Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2013 http://archive.org/details/twentysixthannuaOOcoun ANNUAL REPORT. The Board of Directors of the County of Carleton General Pro- testant Hospital, herewith submit for the information of the Sub- scribers to the Hospital and public generally, the Twenty-sixth Annual Eeport of their proceedings, with financial and other state- ments. Tho income of the year ending January 31st, 1817, was $8509.28 ; the several items and from whence derived will be found in the Treasurer's Statement appended to this Eeport, There has been an increase in the following items : Annual subscriptions, oity churches and in Legislative grant ; and a decrease in donations and paying patients. The disbursements for the year have been as follows ; Under the head of ordinary expenditure, was $6698.70, and that for the year 1875, $7277.47, showing a decrease of $578.77 ; and that of extra- ordinary, on account of balance due on building contracts and repairs, $2286.28. The Board have to express their regret that a sum of about $5,000 remains due as a floating debt, which must be paid by loan, as tho depression in the general business of the country forbids the hope of obtaining large help from the generous friends who have hitherto aided the Board in their efforts to build and establish the new Hospital. The list of Annual Subscriptions for the past year amounts to $1319.55, and is the largest sum ever yet collected for the Hospital in any year under this head, and this is owing to the carrying out in part of the system laid down in last Annual Eeport, viz : a collec- tion from door to door, calling on the Protestant community, young and old, to give to this very deserving object. It is to be regretted that only one or two of tho several Committees selected attended to the duties appointed them. However there is much encouragement for the Board in what has been done, as from the amount collected and the kind manner in which the collectors were received by those called on, there need be no fears that the institution will be sustained if this work of collection were thoroughly carried out. The collections from city churches amount to $582.28 ; those for the year 1875 were $321.34; increase, $260.94. From churches 8 in the surrounding country was received $88.67, and for the year 1875, $167. 1G; decrease, $78.49. The Board regrets that Hospital Sunday Collections have not been as generally adopted as they think they might have been, in view that the benefits arising from having so excellent an institu- tion, is enjoyed (as any reader may see at a glance in the list of places from whence patients have been sent) by nearly all the com- munities in the surrounding country, and also in consideration that the doors of the Hospital are open to all indigent sick patients, be they strangers or citizens. The donations amount to $909.24. The amount received for paying patients amounts to $552.50. The annual grant from the City Council was $800. The Council of the County of Carleton has again granted us a sum of $1000, for which the Board feel grateful, and would desire that other municipalities in counties in the Ottawa Valley would do likewise, seeing that the indigent sick of their several localities are here cared for. The annual grant from the Ontario Legislature amounted to $2858.30. The total income as per Treasurer's State- ment is $8510.28. It does not amount to so large a sum as that of last year, as part of the receipts of that year were not ordinary income, but received in aid of the new building. The items of expenditure for the year may be seen under the several headings attached to this Eeport, and the Board beg to assure the supporters of this institution that they exercise due economy in the disbursement of the funds so generously granted to this charity. The Board think it opportune here to suggest that a Committee of charitable persons, in each of the towns and villages, might be formed to make, as is now done in this city, an annual collection from door to door in aid of our funds, and if any so desire to do, we would respectfully ask of them to communicate with the Secretary. It is our painful duty to record the death of two Life Directors of this Hospital, the late Hon. Malcolm Cameron and the late James D. Slater, Esq. ; also, one of the elected Directors W. A. McKinnon, Esq., all of whom in their lifetime were hearty supporters of this institution. We have also to record the death of the late House Steward, Mr. George Sadler, who, for a number of years, faithfully discharged the onerous duties devolving on him—he survived his resignation and removal, to his native land, but a few months. The Board have much pleasure in acknowledging the faithful manner in which the attending physicians have discharged their duties, and from the success of their operations in some Yery critical 9 cases, leave no doubt that this Hospital has as efficient a medical staff as may he found in the Dominion. The House Surgeon, Matron and Nurses have been attentive to their duties, and have given much satisfaction to the Board during the year. The several ministers have been constant in their visits to the Hospital, and faithful in the discharge of their sacred duties to the sick and the dying. The lady visitors have been constant in their attendance, and in their enquiries after the wants of the sick, and have on several occasions rendered their visits profitable to the Hospital, by sending donations of cloth- ing and supplies. The number of Patients received into the Hospital during the past year amounts to 214, being the exact number admitted during the previous year.

