location Is an ideal one for the hospital.

the beautiful Capitol Square on the West
and on the East commands a splendid
view Of the Valley and Of James river.
Located as IL is upon the summit OF a
hin. with wide southern exposure. IL will
be certain OF any breeze that blows at
all times during the warm weather
The hospital building will be thoroughly
up-to-date and modern In every respect
and VIII be an ornament TO the CITY.
Great credit is due Drs. George Ben
Johnston, Christopher TomDkins ana
Lewis Bosher IN securing for the city this
splendid charity. The idea has been a
cherished one with these gentlemen esne-
ciaily with Or. Johnston, for a long time
past. and their hopes are now about to
be realized.
Architects and contractors will be=in
work at once. and II is proposed TO be-
gin the erection Of the hospital at an
