ST. LUKE'S HOSPITAL MAY BE SOLD.

THE CONSOLIDATION OF TWO INSTITUTIONS
MAKES MORE ROOM NECESSARY.
The present consolidation Of the House Of Rest for

tees of the latter institution to consider the ACCESSIBILITY
of selling their valuable property in F1fthave. In
fact IL is understood that So 5OOO 900 will purchase the
present site at Fifty fourtst. and Flave. In view
of the prices brought by land in that neghborhood re

believed to be worth that amount OF money several
wears ago the question Of selling the hospital was
scriously considered by the trustees. 1t was argued
at the time by those favor Of the proposed sale tha
the grounds were too valuable TO be used for hospital
purposes and that buildings could be erected for
the difference between the selling price of the old
site and the purchasing price Of site further up
town. The project, however, was given up. Inc
