Inat Nnlle Tue lOcdtlOn, size OF the GROUNDS
and sanitations are desirable there are not
sufficient buildings 10 meet the increased de-
mands which the growth of our city presses
upon the hospitals sccomm odatiOns. In
view of these facts we would respectfully ask
| Of your humble body such legislation as
would secure an appropriation of fifteen
thousand dollars for the purpose of making
the desired additions and Improvements
with this amount of money at our disposal,
it is our design to build new wing on the
south end Of the main building to be devoted
to the treatment Of male patients only. The
main building to be altered so as to make it
answer for an executive building-that is,
for Office, matrou's room, sleeping rooms
for nurses and general dining room. The
wing already erected We propose devoting TO
the treatment Of female patients only We
also propose with the means we hope to
command to make Improvements in the
kitchen and laundry. In conclusion We
would saw that with that amount of money
expended on the present institution, ample
and proper accommodations would be Sc
cured to the city and county for hospital
purposes for the next ten years or more. All
of which is respectfully submitted by yours
respectfully, >. j. O'LEARY,
Chairman Board Of Control.
