THE WARDEN; Mr. Taylor Parkin, Warden of the County, made a short but pleasing .Speech. "The Hospital,” he; said. I “is 'a very worthy and well-managed institution '-and deserves the support of all." He believed it was doing ‘a. ‘good work. He felt a deep interest in the work, and he believed that all the members of the County Coun- cil were with him in haVing the in~ terests of the Hospital at heart. The grant this year from the county was not quite as'large as last year, but this was not because the County Council did not appreciate and feel kindly towards. the institution, and. if further help were needed it was understood that more would be forthcoming. Mr. Thomas Stewart :â€" I have lit- tle to say to-nlght. There is little that can be added to what has al- ready been said in regard to the effi- ciency and usefulness of the Hospit- al.

The Chairman expressed himself as in entire sympathy with the sugges- tions of Drs. White and Blanchard. He believed that in the best inter- ests of the institution. it was im- perative that all able to pay should do so.
