New Members Elected

Between 30 and 25 persons at~
tended the annual meeting of the
Norwalk Hospital Association at
the hospital last evening. John J.
Cax'anagh. vice-president of the
Board of Directors acted as chair-
man of the. meeting.
The following persons were elect-
ed to the board of directors for a
form of three ycars: Mrs. Louis A.
Lehmalcr. \\'m. C. Beur. E. E. Gor-
Mrs.
ham. and Samuel Ioodncr.
Lehmtu‘er was elected to fill the
place formerly occupied by Dr.
David Spence who resigned during
the past year. Messrs. Baur. Gor-
ham, and Roodnur were old mom-
Ilt‘l’fl ro-elccted.
The melt-ting heard reports from
the treasurer. the executive com-
mittce, the Ladies' Visiting Board.
and the General Manager. The Ex-
ecutive Committve reported the
salient features in the progress of
the hospital. -
First. in regard to the nurses
homo—purchase of the site adjac—
ent to the hospital on the north was
authorizod last October. President
Redford agreeing to contribute
$5,000 or one—half of the purchase
price. The other half of the cost
came from the Emergency Appeal
Fund. 1: will be recalled that the

X-my. the latter :1 gift of Mr. Bed-
ford. Through the initiative 0:
Judge \‘i‘alsh, the hospital counsel.
3 measure was introduced in the
Legislature providing for a. first lien
on accident and liability insurance
policies in favor of hospitals. This
new law enables hospitals to col-
lect the actual cost of insurance di-
rect from insurance companies as
in compensation cases. In this con-
nection it should be recalicd that
the amendment to the Compensation
Act by which the actual cost of
service is collectible was also a
feature which was put through by
the efforts of the counsel and Exe-
cutive ’Committee of the Norwalk
Hospital.
From the standpoint of hospital
service one oflthc most important
advances of the year has been the
securing of a. technician in pathol-
ogy. the giving of free service with
the CXceptlon of one test to all ward
patients. and a. very reasonable
scale of prices for all private and
semi-private cases.
Miss Edna Hunkemeier. wh‘fiiuis
the technician in pathology is also
taking training in X-Ray. and will
in a few months. be able to serve
in that capacity also. This will
insure a. prompter and a. more rea-
sonable service in both these depart-
merits. ,
The year ending October 1. 1922
was the banner year of the hospital
as to. total number or patients and
in many other ways. The year end-
ing October 1, 1823, suffers some-
what by comparison. The number
of patients admitted was 1,540. this
being 17 less than the previous year.
The number of patients' days how-
ever, (a. better standard or compar-
ison) was 15,802. this being 2,519
less than theprevious year. The
explanation is that there were an
unusually large number of short
time cases the past year. entering
andlmvlng the same ay. This is
further borne out by ' the average

_ “’right had never built a canal and
was not trained as an engineer. but
had an astonishing amount of prac-
tical sense which the completion and

gineers, will ever be alive in engin-
eering annals and the history at
