Patrons Annual Meeting

The Hazelton Hospital held the an-
nual meeting of Its patrons on Monday
night Inst. For twenty-six years this
‘institution as been holding annual

: Incetings and it will no doubt hold very
many more. The putrons of the Hazel-
ton Hospital have three members on

duties of those xt the annual meeting
is to elect those representatives, and al-
xo to eleet a chivir. for the annual meet-
ing. Another feature of the patron’s
sinmual gathering ‘is that the secretary-
treasurer of the hospital aiid the board
of directars present an anual report
giving a. very complete survey of the
work of the preceeding year and of the
eondition of the finances,

heen a contributor daring the past year
of $5.00 or more, As the Hazelton hos-
pital ig highly regarded in this district
practically all he people are patrons]
and have the privilege of voting. .-

On Monday night, unfortunately, the
weather was very cold and only one in
a family eomld Jeave the stoking long
enough to take in the meeting, unless
an outsider could be secured to attend
to the fires.. But to off-set that bad
feature, the secretary announced that
the annual report would shortly be pub-
lished and that a copy would be sent to
‘ench member. .

The secretary's. report showed that |
‘the business: ‘of the hospital’ for ‘fhe last
year was the. greatest ever done,. al-
thouzh only “Slightly mor ethan the
year before, The receipts showed a
slight falling off, but this was ac-
eounted for by some moneys earned:
and due from government sources but
not yet received. Then.there was an
epidemic or two last year svhich took
some af the nurses off their work and
meant a considerable increase in the,

s

for those short periods. On the whole
the finnnees are in a very satisfactory
state. The Total receipts were some-

overbead costs due to seenving MUTses | *

thing over $27, 000 while the total ex-
penditures were around $30,000. As
to the assets and labilities, the form-
er exceed the latter by something over
$72,000. When the annual report is
prinfed u fuller statement will appear
in these columns;

The Woman’s Auxiliary to the Hez-

elton Hospital presented’ a report of
its activities. Mis. T. H. Wright, the
secretary, puinted: out that during the
year $053 had been raised and $8058.80
had been expended, by far the greater
part of ‘the. money going into supplies
for the hospital and comforts for the
patients. There was balance ut the
end of the year of $144.20. All the
ladies of Hazelton tire now members
and a good many from outside — the
town, The total membership for the
year was 60. Mrs. Wright also refer-
red. to the great pleasure it had heen
for -her and the other members io do
the, work. -
: Mrs. T. BR, Tomlinson, president, tl-
so made a verbal report in which she
xeferred to the loyal support that the
ladies ‘had givén and she hoped’ that
in future that support would be just
as hearty and as unanimous.

of Wm. Grant and BB. It. Cox. - ,

aA promise was received early in the
year, from the Minister of Mines to
investigate the desirabiliy of institut-
ing and ore sampling works at Prince
Rupert, but so far nothing has been
heard of his dicision in the matter.

An excelllent iecture by a profes-
sor of the B. ©. University was given |
under the nuspiees of the Board in

coming spring.

A good deal of publicity work. has
been done during the yenr and sever-

lication. . :
The Americon Consul at. Prinee

information regarding the possibilit-

was decided to support the proposal

The attention of the postal anthor-

The municipal elections “jn Prince

than the usual amount of interest, A
good deal of unfavorable criticism had
been passed out to the old counell and
especially the board of works, by two
mayoralty candidates. The voting
public of Prince Rupert aid uot take
that criticism very seriously. C. H,
Orme, who was chiefly criticised as u
member of the. board of works, was el-
ected: muyor with: practically the same
number of votes that the other two
candidates got. Ald, Brown, another ©
