week, with. son'e $9 Members in
attendance, Thla was a droll' in
attendance'from. previous years, aud
due to the inclement Weather
which prevailed at the tinie.
The greeting was under the
ehairroariship of President' H. C.
MacLean, who ill .his remarks stat-
ed that the ime.Pital had seen its
largest year to •date„ The hospital
is now in a new phase, the eliair-
man said, .as the new government
insurance plan is making many
changes ,necessary in the financing
of the hospital. At the Moment
the hoipital• office staff does not
have tee much informatien te go
on, •
Mr, Me,eLean said that expenses
are higker- as wages and salariea
.are up acrd, the staff has 'been en-
larged and •Is on eight-hoer duty.
It takes, a great deal of money to
operate, :but the finances .ire now
on a sound foundation,
•He,went on to say tbat the build-
ing .committee will have to think
about another addition to the hos-
pital as it is nOW operating tip to
tag caliaeity and the new hospi-
tal insurance will likely further
aggravate thia problem, The lied-
pital is now overcrowded arid if
this overcrowding becomee any
Mote aerious it will be necessary to
have extra, accommodation.
