It willaccommo date 100 bed*, and the rooms are to be^moderately priced. Expectant moth ers may come to St. Francis with the knowledge that their cases will be cared for as economically as possible. The vacating of the present maternity section of the hospital will also open up a number of inexpensive rooms for general cases.

But for the great number of people who compose our population, it becomes imperative to provide hos- pital quarters that are in keeping with income.
