Ten regular meetings have been
held whose average attendance reg
isters an advance of more than one
point. On these occasions we have by
unanimous vote continued the usual
appropriations for our fixed obliga
tions and favorably responded to all
requests from the house committee to
supply funds for necessary addition.-.,
replacements or renovations of the
Hospital equipment. We have also
purchased a new American flag. But
by far the most Important transaction
of the year was the constitution by
vote, of a special committee consist
ing of Madam President Leach and
two vice-presidents, Mrs. Daniels of
Putnam and Miss Marot of Thompson,
to confer with the executive commit
tee of the Hospital, relative to the
purchase of a new, modern ambulance
for Hospital use. which by all accounts
was sorely needed. After consultation
this committee presented an exhaust
ive report which after careful consid
eration was accepted. Its provisions
being embodied In these actions:
Voted—That the Woman’s Board
favors giving Its assistance In the
purchase of a new ambulance. Also
voted, to appropriate the sum of $2,
000 towards such purchase (under cer
tain conditions). These actions were
acceptable to the executive commit
tee who signed a contract with a local
firm for the delivery of a modern mo
tor ambulance fully equipped for ser
vice, the executive committee agree
ing to supply an extra amount of mon
ey If needed. We are delighted to
know the ambulance has been deliv
ered In town, la entirely satisfactory,
and has already been tested.