An Address Delivered Before the Board of Trade of the City of Ottawa, Nov. 7, 1893. By McLeod Stewart, Ex -Mayor of the City of Ottawa. Gentlemen,— We are assembled here, this evening to consider a subject which should be one of special interest, not alone to the people of our own city and section of country, but to all within the province in which we live—for the project of making Ottawa an ocean port and of thereby attracting to it no inconsiderable share of the trade and commerce of half a continent is one, I humbly conceive, ot equal importance, whether viewed by us merely as citizens of Ottawa or in our more enlarged rapacity as inhabitants of the banner province of the Dominion. There are two aspects in which this undertaking may be viewed : ist.

    Local Railway Items from Area Papers - 1901 04/01/1901 Ottawa Citizen Ottawa Electric There was a partial tie up of the Rideau Street line of the street railway last night caused by a car jumping the track. As car No. 64 was speeding northwards down the Nicholas Street hill, the motorman seemed to lose control and on reaching the curve was going too fast to turn. The car went straight ahead, jumping the track, stopping within two feet of the sidewalk in front of Bourque's store. The auxiliary car and gang were summoned and had a big contract getting the car back on the track. 04/01/1901 Eastern Ontario Review Canada Atlantic Alexandria New Stage Line Mr. John Morrow, C.A.R. agent has succeeded in establishing a regular stage line from Alexandria to Green Valley to connect with all C.P.R. trains. 08/01/1901 Ottawa Citizen Chaudiere McKay Milling One of the capital's oldest manufacturing concerns, the McKay Milling Company, is about to go out of business. After the April fire which gutted the buildings and destroyed the plant and stock therein the company sold the mill site and water power at the Chaudiere to Mr. J.R. Booth. A good figure was obtained and the directors thought it was advisable to wind up the affairs of the company rather than seek another site and start anew at present. The McKay Milling Company was founded over 60 years ago in the days of Bytown by the late Hon. Thomas McKay.-- It is understood Mr.

  • Streets of Ottawa Tour Focuses Specifically on Some of the Families Who Helped Build Ottawa and the Surrounding Communities and Named the Streets in Our Neighborhoods
    Streets of Ottawa Celebrating those who were honoured with a street name in their memory The Streets of Ottawa Tour focuses specifically on some of the families who helped build Ottawa and the surrounding communities and named the streets in our neighborhoods. 1 . Rue GILMOUR Street - Section 53, Lots 3-4 Allan Gilmour is one of Bytown’s pioneer lumbermen. He learned the trade working for his uncle (also named Allan Gilmour), a partner in the lumber firm of Pollock, Gilmour & Company in Glasgow, Scotland. Year after year, Gilmour supervised the sawing and shipping of millions of feet of lumber on timber rafts floated down the Ottawa and St. Lawrence rivers to the Gilmour timber coves in Quebec. He was appointed to the rank of major in the local militia at the time of the Fenian Raids (1866-1867) and was later made colonel. 2. Place SOPER Place - Corridor B, Section 30, Crypts ABC Warren Y. Soper formed an electrical equipment company along with Thomas Ahearn, the manager of a rival telephone firm. As former telegraph operators, they knew the importance of communication. One of the first contracts they received was to build a coast-to-coast telegraph system for the Canadian Pacific Railway. As manager of the Dominion Telegraph Company, Soper opened Ottawa’s first telephone exchange in 1880. The Bell Telephone Company later acquired the exchange and appointed Soper as its Ottawa manager. Along with partner Ahearn, Soper brought electricity to Ottawa in 1885, and established the Ottawa Electric Street Railway Company in 1891. 3.

RECOLLECTIONS OF BYTOWN AND ITS OLD INHABITANTS BY WILLIAM PITTMAN LETT. OTTAWA: "CITIZIEN" PRINTING AND PUBLISHING COMPANY, SPARKS STREET 1874. INTRODUCTION. As no book, small or great—gay or grave, witty or sublime, scientific, dramatic, poetic, tragic, historical, metaphysical, philosophical, polemical, wise or otherwise—can be considered complete, particularly at the beginning, without a preface; I have deemed it expedient that the contents of the following pages should be dignified by a few lines of an introductory nature. It was not my intention when I commenced these reminiscences to publish them in their present form, neither had I any idea of their extending beyond a few hundred lines. That I have changed my mind is entirely owing to the solicitations of friends desirous of having them in compact shape, and not to any particular ambition of my own to write a book. I do not pretend to present the reader with anything perfect in rhythm, polished in measure, or labored in style of construction.
