The following is the Secretary's an- nual Report of the year's work: - To the President and Members of The. Ladies' Auxiliary of the Wingham General Hospital; , In giving a report of the principal work 'of the Auxiliary during the past year, 1 may say there are many minor details that it is not necessary to en- umerate, As to the number of meetings held. this year. There were .10 regular. meetings, with an average attendance of ten members preserve. And while we have a large list of members, we have at present only 38 who .this year paid :the annual fee of 50c each. Were these fees all paid in, it would add considerable to our finances. Within the past year the Ladies Aux- iliary have supplied many of the re- quirements of the Hospital, such as bed linen, towels, rugs, linoleumn' dishes, glass ware, many kitchen ,uten- sils and sundries As it is necessary from time to time.to devise ways and. means whereby we may raise money for the carrying on of our, work. We have not given an � lc c e t' e t y pub! or so 1,a1 enf r aimm n s this year in the Armories, as we have done in former times, as owing to the war, all kinds of social affairs of this nature have been eliminated. But id Nov. 19.17, the new wing of the Hospi- tal was formerly opened to the -public, and a Reception was held in the after- noon, and the graduating exercises were held in the evening in the dining room of the 'Hospital. There were a great many visitors came to look over the building and do- nations amounting to ,$135.00 were taken in et the door during the after- noon and evening, and ,$ 5o was realized on a knitted shawl donated by Mrs. W. R. Dyer, on which chances were sold. Dr, Margaret Calder, also donated a sum of money with which a handsome clock was purchased and on which chances' were sold amounting to the sum of $45.80. .A web pleased patient presented Miss Matthews, our Superintendent, with -a donation of $50 with which, to purchase some necessary articles for ilia Hospital. There was -also a gift of $27 from nurses who had trained in ottr Hospi- tal. In the month of December, there was an afternoon tea given by Mrs. W. F. Dnigman and Mrs, John Wilson„ at which the stun of $10 evae taken in. Mrs. Richard Vanstone gave an At Horne at her residence in January and $21.50 was the amount realized. . °Then at our March meeting we held a cup and saucer shower and 1$ very pretty cups and saucers shower, and a donation of $1.50 in money. Mrs. J. A, McLean very kindly of- fered her home ,one afternoon in April for a sewing meeting at which we made up` one do2en night shirts, Mr. J. J. Cunningham; gave the use of one of the Western Foundry build- ings, to the Huron Skating Club, to be used for,ee rink, with the understand'. ing that the proceeds be given to the Ladies Auxiliary. We received a check from the Treasurer of the Huron Skating 'Club for $165,22. Regarding the expenditure of monies in connection with the work of our Auxiliary, t will just mention a few in- stances that will give. this tneeting some idea of what the Auxiliary does to keep furnish supplies for the up -keep of ;the Hospital. This year the purchases Consisted of Blankets, sheeting, piltow cotton, towells, table linens, cotton for gowns, rugs. curtain goods, and so forth. The larger amounts of money spent being $8o for blankets, $82 for sheeting and pillow c6iton and table linens, $40 for rugs and linoleum, $20 for curtain goods, $115 for furniture for the misses' sitting room, besides buying all the dishes, glassware, granite ware and many other sundries. Also the Gold Medals for the graduating nur- ses. Now, I have only spoken of the tars ger amounts of money spent, but we have had many other. bills, . ranging from $2 and $3, up to $10, From this summary you will see -that we are able to carry -on a very good work and report success to rour en- deavoursn a d when cydu tremelnber, Ladies, that we as an Auxiliary have not appealed to the public to help us this year, we have had to look for our financial` assistance from the people's kindness of heart and interest in the Hospital.

Had it not been for the epidemic of Spanish Influenza from which We could not hope to escape, the municipality would have been practically free from contagious and infectious diseases. I am not in possession of information sufficient to state the numerical extent of the epidemic but I should judge that there have been a few hundred caseswithin the town. Sorry to report a number of deaths therefrom, usually front some serious complications, -as soon as conditions became somewhat alarming the Board of Health met at once and closed all places of assemblage and had distri- buted throughout the town copies of information and instructions with re- ference to the so called influenza. Schools we're closed for about 5 weeks and on account of en apparent fresh outbreak had again to be closed. Many of the homes whether attacked by the disease or „]ot were upder al- most constantfunction, while nearly all were disinfected after .Having. had e sh eice k . Ass A' free supply 1 of the o vaccine prepare, by the Provincial Board of Health was received for ad ministrittion, On account of the disagreeable spring weather, the back yards and pre - Mises were perhaps not cleaned up as early as usual but in due time every- thing was put in good order. - The Sanitary Inspector and myself made regular visits of inspection to the -slaughter houses and any nuisances reported there were promptly attended to by him and myself. On securing premises acceptable to the Board' of Health Harry Wordsman was permitted to do business as a junk dealer under certain conditions, within the town limits. Respectively submitted by Your obedient servant, R. L. STEWART, M. O. H. Mr. Frank Howson again appeared before the council in regard to the water backing up on them in the mill dam. He stated that although the supt. Mr. Groves and himself had looked, for the water levels they were unable to locate them and he suggested that the town secure the services of a surveyor to find the stones or marks and if the town were wrong they pay for his services and if liowsons were wrong they pay for his services. Their ar- gument called for them to get this water service and with the back water coming in on them it was practically no use to them. Movecdby Reeve Tipling and 'Councillor Mitchell that Engineer Bolton be employed to locate the water levels and that be be paid by whichever party is wrong. -Carried. Mr. R, Vanstone appeared -before the council on behalf of the William Davies Co. asking for a refund of taxes on the Salt works which they paid under protest. He explained that the total assessment of the salt works was $2,700 and show the assessment had been raised in one year without a dol- lar of improveinents being put on the place, to $8,800. The Davies Com- pany claimed/they did not receive a notice of their taxes in time to put in an appeal at the proper time. He stated that the assessed value must be based on the selling value and not at a cost or cost to rebuild. The pro- perty was sold to Mr, Young some years ago for about $7,000 and the Wm. Davies Co. purchased it for $12,- 000 but several thousand dollars had been expended on the drilling of a well which was located outside of the town. Assessor MCLean was present and stated most emphatically that his as- sessment Cif the 'building was in his mind fair. Councillors Mitchell, Fells, end Gurney thought they should stand by the .decisihn of their assessor. Mr. Mitchell pointed out that the Co, would not sell salt to the people of -this vic- inity and he therefore took thrt stand that they had no right to rebate. The Mayor and the assessor differed great- ly over the assessment and Mr. McLean was in no Way backward in telling the Mayor that he was in the wrong. A heated discussion took place on the matter, Mr. Vanstone explained that for three weeks the Davies Co, were unable to make enough salt for their nwn use and that was the only time when they refused to sell salt. Moved by Couircillers Mitchell and Fells that this couneil do not 'grant the Davies Co. and refund of their taxes for the yearl19t8. Moved in amendment by Councillors Spotton and Currie that this council (Continued on page 8.) StQ $ Suburiptiona: $1.50 per year ql Eal,E%kr i a\..f.•.i I r tlt!Ut, if t• ft DO yovR I Mas Shopping a.
