Excerpt from Hamilton Health Association: Ninth Annual Report The ninth annual meeting of the Hamilton Health Association was held in the Y. M. C. A. Board Room on Thursday, May 28th, 1914. Mr. J. J. Evel presided, and following the reading of the minutes of the last meeting, delivered his address as follows: Ladies and Gentlemen: In presenting this report for the year 1913 the Directors have every reason to be pleased with the progress of the affairs of the Association and with the ready response of all the members of the various committees in carrying on the work apportioned to them. There is little need of any lengthy report from this Board in view of the detailed statements submitted by the various committees of the Association. As foreshadowed in our report for 1912 the ever-increasing number of afflicted people seeking entry to the institution and the restricted nature of our constitution in limiting our effort to incipient cases only, the inadequacy of accommodation in the city for those needing treatment, caused this Association to place on record their willingness to care for all tubercular patients needing assistance, providing the City Council would provide the necessary funds for the purpose. The result of this action was the passing of a by-law granting $100, 000.00 for the erection of an infirmary and the Southam Home building on the Sanatorium property. This generous response of the citizens of Hamilton imposed upon the Association another difficulty in the matter of an adequate water supply, and after several unsuccessful attempts to solve the problem, your Board made application to the Provincial Secretary, the Honorable W. J. Hanna, through our member, Colonel the Honorable J .S. Hendrie, for permission to lay a water main from the Asylum to the Sanatorium grounds.
