WEDNESDAY, OUT, 24, 1o “Seven Local Veterans Display Discharges

NAME PLANNERS FOR HOSPITAL

Architects to" Draw Prints For T. B. Building.

George ©. ‘Wright and Kurt Vonnegut were named architects and G. M. Williams was selected as engineers for the proposed $2,700,« 000 building program at the Marion County Tuberculosis hospital at Sunnyside. County commissioners and mem=

bers of the hospital board of managers selected the architects and engineer. William T. Ayres, president of the board of commissioners, said the architects and engineering fee will total 5 per cent of the total cost of construction, or about $135,000. The county has received $51,000 from the federal works administration and $30,000 from the state revolving fund to employ the architects and egineer. The construction will be financed by an outright federal grant plus & county bond issue. Probably 50 per cent of the cost. will come from the count, Mr. Ayres estimated. Remodeling of some of the pres-| ent buildings at Sunnyside, a new 600-bed hospital and homes for physicians are included in the plans. ‘When the project is finished hospital facilities will be made available to returned war veterans.
