the united Hospitals was found sufficient to meet the demands made upon them; but on account of the considerable increase of the native population during the last few years and by reason of the over-crowded condition of the locality in which the Alice Memorial Hospital is situate, it has become once more necessary for those who have the management of the affairs of the said Hospitals, to arrange for the erection of another building upon a site more suitable to the purposes of a public Hospital and to incorporate it with the existing Hospitals.

That in the early part of this current month Your Petitioners received a generous offer from one Madame Wu Ting Fang, wife of His Excellency Wu Ting Fang, for- merly Chinese Minister to the United States of America, to build a new Hospital upon a site to be provided for by the Board of Management of the said Alice Memorial and Nethersole Hospitals. The new hospital when completed will be affiliated to the said Alice Memorial and Nethersole Hospitals, placed .under the same management, and utilized as a Free Public Hospi-

However, the Charitable Hospitals, where purely Euro- pean methods of treatment of diseases are in vogue, have not so far succeeded in materially increasing 'their space and accomDBO- dation. The accompanying Memorandum on the Alice Memorial and .Nethersole Hospitals by Robert MacLean Gibson, one of Your Petitioners, fully indicate the necessity for an immediate
