PERTH INFIRMARY.
REQUEST APPRECIATED. MISS J. CHALMERS’ WILL. LONDON, Feb. 22. The bequest of £20,000 made by the late Miss Jane Chalmers, of Ashburton, to the Perth City; Infirmary, is much appreciated. Mr John C. Cameron, solicitor, the secretary of the infirmary, in an interview, said: It is the best information regarding the infirmary I have received for many years. It will come as a tonic to all the directors, as it is to me.” Mi' Cameron spoke of a. pleasant coincidence in connection with the intimation of the bequest. “In the late autumn of last year,” lie said, “tho directors appealed to the public for a sum of £20,000, but the response was not too good, although we got in a few thousands. “The object of the that appeal was to alter and enlarge the out-patients’ department at £12,000, erecting a new operating theatre, £6OOO, a total of £20,000. At the moment we are again making a special appeal for money. Last year we treated more than 8000 patients, and the number is increasing month by month.”
