VOLUME 87 BOWMANVILLE, ONT., THURSDAY, AUGUST 7th, 1941 Town WiII Likely Net $4 7,000 From Sale 'After Commissions And Fees. The recent sale of the Bownxan- 'ville owned McGili Building in Washington, D.C., was fornxafly ratIfied by the Town Council at a specially convened sesion an Friday night. A statement from fie Washington Loan and Trust Company, which has been fie town's fiscal agent in Washington was read and appraved. The sale, it will be recalled was made at a figure of $115,000. Bow nxanville's sharç was 59 per cent which amounted ta $67,840, but the town wiil receive much less than thla suin. After the fees of the Trust Company, othçr legaL' *were paid a balance of $56,138.10 was coming ta the Town of Baw- manville. From fhia lqd ta be deducated 20 per cent ta D. L. Mc- Carthy K. C. who handled the estate for many years, and who received this percentage by agreement, from ail manes re- ceived from the estate. A res- erve of $1750.00 la heid by the trust company for any usforseen expenditures. and fie Town wil actually receive in the neighbor- hood of $47,000J in cash. This in- cludes a smail suin fram the bal- ance of revenue on hand. It must also be remembered fiat flere was a $20.000 mortgage on the building, created when a ne wheating system was tastal- led a few years ago. This had ta be paid off before the distribu- tion ta the tawn and the other parties entitied ta slhare in the praceeds of the sale. Just what will be done wifl fixe money * has not been fnaaily determined, * but the creation of a staking fund for the payment of debentures has been mooted. Coundil also gave first reading ta a byiaw ta permit the Public Utilities Commission ta borrow money for the erection of a new storage reservoir on fie town's1 water system,. , ~ ~JaW rwifl_ -EIkely rÏee i seond and third readtags at next Monday's regular meeting of council.

War Ecouomy To Bear Heaviy On Prices Baye Speaker At Rotary Club. "We havé a Food Contrai Board, but It cannot contrai what we haven't got and cannat get; I can- not sec ofierwlae than fiat we are in for a graduai and steady rise in the cas! of foodstu!fs," 80 opined Harry Deyman, General Manager o!

Hospital Elevator Fimd Two very weil known natives of Durham County, who over a period of many years-of residence outside of the County have maintained an active interest ifi affairs here have, through the editor of The Stateiman' offered $5,000 toward the cost of instal- ling an elevator at Bowmanvilie Hospital. The total cost of such an installation is estimated at $1%0O00, and work can anly proceed if the additionai $5,000 la raised. An elevator is perhaps the one important convenience needed at the hospital at this ie. On previous occasions we have drawn this need to the attention of the people of Westý Durham wham the Hospital serves. Those who have taken an interest in the hospital are well acquainted with the need, and for the bene- fit of those who are nat fully awàre of the need for an elevator we point out these facts: Under the present arrangement ail serious cases in which the patient is unable ta waik, mxust be carried up the main stairs ta the second floor on a stretcher. The operatng theatre is locat- ed on this floor and this means that any first floor patients, or accident victims who are fartunate enough to have need of the operatmng room, must be carried up thîs way by. the nurses. It must be obvicus to everyone that this method of conveyance is dangerous. Especiaily is this su of cases of fractures or broken bones, where the patient must be kept as rigid as possible. This problem would be completely solved by the erection of an elev- In giving thought ta tii need, it might be well for the average citizen ta realize that the hospitai belongs ta every- one in the community, and that any citizen mightbe in need of hospitalization and the use of fixe elevator at any time. The mag- nanimous gift of these former Durham residents paves fixe way for the work being carried out at this time and it is hoped that the public wiil be generaus in its response to this appeai. Let'no one think they cannot have a share in this work. Smail donations wiil be just as well as laige donations, and al wiil be publicly acknowiedged in the press, if so desired. We realize that there have been mtany appeals for funds in recent manths, but we have fixe assurancé of the government that tixere wilU be no further national -appeals during the current year. The War Services campaign, Which will inclwie fixe Red Cross will flot be inaugurated until neXt spring. It is unlikely that there wrnl be another large boan launched jhis year, sa that citizens may feel free to give ta this worthy cause now. The need is quite apparent, the willingness of this couple to help sets a fine ex- ample, and ail that is needed ta crawn the campaign with succes is the hearty co-operation of th" people of West Durham. Donations may be« sent to The Statesman or direct to C. H. Mason, Secretary-Treasurer of the Hospital Board, Bowman- ville.
