Mr. Nolen eaid that he and Dr.

pltal board, had discussed for some
time the beet plan that might be
worked out for enlarging the hi vital,
and that they had come to the Von!
cluslon that the bond election was the
wisest policy to follow. "We discussed
for a time the advisabilty of mortgag-
ing the entire hospital property, and
securing money in thin way to build
the addition. We finally came to the
conclusion that auch a plan would not

Mayor W. D; Yett was smilingly
noncommittal this morning with refer-
ence to Mr. Avery s plan. “I'll just let
everyone form his own opinion as to
Mr. Avery’s plan, without venturing
mine,” stated the mayor.
Commissioner C. N. Avery defended
his plan in no uncertain words, and
declared his intention of fighting for
its realisation. “We are going to spend
the money of the voters of the city,
and representative citizens should be
called in to advise with us. I feel
that the school board and the Cham-
ber of Commerce water committee
should be consulted. The reason why
the voters have such little confidence
in the council is because the council I
has refused to take the voters into I
their confidence on vital matters.”
Mr. Avery stated that he anticipated
strong opposition, but that he would I
"fight it out to the finish.”

in the Fifty-third District Court Fri-
day morning.
The public safety commissioner thin
morning expressed the opinion that
the name of the hospital would be
changed. “Patients receive just as
good medical attention and nursing in o
the City Hospital as they do in any i,
1 other hospital of the city. Many resj-
i dents feel, however, that because the
city cares for a large number of char.
Ity cases that the accommodations
and care are not of the best. we
■hall probably not eliminate this feel-
ing until we change the name of th.

lieve the changing of the name will

The charge was frankly made by Mr.

members of the school board and of

take of the protection, made possibie
by the firm which makes up the big
difference between the cost to the em-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31. — The

making substantial progress in its con-
nideration of the adminstrative pro’
visions of the treasury"s tax bill but
in the opinion of members u cannot
complete it« work on these features
during the two weeks recess of con.
gress over the holidays.
Experts are being consulted to de-
termine the probable effects of the
proposed changes to explain them from
the treasury standpoint. Whether the
committee will take up the tax re-
duction suggestions of Secretary Mel-
low after completing its study of the
administrative features or will side-
track the measure for consideration of
a soldiers’ bonus bill, will ba deter-
mined by a conference of house Re-
publicans after the recess.
Th* secretary's recommendations
were criticised in the senate yester.
day by Senator Simmons of North
Carolina, ranking Democrat of the fi-
nance committee, who declared the
mindrity members of the committee
would vote to reduce taxes "but not
in the way Mr. Mellon and the mij-
lionaires and the profiteers went to
take them off."
"The outlook for unification is dis-
tinctly favorable. The plan proposed
is not intended to settle everything
at once. Rather it proposes a method
whereby the two churches may come
together under one geheral confer-
ence and there work out thetr prob-
- lems and plans as one body. The next
“ step must be taken by our own
general conference, then by that of
the church -south, after which it will
become a referendum to the ministry
and laity of both churches*
