HOSPITAL Haileybury Hospital plans a new, two story building adjacent to te present hospital, for a 50 bed ward for incurable patients. At the council meeting Monday night, a letter was read from the hospital authorities, stating the cost at about $6,500 per bed. $3,500 per bed will be paid for by the province, and the hospital suggested that the town might like to pay $3,000 for a bed. This would 'be reserved for Hailey- bury paitents, and the town would have first call on it. In their letter, the hospital authorities pointed out that the incurable ward is at present serving an area from North Bay to Hearst, and the present 25 bed ward cannot handle the burden. The town council agreed that it was good news, and promised further consideration of the re- quest for a grant.

Mayor Cooke warned that the towns ~financial expert, Coun- cilior Dan Millar was opposed to digging into the reserves, put Mr. Millar could not be pre- sent to present his yiews. Aiter some discussion the council de- cided to go along with the Mun icipal board, One reason~. for tneir haste was that the con- tractor has started work in Haileybury and the town tathers had to do something to tind some money.

Councillor N.. Fleming brought up the dog question, and most councillors dived tor cover. Mr. Cooke wanted the Haileyburians to take a stand, and it was force- fully intimated to him that the Haileyburians are scared stiff of the dog question. Dr. W. C. Arnold thought the best way to reduce the number of dogs would be to increase the license fee. He suggested $25 for males, and $100 for females. Most councillors thought it a little high, and Dr. Arnold said that he wasn't serious, but tho- ught that something should be done. Mr. Cooke said. that children did as much damage to gardens as do dogs, and Mr. Fleming suggestes that the solution might be to license chilren as well as dogs.
