M. McAULIFF PRESIDENT

Hospital Board Accepts Generous Offer from Boethian Circle

[Welland Telegraph, 14 November 1911]

              For the purpose of electing officers for the coming year, the annual meeting of the Hospital Board was held in the town hall on Friday afternoon. The retiring president, R. Cooper, occupied the chair.

             The officers elected were:

             President-M. McAuliff

             Vice-President-E. Morris, Fonthill

             Secretary-C.N. Webber

             Treasurer-F.A. Lount

             A committee was appointed to strike the standing committees.

             An offer was received from the Boethian Circle to enclose the upper part of the hospital verandah with glass. The generous offer was gratefully accepted. The Building Committee was instructed to accept the tender of the Builders’ Lumber & Supply Co. for the carrying out of the work.

             The question of some one endowing the hospital was brought up and the men here considered it worth agitating. The proposition was jokingly put up to J.F. Gross, who arrived late. Mr Gross contemplated the sallies made at his expense in silence as he filled his pipe. Then he began to talk politics, after which the discussion ended.
