START WORK ON $2,000,000 HOSPITAL PLAN Mayor, Councilmen and Health Board Hear Power Plant Consultants. O. A. Ammerman, 925 Continental Bank building, consulting engineer, today began work on preliminary plans and estimates for the new city hospital power plant which will be the first unit in a contemplated $2,000,000 program. Councilmen, health board members and Mayor L. Ert Slack heard Dr. Christopher W. Parnell, Rochester ( N. Y.) hospital consultant, report recommendations on city hospital needs Saturday and ordered Ammerman to begin work. A report will be made in sixty days. It is estimated that the power plant, southwest of the present buildings, will cost about $400,000. The unit will be near the Riley hospital power plant. Discuss §400,000 Structure Erection of a $450,000 four-story : tructure north of the present buildnv's and west of the surgery, facing on Fall Creek boulevard, and a $900,000 multi-story ward unit in the center of the tract was discussed. Dr. Parnell recommended converting the present administration building into residential quarters, transferring the administration offices to the proposed new building nearer the center of the hospital plant. The out-patient division, which Dr. Parnell believes should be extended, and larger modern laboratory facilities would be housed in the new structure. Revision of the hospital methods would centralize and provide greater efficiency, Dr. Parnell stated. Within the next two years the first of three units would be built south of the surgery and in tlm center of the tract. Each unit aid have capacity of 400 beds, n.-.ang a 1,500-bed hospital when the project is completed. The program is designed to care for needs for the next twenty-five years and to make city hospital complete in every respect. It was estimated that a ten-story ward unit would cost under $900,000. The kitchen and service department would be in the basement. Departure from the present pavilion type of buildings was recommended to centralize administration and prevent carting patients a long distance, according to Dr. Frederick E. Jackson, board president. To Convert Burdsal Wards The Burdsal units on the west wing, now used for wards, would be converted into Negro and c. ivalescent wards under the plan. A laundry and garage are planned on the south side of the main buildings, facing Locke street. Mayor Slack and councilmen tentatively approved the program. A site for the proposed $300,000 Flower Mission hospital has been offered the society. The tuberculosis unit would face Fall Creek boulevard, west of Wilson street, and the present city buildings. The latest wonder of agriculture, ! s a cabbage plant which produced six heads of cabbage in turn, one above the other.

ASSESSORS TO TAKE TRAILS OF TAXDODGERS Township Redistricted to Make It Easier to Cover Territory. Center township has been redistricted to make it easier for assessors to cover the territory and harder for property owners to escape taxation. Township Assessor Frank Brattair announced that the 155 deputies would start working in the new dis trict March 1. In the downtown section of the city; fifteen districts have been laid out, each of which will be patrolled by one man. This, Brattain said, will prevent duplications that have appeared in previous years because the assessors sometimes visited places where one of their co-workers already had been. Visit Each Building Each office building will be visited room by room, as will each independent business in the downtown districts. Records are to be kept of each street and the business rooms and buildings thereon. In this way the office has a double check on the places from year to year. The name, location and valuation of the previous year are entered in each instance. In the residence districts, of which there are 140, the assessors will go after the personal property assessments. In many cases, Brattain said, there now are small community centers of business houses which will be assessed by a special ‘‘flying squadron.” Check All Assessments Another new system under the redistricting plan is that of having the local board of review check valuations of any amount. Heretofore, the board has not scrutinized assessments that aggregated less than SI,OOO. This will prevent persons from escaping rigid investigation by making the assessed valuation less than SI,OOO. During 1928, center township assessments totaled $52,500,000 with about $25,000,000 of this being business property. The total was more than $55,000,000. Chief Deputy William Graham said the decrease was due to vacancies in office buildings and a slackening in business. He cited two Indianapolis firms which dropped almost $1,000,000. Work for Sixty Days “This year will show larger returns,” he said. “They probably will be larger than those two years ago because business is picking up and there are less office building vacancies and more real estate activity and building.” Since May 1," 1927, investigators have uncovered SBOO,OOO worth of property concealed through false assessment statements, Brattain said The personal assessment deputies will work fifty-two days after March 1 and the deputies in the business district, sixty days.

Neighbors said Breer and his wife frequently quarreled, and some gave this as a motive for the man’s act. The bbdies were found when neighbors noticed water running from beneath the kitchen door The owner of the house gained entrance by crawling through a basement window, where he found the bodies, closely huddled together on a bed. Stole Gas for Tragedy Stolen gas was used in the tragedy. Several days prior to the man’s act the gas meter had been completely disconnected and a rubber pipe was used to connect the pipes of the stove with a gas main.

BECK’S RIGHT TO SEAT UP IN HOUSETODAY Charge Congressman Is Not Philadelphia Resident in Contest. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—The right of James M. Beck of Philadelphia to a seat in congress will be decided when the house takes up the contested election of the former solicitor-general today. Beck's election was contested on the ground he was not a resident of Pennsylvania as defined by the constitution. Election committee 2, however, reported after investigating the case that he was eligible for a seat. , Beck, who was sworn in as a member to succeed Senator-Elect Vare, has been occupying a seat in the chamber daily and drawing SIO,OOO a year for his legislative work. The contest started when his opponents claimed Beck was a resident of New York, that he rented an unfurnished apartment in Philadelphia merely to establish a residence there and at the same time maintained a home in Washington. The committees’ investigation showed, however, Beck was a taxpayer in Philadelphia and resumed his citizenship there. Minority members contend that to allow Beck to retain his seat would be a “frontal attack on the Constitution, a blasting process which is to weaken the foundation of the great American dream of representative government.” Beck’s election to the seventyfifth congress, which comes into being March 4 is also expected to be contested. He was re-elected by ft margin of a few votes.
