Sir: .As there have been quite a number of rumors circulated regarding the action of the Scott Memorial Hospi- tal board! ospi-tal'board, which board was appointed to'adtnit-ester, the final „bequeathed to the Town of Seaforth for` •hb'spital purposes by the late )William Scott, our board are of the opinion that the eublje have ar,ht to n towt the facts connection with this whole af- fair. We do not' intend at this time to deal with the negotiations we have Frov Heti) Secretary's had with the i department as we are still negotiat- ing with that Department;' and' it would be very Unfair 'to publish any of our ^ correspondence with them until Our negotiations' are finally closed. • !However, we do feel that the cor- respondence cor- res codence that has passed 'between eei the Seaforth Memorial Hospital board and our board, should now be laid before the public. ' Mr. McLennan has apparently been trying to aseume the role of a martyr in the discus- sion regarding our effort to clean up the hospital situation in our town. It has been reported to us that he has been circulating a story to the effect that our object is to put him on 'the road;. indeed that charge was made by him against us In the pres- ence of Honorable Mr. 'Goldie, Pro- vincial Secretary for the Province of Ontario. 'Vire' do ,not think that there is any comment necessary on this point, other than to publish the correspond - mice, . Which -speaks 5or itself. How- ever, we might explain as briefly es possible our position, •Early, in • the year 1924 the highest of $40,000.00 which' as stated before was left to the town for hospital pur- poses, was paid over to our town; in order to comply withthe sugges- tions in the, will, we at once took•the necessary steps to appoint a board of "directors that would be legally con- stituted to do this. Our Council 'immediately sent our town solicitor to Toronto to talk the matter over with the officials in. the Department; to obtain .their advice in reference to what procedure they, would advise us to take in "older • tb have our 'board legally, cogstituted every way. Ther;officials iii the De- partment expressed themselves as be- ing; highly" pleased ,that we had con- sulted. them on-sulted'them in this matter; and ad- vised us to procure a charter and operate under 'Letters Patent. We acted on their advice and our council then a appointed <a board of directors. These directors then held a meeting and took the necessary steps to make application forthe charter. We do not intend to review the ef- forts that. were made to prevent us from obtaining the charter as that involves our dealings and our cor- respondence with the .'Department, However, after some four or five months' effort on our part, we were finally mewled our charter, which charter is now in our possession. This charter was issued to us October 15; 1924. • The charter is very :broad in its wording. IIt points out very clearly that our board was incorporated for. the following purposes and objects, that is to say, (a) To establish an hospital in or, near the said Town of Seaforth, and to maintain the same, to erect such addition or additions thereto as from time to .time may be regarded as ex- pedient, etc. Of course the charter, which is a very lengthy article, goes on to recite the purposes and the objects for which it was issued, 'which it is not at all necessary to give in detail, other than tb; point out that this char- ter does give us the authority to es- tablish and to maintain a hospital m our town. We think that every citizen who has given this question any serious con- sideration, will appreciate the fact that before we could do any business at all, it was quite necessary' for us to obtain -this charter, and the - efforts that were put forth to prevent us from obtaining it were ' certainly ridieulou s. After we had obtained our char- ter and had completed our organiza- tion, we told the 'Honorable Mr. Goldie, as our board was then in a position to legally administer your i fund, we' were not Press ng otir tight to proceed to establish our hospital, As Mr. McLennan had gone into the :hospital 'business, we felt that as far is we were concerned he ought to have the right to sink or swim on his own business venture. Our attitude ap- Our board •would not consider' pur- chasing - the present hospital 'building for many reasons, all of 'which were fully discussed by our members. We therefore asked for tenders for'build- ings suitable for hospital 'purposes and , out of the number submitted` to us, we purchased what we believe to be the most suitable building, situated - in the most''suitable "location of. ftny building submitted to us. After Pur- chasingthis building we immediately: appoined a commit ee to meet al Sim - Liar Liar commnittee front the Seaforth Me- morial e mo ial Hospital ;B d with VI C3* s til o1r w t a v ew of P bringing about an adjustment that woulld be reasonable and- fair