Christmas offerings to the hospital
still continue to come in. The list is
growing anil everyone has a good
word to say f Dr the cause. The recep
tion room and morgue must be built
for they are absDlute necessities. The
fund is being raised for that purpose.
In New Brunswick yesterday a sick
man was found at the railroad station.
Suppose such thing a should happen
here and he should be hurried to the
hospital. Snppose he should have
some contagious disease. There is no
room at the hospitnl where he could
be taken until the nature of his illness
is learned. This is running a great
risk for friends and relatives of every
citizen in Perth Amboy who use the
hospital. The fund is being raised to
remove this danger. No fair or festi
vals should be neoessary. The fund
is a call for voluntary contributions.
Following is the list up to date:

Union, in regards to the drilling of ,
