Having already seen $75,000 in vested, It would be poor business io drop- the enterprise when! an additional $35,000 would put it on a paying basis, Mr. Kay said. , Expense Not Heavy j "The new 9aem hosnital will be no more expensive than . any other hospital," declared C, A.' Park, secretary of the Institution. Wards in the new hospital wUl be available at prices correspond ing to other hospitals. Individu al rooms, of course, will be, more expensive than the wards, but on orooortlonate increase. Extra service will cost extra, the same as that in other hospitals. Though much new and up io aaie equip ment will be available, bringing the hospital on a par with any other In the country, and better than a malbrltv of them, the costs will probably be slightly less than those of - the Portland hospitals, to Which many Salem people have been taken in the past, owing to the lack of room in the other local institutions." i Drive Starts Monday EarlT Monnav morning and each or the! following three morn ings will see the lieutenants and their workers in action. The city has been divided into districts and evervone will be civen an oppor tunity to subscribe to the cause. It is planned to raise the $3,000 in a. hard drive for; four days ; du ration.
