During his address, President Stevens made the following statement in connection with the Chesapeake and Ohio Hospital Association, which, on November 1, will be twenty years old: "It is a co-operative association, the railway company furnishing and maintaining the buildings, and the officials and employees by monthly assessments operating the same, the association providing the necessary fixtures and providing the service.
Any employee who is ill or injured is eligible to the hospital and its splendid service, free of charge, and can also have medical prescriptions filled if endorsed by his superior officer. Separate wards are maintained for colored employees.
"The hospital building at Clifton Forge, after twenty years of service, became obsolete, and the company, at an expenditure of about $70,000, has completed the construction of a new building, the hospital fund providing the necessary furniture and fixtures at a cost of about $15,000. This hospital is being formally opened today, and it is hoped will meet the needs of the employees who are supporting."
