TOTAL OF $19,000 FOR COUNTY HOSPITAL

Special Sessitm of County Council Appropriates Additional SB,OOO For Hospital. i ' At a special session of the countycouncil Monday afternoon an additional SB,OOO was appropriated for the county hospital, making a total of $19,000 subscribed or the new building. At the first session of the council they appropriated SIO,OOO for the hospital and SI,OOO for the let, before the plans and specifications were prepared. Albin W. Coen drew up the plans and specifications and when they were submitted it was found that the SIO,OOO would be entirely inadequate to provide for the new building that the plans called f#r. The previous plans had not provided for an elevator and had provided for a shingle roof. Our new hospital will be built on the lot just south of the jail and will be a beautiful building, modem in every way, and-one that the citizens of the county will have a right to feel very proud of.
