Spangler Hopes for New Hospital
Spangler, March 23

Word has been received here from Messrs. T. O. Helfrick and James A. 
McClain, who went to Harrisburg this week in the interest of the 
hospital, that they had a satisfactory hearing before the House 
Appropriations Committee and feel confident of a favorable 
consideration of the hospital bill.

Spangler residents are very desirous of securing an appropriation for a 
hospital as they feel such an institution is almost a necessity on 
account of the many mine accidents in the town and vicinity.
