O. Weber, Chairman of K.â€" W. Hospital Trust, States â€" That Government Would Pay $12,000 Yearly Towards Cost. Reports presented at the regular meeting of the K.â€"W. Hospital Comâ€" mission last week revealed the fact that during the past month there were more hospital days than in any previous month in the history of the institution, the total number of days put in by all patients being 1818. Chairman Weber, in response to a query of Mayor Ratz, said that the commission would gladly pass upon the unpaid accounts of 1926 of St. Mary‘s Hospital which have not been reported on by the commission and which members of the council thought should ‘be disposed of imâ€" mediately. Chairman Weber also took occa-] sion to express disappointment over the lack of interest shown in its efforts to furnish the city with a new hospital. The commission had submitted proposals to various local organizations with respect to assurâ€" ing a new hospital but no action had resulted. If the projegt were gong ahead with, he said, they would reâ€" ceive the grants from the governâ€" ment on })auents at both the hoaâ€"‘ pital proper and the new lsolation1 Hospital which would have amountâ€" ed to 50c a day and the commission‘ would have received at least $12,000 a year from the government. Mr. Weber thought they could erect a hospital on their own land for $100,000 and in ten years they would have received more than this amount from the government. He also nointed out that sooner or later the government will repeal the law under which it makes grants to new hospitals. Although the commission had endeavored to do its best in the interests of the institution, the lack of action with reference to a new hospital had been discouraging. Viceâ€"chairman Greb also emphasized the desirability of taking advantage of the government grant to new hosâ€" pitals while both the chairman and viceâ€"chairman pointed out that Watâ€" erloo had supported the proposal to erect aâ€"newâ€"bailding.~ Mayor Brill of Waterloo was hopeful of ultimate action while Mayor Ratz of Kitchâ€" ener commended the commission on the good work done. Pour Oil on Train and Set it on Fire MEXICAN BANDITS â€" SET FIRE TO TRAIN: ESTIMATED DEAD 100 Fiftyâ€"one bodies and thirtyâ€"two inâ€" jured persons had been‘ taken on April 21 from charred coaches of a passenger train burned by bandits in a holdup in the state of Jalisco. Unofficial estimates indicated that the total dead might reach 100. The military escort of fifty which was on the train when it was held up fought until all were dead or wounded. From five to seven Ameriâ€" cans are reported to have been on the train, but none of them were injured. A statement issued from the presiâ€" dential office charged _ "Catholic rebels" with responsibility for the attack, asserting that three priests were among the leaders. It said that secretary of war Amaro had ordered "the required measures for an enerâ€" getic pursuit of the priests who received their instructions from the episcopate of Mexico City." " Last week representatives of the County Council went over several |mnnty roads where it will be necesâ€" 'ury to make purcharses in order to .lwldon the highway from 40 to 66 feet.

In response to a query he said Kitchener would hav/e a store. He was here to look over several possible locations for the store. Dr. Manion, on arrival, was met by W. G.

PREDICT FEDERAL 2 VICTORY NEXT CAMPAIGN With Premier Ferguson in the role of chief speaker and guest of honor, more than 1,000 Conservatives from all parts of the province crowded the Crystal Room of the King Edward Hotel, Toronto, Jast week to cele brate last December‘s victory in the province and to look forward to a like victory in the Federal field when opportunity will next present itself. The event was notable for the extent to which it dwelt upon the theme of Canadianism. The three speakers of the evening were Preâ€" mier Ferguson, Hon. Hugh Guthrie, leader of the Conservative opposiâ€" tion at Ottawa, and Hbn. w. H. Price, K.C., attorneyâ€"general of the province. Premier Ferguson analyzed the problems of Confederation as those connected vgllh transpontation, imâ€" migration and fiscal policy, all of them being bound up with the broad consideration of Canadian unity and prosperity. He saw the same probâ€" lems as existing today, and he urged that vigorous application of Conâ€" servative policies would again result in consideration of national unity and prosperity being notably served. The prime minister put forward again his case for subsidies for transportation in order that the west and the east might trade toâ€" gether, urged also that immigration be put upon a selective basis and careful ‘attention be given to the environment in which it should be planted, and argued finally for the need for protection not only for manufacturing, but also for agricul tural and labor interests. in the past session at Ottawa, and contended that party prestige had been enhanced by it. Hon. Mr. Price spoke on the broad question of Canadian progress since Confederation. Hon. Mr. Guthrie reviewed the work ‘of the Conservative opposition If the federal leadership question was prominent in the minds of those attending the banquet it secured no expression or manifestation during the course of the function. The one open reference to it came from Pre mier Ferguson when he referred to Hon. Mr. Guthrie as the person who would probably lead the Conservaâ€" tive forces to victory in the next federal campaign.
