CITY WATER SUPPLY

Meeting of the Board of

Hospital Directors,

At the monthly meeting of the

hospital, held yesterday after-
noon, a letter from the provin-
cial secretary, Hon. H. E, Young,
was read expressing his ac-
knowledgment and thanks for the
gold key which had been present-
ed to him by the hospital board
as a souvenir of the opening of
the new wing of the hospital, at
which ceremony he had _ offici-

‘ated.

Tenders for the hospital laun-
dry work for the next six months
from the Northern Launary and
the Pioneer Laundry were opened,
the Northern Laundry being
awarded the contraci. ‘The
Northern Laundry offered a flat
rate of $60 a month for the gen-
eral work, $6.50 for the laundry
of the graduate nurses and $4.50
for that of the nurses in train-
ing. The Pioneer Laundry of-
fered ‘a flat rate of $75 a month
on general work, $6.50 for grad-
uate work and $4.50 for under-
graduates.

The employment of an extra
maid by the house committee, at
a salary of 830 per month, was
approved,

A letter from C, H, Handasyde
was read, concerning the in-
stallation of three Pasteur filters.
O. H. Nelson pointed out that the
water was good but that any or-
dinary drinking water®™ might be
improved by filteration. He did
not approve of uncalled-for con-
demnation of the water in order
to promote the sale of the filter.
The water was pure, save for the
presence of a liltle harmless
vegetable matter. In any case
the connection wilh Shawatlans

dred dollars.

fhe question of more kitehen
accommodation was raised, The
engineer of the hospita! sug-
gested that reom for this might
be obtained by the removal of the

building, which was now un-
hecessary as the water supply

RITCHIE DEFEATS RIVERS FOR —
LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

TWENTY ROUND BOUT ENDED
DELIVERED

IN ELEVENTH BY KNOCKOUT

BY RITCHIE—BETTING TEN TO EIGHT

ON THE CHAMPION

San Francisco, July 5—-The
battle for the lightweight cham-
picuship yesterday afternoon
drew an immense crowd. The
purse offered is said to have
been the largest ever offered in
California and this no doubt as-
sisted the advertising. Willie
Ritchie was the favorite,- inas-
much as he was not only the
holder of the title but was fight-
ing in his own town. But the
little Mexican had many suppor-
ters. The odds were ten to
eight on Ritchie a couple of days
ago and were maintained until
the men ment in the ring when
even betting soon became the
rule.

The men stepped into the ring
punctually at 1.30, each in the
pink of condition. For the first
two or three rounds of the 20-
round bout both men appeared
to be sparring cautiously when
the little Mexican began to force
the fighting and the fourth
round was decidedly in his favor.
Then Wilite began to get in his
best work, but ite hoxers seemed
to be pretty evenly matched up

 

 

in the middle of the eleventh
when Ritchie managed to land
the knockout and was given the
decision.

There was much interest in
the measurements of the rival
lightweights, which are here an-
nounced:
