Two doctors, Maxon and Baker, who established the institution, announce that in the near future they w ill install equipment and that if necessary they will build a larger building. At present the hospital is located in the building just north of the Fillmore Commercial and Savings Bank. There can be no doubt that this institution will save lives, much suffering and expense for the people of east Millard County. Anyone that has ever had to travel over rough roads, when very sick or injured, to the nearest railroad station and from there to the nearest hospital for treatment knows well how to appreciate having a hospital at home. You will remember just a few years ago, the need for such an institution was so keenly felt, that many people were in favor of either the Cbunty or Gty government furnishing and operating one, and much street argument was heard to the effect that we needed a hospital much worse than a courthouse. The courthouse was built and now two enterprising young doctors have established the hospital. 10 Years ru BATH 61 Gan. & WASH.
