There is nothing in this that would
conflict with the ninety nine year
lease being made, as is proposed.
y mouth ago the physicians Of the
city held a meeting with Rev. Father

matter Mr.. Suter then favored
building new hospital building at
the corner Of Sixth and Main streets,
On the upper sde.and use the present
hospital as detention ward, or for
very poor patients and county
patients. His idea was to have three
Sisters remain at the present hospi-
.al. This plan was proposed to the
aldermen last night by DR.. H;elscher
after the discussion had closed.
The Sisters have an offer to go to
Oshkosh, Wis. and take charge OF a
new hospi,a al there which cost Sl2,000
and which can accommodate seventy
four pafients. They, also have an
other offer in view. made by the
Bishop,
1t is believed that the plan which
will eventually be adopted will be to
extend the sewer and water mains
out Broad street, past the Franklin
school house and into Dukes addi-
zion, and then put in a branch to the
hospital The sewer and water mains
must evidently be extended, and the
five cents a front foot TAX will partly
pay the cost, while a small assessment
can be made upon the sewer extern
tiOn. The Franklin school badly
needs sewerage and water.
