This is a system whereby a pa- tient may put on-his or her light simultaneously be connected with the nurse in charge at the nurses' station in the corridor and through a speaker spotted at the head of the bed may talk nor- mally with the nurse and the nurse may talk with the patient witaout leaving her post. This system will also be connected with the nurses' residence for paging nurses. This proposition was discussed at some length by the board and after a demonstration it was agreed that this system be pur- chased. By using this system no switch board would be necessary. This would cut down the number of phones from 10 to three which would be a great saving. A switch- board is installed by the telephone company on a rental basis only and would never become the prop- erty of the hospital. It has been save the salary of one nurse in one year and pay for itself in two years. X-RAY EQUIPMENT The X-ray equipment has been purchased and is one of the finest.
