$100,000.00 Fund
To New Hospital
CHARLESTON -Following ex-,
'tended discussion, upon recom-;
mendation cf its ways and means
committee, City Council of Char-[
leston this week voted to appropriate
$100,000.00 towards
construction of a new plant for
the Hospital and Training School
for Nurses, it, being understood
that an identical sum is to
given also by the County Council
of Charleston
Mayor William G. Morrison, in
announcing the decision .said that
erection of a new plant for "the)
hospital. _locatedr .on - Gannon
street, is absolutely essential to
the healh and well-being of the
community. Motion for granting
the money was made by alder-1
man Alfred O. Halsey who had
at first objected on the grounds,
he said, the county ought'to un-|
derwrite the cost and not the;
city. Learning a similar siim was
to l>o fur it i sheil by the county^?
he withdrew his objection and
made the motion for the appro-'
priation.
Officials said that athird sum
of $100,000.00 is also expected
from state and privately donated
funds, and $300^00(XC0 'from a
federal government agency.
Dr. T. Carr McFall, a member
of -the State Mtedical Advisory j
Board, is (medical advisor (and
superintendent for the -hospital? whose
old plant and facilities;
have so deteriorated as to have
cost it state recognition for its
work. Unless a new plant is
built and more modern and en-;
larged facilities installed?all of

nOw announced funds?the hisboriq
institution would have

Betuming from military ser-|_
vic e a few years ago, Dr. MoFallj
s$t himself to the task of saving
the hospital and raising the (
funds necessary for its continued
operation.
