THE MISSION HOSPITAL.
WORK ON THE FOUNDATIONS
BEGUN.
The Hospital Authorities Were
Advised by Their Attorneys to
Erect the Building, NOtwith-

e6l n Permit

standing the Board Had Refus-
ed a Permit.
Ground was broken for the foundations
of the new Mission hospital yesterday.
The building is to be erected at the
point first chosen, on the lot now
occupied by the hospital, corner OF Wood
fin and Charlotte streets.
About two months ago application
was made to the board Of aldermen tor a
permit to erect the new building at
the present site. There was some
objection to the granting of the permit,
and property owners in that vicinity pre-.
sentcd petition asking that the permit
be refused.
Each side had able counsel and the
board finally decided to refuse the permit.
Since that time nothing has been done
in the way of erecting the hospital, until
yesterday, when ground was broken as
stated. This course was decided on by
The hospital authorities after consulting
their attorneys. The building is to be
built strictly according to the plans pre-,
pared by Arthur J. Wills, the architect,
and published in TIE CITIZEN on May 20,
The building will be frame one, two
and halt stories in height. Each full
story will be twelve feet high, and the
half story ten feet, The building is to be
built in the best style and with every
arrangement for the convenience Of pa
tients, the attending physicians and
nurses. 1t will be hospital building
such as the larger cities have, and will
reflect credit on the managers of this
noble charity and those who contribute
to its support.
J. A. Tennent is the contractor, and
it is thought that the building can be
finished by the latter part of December.
