R. Berry and at this meeting some very radical changes were made in the organization. Some months aero a sneo ial committee consisting of Emslie Nicholson, chairman, R. P. Morgan and Lewis M. Rice, was appointed to make a thorough investigation of the situation and to report at the March meetings, basing the recommendations made upon such information as inquiry brought. The report of the committee was adopted unanimously, and is as follows: The annual meeting of the Union Hospital association was held at the office of Dr. R. R. Berry at 8 o'clock p. jn., March 23, 1916, due notice having been given all the members by publication and in writing. Mr. Allan Nicholson was elected chairman of the meeting. On motion put and carried, the reading of the minutes of the last meeting was dispensed with. Neither the president nor treas-1 urer being present, no annual reports were submitted by either of these gentlemen : The special committee, consisting of Emslie Nicholson, R. P. Morgan and L. M. Rice, appointed at the meeting on January 7, 1916, to formulate a plan and make recommendations for the building of a hospital in Union* made the following report: TTT_ ' -" * we, your committee appointed to - make recommendations to the March J I annual meeting of the Hospital assoHospital be incorporated. 2. We recommend that the capital stock be $16,000. 3. We further recommend that the par value of each share be $100, (anybody having paid less than $100 into the present fund can secure a share by paying the additional amount necessary to bring the subscription up to $100). 4. We recommend that due notice be published of the change in the form of organization and calling on anybody not willing to allow their subscription to stand, nor willing to increase said subscription to $100, that such parties call on the treasurer within thirty days from time of published notice for said money, or to be thereafter barred. 5. If the foregoing recommendations be adopted, we further suggest that a committee of three be appointed to secure a commission, and that hooks of subscription be opened. f). When a total of Ten Thousand Dollars in subscriptions, including the funds already in hand, be subscribed in bona fide pledges, the incorporators be then called together and an organization perfected. 7. We further recommend that in the operation of the hospital a committee of ladies be appointed to take charge of the conduct of the hospital subject to the direction of the Board of Directors of the corporation. 8. A committee of three be appointed to draw up by-laws for the organization is further recommended. 0. We further recommend that the Hoard of Directors consist of not more than five members chosen from trie stockholders. In conclusion, your committee begs to say that we have made a thorough investigation of the hospitals located ! ?lt (laffn^V- r.rnAnwnrttl u rwl I Qtnmne and we have based our recommendations largely upon the information thus secured. Each of these institutions is in a nature of a joint stock company. They are located in about the same size cities as Union. They are each upon a paying basis and have been from the start. The cost in each case for hospital and equipment is around Twenty Thousand Dollars." Mr. Emslie Nicholson read the above report as a whole and it was then considered by paragraphs, each of which was adopted unanimously, and after all had been adopted, motion was made, seconded and carried that the report as a whole be adopted, and this was unanimously done. It was moved and carried that Emslie Nicholson, Ft. P. Morgan and I,. M. Rice be appointed to get the charter and to open the books of subscription for the new Hospital association according to their recommendations. The following resolution was made by Mr, Emslie Nicholson and was ASS0C1AT1 5EEN REOF Joint Stock Company r on Purely Business < ommittee Report nanimously. h b n unanimously carried: o "Resolved, That the Union Hospital b association hereby agrees to and does b transfer all its available assets to the a mew corporation unanimously proposed c at the annual meeting held at Union, 0 S.

MANY DIEE 102 MISSING, INCH CANS?COULD: Wireless Injured When tain Says Ship Und< How Casual London, March 2(5.?Although there is still some uncertainty as to the oss of life in the disaster to the crosschannel steamer Sussex last Friday, there no longer is any doubt that thi deaths list is much larger than the ^arly advices indicated. The latest figures compiled in London show a.many as 102 persons missing, including five Americans. The Sussex had 430 persons aboard [>f which the following have been accounted for: Landed at Dover, 72 landed at Boulogne, 250; dead at Boulogne, 0; dead at Dover, 3. The list of missing may be slightl> diminished by the fact that some ol the passengers who landed continue! their journey without reporting theii safety. The casualties occurred in tw< ways: First, in the explosion, wher the ship was struck, and second, bj drowning, when two life boats cap sized. Capt. Mouffett, together with sev eral of the officers and a number ol the passengers, asserts that the shij undoubtedly was torpedoed. Most o these witnesses declare they saw the torpedo when it was a distance o about 100 yards. Unfortunately thej say there was not time enough t< avoid it .although the captain made ai attempt to save his vessel by a quid manoeuvre. Prevented Calls for Help. The explosion killed or woundei several men in the engine room an< some occupants of the saloon directlj above it. Injury to the wireless appa ratus prevented calls for help and i c MAYOR'S COURT IS KEPT BUSY City Authorities Seek to Suppress Illicit Sale of Liquor?Many Cases Being Tried.