to' all parties concerned. These 'committees met and we had a full and frank dis- cession regarding the 'hospital altua- eon in Seaforth. We asked the repre- sentatives from the Seaforth Mettior- i l 1H 1 •B a Hospital and to take'ti the A o A question of what they would require from us for their equipment'and good will. During our discussion we told them Chat we had purchased a build- ing and we would thank. them to give this matter their consideration at' as early a date as possible. On June'16, 1927, we received the 'following letter: •Dr. R. R. Ross, Seaforth, Dear Sir,—Pursuant to our jgint conference of a week ago I regret to inform you that it has been :im- ppossib'le to arrange a meeting of the board of this hospital. We understand you desire us' to mention the -)trice at which we would be willing to ,sell our equip- ment and goodwill. but after dis- cussion with a humber of directors we •find the concensds of opinion contrary to such a course, the 'be- lief being that the board of the Scott Hospital should make the!,of- fer of the price they are willing to NY. We might add that the price pre-, viously submitted to you has -not yet been officially •accepted, or declined, but as •we understand the figures were not satisfactory to your tboerd, it isnot unreasonable to expect'. the counter proposal to come from you. We wish. to assure you that this attitude is adopted in the 'friendliest spirit and beg to hope that yoL1 will, ateept it- as each. 'Sincerely yiiiz'Ps, 1Seaforbli Memorial 'Hospital, John MacTavish, Pres.: R. M. Jones, Sec,-Treas. (Note.—We night' explain that the figures that are referred to, iii the e above letter were thefigures es that the Seaforth Memorial Hospital Board asked for their building and equip- ment which - was $10,000, which figures were considered. too high by our board.)- On June 22, 1927, our Board held a meeting to dealewith the above let- ter, and as a result of that 'meeting the following letter was addressed to, the Seaforth 'Memorial ,board. Seaforth, June 22, 1927. Seaforth Memorial 'Hospital Board, 'Gentlemen, -At a '.meeting of the Scott. 'Memorial Hospital Board held in the 'Council Chamber, June '16th, -your ietter of June 16th was received in which you state that the opinion of your board is that we should make yoti an offer for your equipment and good will, rather than .that you ask a price. Your letter was •taken into very Careful consideration by this board, and by resolution, the Secretary was instructed to ask, your board to furnish us with an inventory of your present equipment and also the price of your heating •plant if that be included in • your equip- ment; in order that this board may Ivaye some basis and information in making an offer to your board in an effort to bring about an amic- able settlement of the hospital situation. I might say that our next regu- lar meeting is on the 2nd 'Tuesday in July; and if you will kindly fur- nish us with this information on or before that date you will oblige,1 R. R.

The following from the Niagara Falls Review gives particulars of the accident in .which Mr. William Hay and little daughter Jean lost their lives Sunday night: (William Hay, 53, and his daughter, Jean. 4, were instantly killed on their way home from church Sunday night by a' speeding automobile, which nev- er stopped but put on speed and get away. The little girl's left arm was torn off and found some distance away among a quantity of windshield gleans, The broken glass and possible blood- stains on the bonnet of the car are the only clues upon which the Pao- vinttcial police an work. Mr. Hey was on his way home front • Stamford United "Church atbout 8,45, accompan- ied by his little daughter 'Jean, Miss Lsobel Robertson and a :sister-in-law of Mr. Hay. The sidewalk was slop- py and the party was walking at the side of the road when a car, said to have been travelling at high specd came along from behind, travelling west, the same way as the people,. and struck Mr. Hay and the little girl. The -car drove at such a high rate of speed that no description of the car or its number could be taken. The injured people, who were al- most at the Hay home, were carried there by friends. Life was found to be extinct in both cases. Reeve C. F. Monroe, who lives close to the Hay home, announced that he will ask the council to offer a substantial reward for the arrest of the driver of the car which killed Mr. Hay and his little daughter. 'Subsequent search of the Thorold Stone road in the vicinity of theac- dident, by Provincial Constables Wil- kinson and Priest, disclosed a broken bracket for a visor, which fits either, a 'Pontiac or a Chevrolet car; and a large quantity of windshield and head- light glass. There are three pools of thirtyfeet apart, blood a distance of p indicating that the body was dragged about ninety feet, Up to the present. time the police have been unable to get any trace of the car.
