Glidden Bequest Proposed for DeKalb Hospital Plan
J A Solon of DeKalb argues to readers that Illinois law prevents using city funds for sectarian hospitals and urges funding from the Glidden will to create the Joseph T F Glidden Hospital. He outlines using $22,000 bequest plus accrued interest for the new hospital and $5,000 to support two free rooms, insisting the facility will serve all races and creeds and be nonsectarian run by Sisters, with bonds and public funds re-examined.
