Plan to Build Local Hospital in Seward
A city canvass will gauge funding to raise about four to five thousand dollars for a Seward hospital. Bishop Rowe spoke at Moore's hall promising to equip and maintain the facility if residents erect the building. Architect W J Stone outlined a roughly five thousand dollar plan. An Episcopal diocese push backs maintenance and operation, with Rowe offering ongoing support. The fundraising committee, led by F H Stewart with Wes Allen as treasurer and M B Holland as secretary, will organize a townwide drive.
