Through the generosity of Joseph L. Sweet, of the R. F. Simmons Co., the entire indebtedness incurred in the building of the Sturdy Memorial Hospital has been cleared. Last week Mr. Sweet gave to the hospital the sum of $12,000, which liquidated the entire indebtedness of the association. Some time ago Mr. Sweet made the offer of $12,000 if the Hospital Aid Association would dispose of 12 beds at $250 each. The women worked hard, but succeeded in disposing of only nine. Mr. Sweet, however, made his offer of $12,000 good. The donation will be used for the purchase of a bed to perpetuate the memory of Mr. Sweet’s mother.
