HOSPITAL AL AS SP T SN, MEETS The annual meeting of the Clinton Public hospital Association was held in the council chamber on Friday ev- ening last, with only a very small mat.,' tendance in addition to the members of the board and those most niter- ested. Miss Winnifretl O'NeiI, priesident, was in the chair and the reports were received and adopted. These reports were very encouraging, ex- cept that daring the past few months many patients have had to be refuse edadnission owing to lack of accom- modation. Dr, Shaw wasthe chief speaker. Fre stressed the great value of, hav- ing a hospital hi which people may have expert medical and surgical at- tention,•without having to go to the larger outside centres. And also stressed the rieedt of more space in the Clinton hospital. During the past weeks a number of applicants have had to be turned away, some of them cases which needed expert at- tention, because there was no ae, commodation for then. He said a new addition was urgently needed and all that was lacking was funds.
