If the people of Philipsburg want the | hospital there, they should expend | their energies on the commission to | induce them, by liberal offers, and fair argaments What Phil psbarg is the place for this hospital JELLEFONTE, Pa, Sept. 3 Harry C. WirLiams, Esq, Editor Philipsburg Ledger. Dear Sir: In order that the peo- | ple of Philipsburg, Osceola Houtz Jale, who are interested in the location of Miner's Hospitals provid- ¢d by law may not be deceived by newspaper correspondents snd olbers who misrepresent the trath, and a: tempt tw make political capital against the promoters of this charity, I desire, through your paper, to state some facts and make some sugges- tions on the subject : The Act of" Assembly approved 14th of June, 1887, appropriated $60, 000, for the erzetion of three Miner's Hospitals in the bituminous and semi- bituminous coal regions of the State comprising the counties of Allegheny, Bedford, Fayeue, Green. Somerset, Washington, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, lodiaoa, Westmoreland, Cam- eron, Clarion, Crawford, Clearfleld, Elk, Erie, Forest, Jefferson, Taw- rence, McKean, Mercer, V. Warren, Blair, Bradford, Cambria, Centre, Sullivan, Clinton, Hunting- don, Potter, Lycoming and Tiogs. The Commission appointed to se lect the locations for these hospitals is Suited uf ove commissioner from (then) six inspection districts of the Btate. Their names are Col. 1888 man; Hoo. H. D. Tate, of Bedfnd county, Secretary; David Cameron, E-q., of Tiga county ; Colonel Co- burn, of Centre and Mr, French, of Allegheny county. The fourth section of the Act pro- vides for the donation to the State of tracts of land of suitable area and and character whereon to erect said hospitals, and the Commision has wisely decided n)t to erect a hospiial at any point where sufficient land is not donated for thet purpose, The Commission has been engaged for about three months io examining s'tes offered for the erection of these hospi- tals ia different sections of the bitu | MiNOus regions, : | | proceedi { coal mining ‘ [the Ck lands and in the Third and part « | Cambria county | This place is lo the sixth district.

Second, is in the centre of the largest bitumi- nous coal field in Pennsylvania, con- taining more than twice the coal area of the Houtzdale, Osceola and Phil ipsburg regions combined. Third, because this fleld is comparatively new and is developing rapidly, while the Philipsqurg, Osceols, and Houtz- dale region bave over half of their coal worked out and cannot, it is thought, stand the presest enormous output many years longer. Fourth, because before the hospital can be erected, there will be ample railroad connections to Hastings. The Clear- field & Cambria Railrosd now passes through it; a line has been surveyed from Hastings to Cresson fifieen miles distant which will be bailt within a year. The Beech Creek road has pushed its way to within seventeen miles of this new territory, and has its proposed extension already rar veyed. These conditions assure a mining population which should he sustained by a hospital, But, the Commission has not decided lo locate a hospital at Hastings, or any place else. 1% has not yet visited that place.
