Overton Thinks Expense of Proposed Fatchogue Institution Too Large. PATOHOG17E. Jan. 39. Althouali John Roe Smith has inaugurated a movement for the erection of a nospitai here by offering to donate $1,000 if other residents will raise $10,000, Dr.

Frank Overton, health ofllcer of the town and tha village, declares tbat the nrolect la not a feasible one. "It would not be hard to purehaee a site of land and erect a building or buy a structure already standing." said Dr. Overton to a Brooklyn Times reporter yesterdsy, "but the trouble would he keeping the thing going even if we had the number of wealthy residents that Babylon and Southampton have, people than millionaire, and we have not money enough here to support such a project. Besides the question of funds conies that of physicians. I personally would not take the position of surgeon in such a hospital, nor do 1 believe that any ot my colleagues here would either.

"Moet of Patchogue's physicians are general practitioners, and to take care of surgical cases In a hospital would make heavy demands on their time. There 1s very little surgery being done In Patchogue at present tor this very reason. As to patients losing their lives because of t'te delay in getting them to the Babylon Hospital, It is my belief that wherever deaths have resulted they have been caused by local physicians waiting too long before sending their patients to a surgical ward. "Patients can be taken to Babylon In an hour from her. I do not believe that the trip Itself, either by train or by automobile, has ever aggravated a patient's condition to any great extent." ST.

He became deeply Impressed with the necessity of a new edifice and he doclded to erect a new and larger church. Ground was broken alongside the old wooden church on the propertv that had previously served as a burying ground. The bodies that had reposed in this burinl place for more than three decades were- removed and buried in St Mary's Cemetery in Flushing. The cornerstone of the new church was laid In the fall of 1894 by the Right Rev. Bishop It cost more than Mirny Improvements, involving the additional expenditure of thousands of dollars, have since been made.

The new church is ot Oothle architecture and Is must attractive with its red brick and Indiana stone trimmings. To P4v off the debt on tne new church has been the sole ambition or Father Schumack. who has been in charge of the parish for more than twenty-five years. That he has been eminently successful In this respect Is evidenced by the fact that the church I how free grom all Indebtedness: A new parsonage) wss erected through the energy of Mther Schumack and addition and other improvements have been made to the parochial school. Father Schumack will next direct his attention to erecting a more substantial steeple to the church.
