—'EN PAGES REND S ONEN HOSPTAL YARS HOBREL ECEASED LADY LEFT HER HOME ON SOUTH MISSOURI AVE. T0 THE CITY ill Be Known as “Morrell Memo- rial Hospital; Is a Much Needed Institution Through the generosity, of Mrs. A. Morrell, who recently passed 7ay, Lakeland will be enabled to ve what has long been a crying ed of the city a public hospital. 1 will of this excellent lady, aich has recently been admitted to obate, makes possible this long edeq institution. The will, which is dated Aug. , 1913, and which is witnessed by . A. BEvans, H. D. Bassett and . J: Greaves, names H. J. Drane executor, without bond, with au- ority to carry out all the provi- ms of the instrument. One of ese provisions empowers Mr. ‘ane to deal with the city in the cqssary eteps toward the estab4 hment of ‘the “‘Morrell Memorial »spital,” and the property of the ceased on Missouri avenue, be- ‘een Lemon and Orange streets is dicated for this purpose. The operty is left to the city, provided be equipped and used as a hospi- | within one ycar, ang is to be 1d by the city as long as it is us equipped and maintained. ould the city not take advantage this ,officer within one year, or ould the property at any time be andoned for hospital purposes, :. Drane is authorized to dispose the property for the benefit of ch other charities of a similar na- re @8 he may sce fit. As there is alrcady a good build- g on the property, which is most sirably located, and, as only a few ndred dollars will be necessary to rchase such equipment as is ab- utely necessary for the present, it certain ‘that the city will take vantage of Mrs. Morrell's gener- ty and maintain this institution, which ithere is great need. The ople of Lakeland owe a debt of atitede to this kind-hearted lady + her splendid gift, and the Me- yrial Hospital will doubtless be a sing and comfort to afflicted rsons throughout the years and 've to keep green and fragrant the ymory of the generous donor in e hearts of all the people of this mmunity. e e e e T 2 R T e s )VERNOR TO REDUCE PENSION TAX MILLAGE Tallahassee, Fla., Maren 7.—Un- r the provisions of section 15 of e pemsion law, which provides at the' governor may reduce the illage authorized to be assessed ud collected for payment of pen- ons, when, in his judgment the nount so assessed will he more |@an requireq to pay the pension- '8 on .the roll. Governor Park rammell has been making some sel iry investigation' with a lew to ordering a reduction of the :nsfon tax millage for the year 914+ The governor, from the con- de he has already given the 1bjeet, feels conficent he will be ble fa.order a substantial reduc- lon ll is tax.
