The

Tranqullle
was
willing
to
pay
the
fare
from

to

thought
that

in-

that
the
local

might
be
able
to
take
care
of
Its
own

training
after

was

suggested
that

Last

The

held
its

regular
business
meeting
last
night.
To
a
large
extent
business
was
of
a
routine
nature.
The
session
lasted
about
an
hour
and
a
half.
President
G.

was
in

welcomed
the

the

F.

With
1937
promising
to
be
an
eventful
year
in
the
affairs
of
the
hospital,
he
hoped
that
the
best
of

would
exist
among
members
of
the
board
and
expressed
confidence
that
the
efforts
of
all
would
be
directed
to,
the
welfare.

tution.
Mr.
MacCallum,
In
reply,
expressed
hope
that
the
same
happy
relations
would
exist
between
the
directors
on
the
board
as
prevailed
outslds.
The
monthly
report
of
J.
R.
Morrison,
fire
chief,
stated
that
the
usual
inspections
had
been
made
of
hospital
and
nurses'
home
which
had
been
found
to
be
in
good
order
from
a
fire
standpoint.
A
letter
from
the
British
Columbia
Hospitals'
Association
enclosed
a
check
for
$27.64,
being
refund
to
the
local
hospital
following
pooling
and
averaging
of
expenses
of
all
delegates
to
the
recent
annual
convention
of
the
Association
In
Victoria.
The
average
expense
of
each
delegate
was
$4.36.
It
was
felt
that
this
small
expenditure
in
sending
H.
W.
Birch,
managing
secretary,
to
the
convention
had
been
well
worth
while.
There
was
a
communication
from
the
Fidelity
Insurance
Co.
(accident
and
liability)
in
reference
to
a
recommendation
by
J.
A.
Hlntoq.
local
Inspector,
that
interlocking
controls
and
electric
contacts
should
be
Installed
in
the
hospital
elevator.
The
company
will
be
advised
that
the
factory
Inspector
has
given
until
February
28,
1938,
for
these
changes
to
be
made
and
that,
meantime,
It
was
possible
a
new
hospital
would
be
built
anyway.
Miss
Jean
Harrison
R.N.,
lady,

in
her

report,
stated'
that
the

had
now

The

the
