STATE PM) HOSPITAL
FOR FREE PATIENTS,
NO FUND SENE BACK
The article appearing in the Capital
some days ago, relativ., to the Emer
gency Hospital having to turn back the
money to the State, has created a mis
apprehension as to the facta that tin
hospital still needs money.
The turning back of this money only
referred to the fact of its not being
earned under the law, has no reference
to the fact that the hospital needs
money. They need as badly as
ever.
I When interviewed on this matter the
hospital treasurer, Mrs. Edgar Basil,
said: “The State appropriates SB,OOO
a year to the hospital if we earn it
That means there must be enough free
patients at SI.OO per day to amount to
the State's appropriation.
“This year we earned through our
free patients $.0,094.60. The hospital i
is obliged to make a report every
‘quarter to the State, and for this rea-
I son at the lust annual meeting, on tin
I lf.th of this month, we changed the
F date for the annual meeting to Oeto- (
! her, instead of December, so that the
' superintendent and treasurer will not
be required to make out two reports in i
the same quarter.
“The State does not actually pay
I over the money to the hospital until it
| is earned by the number of free pa
tients, commensurate with the amount,
so that the wrong impression was
given by the heading of the article in
the Capital, 'Hospital Turns Hack j
OVEK $2.01*0.* . The fact is we had not
received the money then to turn any
back, but we had not ‘earned’ the
State’s appropriation by an amount
practically equivalent to that sum.’
“Some people only read headlines, ’’
continued Mrs. Basil, the hospital!
'treasurer, "and the headline in the
Capital conveyed the impression that
the hospital had more money than it
• needs. The article, however, stated!
the facts in the ease.’’

depth as to bear residents of the op

been making a short cut across the
ice.
The frozen creek has been a thor

THE INCREASE IN SUB
SCRIPTION PRICE
By the announcement now ap
pearing in the Evening Capital
* t is shown that the subscription
: pnee will be raised beginning
I January, 1. 1020. The sound
reason for this step is we think,
i perfectly apparent but it may not
be amiss to make further refer
, ence to it in these columns.
There j s not the least difficulty
in choosing between raising the
| subscription price of the paper to
la fair figure, on the one hand, and
lowering the quality of the pro
duction, on the other. Yet that
is precisely the choice that had
to be made in this case. The
present standard of efficiency of
tlie Evening Capital does not
| have to be lowered, will not
be. To this we are committed
first and foremost.
