Important Hearing on Insane Hospitals.
The joint committee on insane hospi-
tai, composed Of the finance and insane
hospital committees, met in Representa-
tives' Hall this evening to hear about the
proposed hospital at Bangor. Mr.. An
drew Halves of Deering treated them
to surprise. Superinte ndent Sanborn
of the Augusta Hospital described the
crowded condition Of that institution,
and then Architect Coombs of Auburn
explained his plan for the proposed hos
pltal at Bangor. The ground plans were
Shown. Six buildings, three on each
side of the central building for patients,
women on one side of the main building
and men on the other. These plans
would give 500 patients each room. The
entire structure with wood floors would
cost $515, 900 total, with fire proof floors,
1918, OOO These buildings would be
built Of brick with brick partitions. To
build the centre buildings and a wing on
either side the cost would be 1916, 900.
This would accommodate $50 patients.
This cost would include plumbing,
sew erage, boiler house and outlying
buildings, grading, etc. It would take
about three years to build these build
ings. Not much more expensive to APP
propriate part at this legislature and the
remainder two years from now. He
thought the excavation and outside walls
closed in would cost for these two wings
and central building 100000 This
would leave the bulldog safe from frost.
This is for fire proof work. These build
ings would have basement and three
stories.
