildren. One son, Scott, pre- deceased her. Pallbearers at the funeral were J. A. Carr, T. A. Currie, Murray Johnson, Wilfred D. McKague, Roy Porter and E, C, Thomson. Of the total estimated cost of the new wing, the hospital board has un- dertaken to assume responsibility for the construction of the new boiler room and laundry, at an approximate cost of $110,000. The provincial govern- ment has promised grants of $2,000 per bed, and the federal government has offered $1,500 per bed in the new wing. A grant of $35,000 has been passed by the Huron County Council. "All these grants are contingent on the fact that the hospital building pro- gram starts this year, 1053"; continues the letter. "It is quite certain that if the expansion is delayed past this year, a major portion of these grants will not be available." A balance of $200,000 is still left to be raised, and the hospital committee feels that the only fair way of raising this money is on a pro-rata basis. The letter points out that the town of Wingham and the Township of Morris have already taken the lead in the scheme by approving their share. Other councils will be asked to contri- bute according to the proportion of their use of the hospital over the past five years. Meetings are being arranged with the various councils at Which they will be asked by a representative of the hospital to contribute their share. The letter is being sent to each coun- cillor to acquaint him with the propo- sition before the council is approached directly. It is hoped that the financing of the hospital will be approved by the councils at their August meeting.
