Columbus, June 5.-The plans for the
new addition to be built to the Massillon
state hospital show that the structure
will be handsome, substantial and mod
ern throughout. The new addition will
be occupied principally by the attend
ants. although the spacious auditorium
it will contain will be for the patients.
The plans call for the expenditure of
$4,000, which sum was appropriated for
the improvement by the general assem-
bly, last spring. The French Gothic style
OF architecture will be used and the
building will be three stories high, 400
feet long and $50 feet deep. 1t will oc-
cupy choice position on the most ele-
waited portion of the grounds which will
give it unusual prominence. The ex-
terror Of the building will be finished in
Massillon mottled brick in variegated
colors-red, brown and yellow.
The red tile floor will be trimmed with
Cleveland stone. The front part of
the structure will be strikingly impos-
ing. Over the main entrance are arched
race. A gabel surmounts the collonades
and above the former is q projecting
stone balcony, flanked on both sides by
artistically designed terraces, which
contribute in no small measure to the
general appearance Of the edifice.
The colonial fineals on the roof are Of
terra Gotta. There Is a porch and an
exit at each side of the building but
there is not much embellishment in the
rear.
Broad stone steps lead from all doors
outside.
The windows will be painted and
glazed. The interior will be finished in
quartered oak. The building will con-
tain rs large, light, airy rooms, most
OF which will be used as sleeping apart
ments. The chief feature will be the
assembly auditorium which will be in
the middle part Of the building, extend
ing from the first to the third story.
1t will have seating capacity of 1,2OO
and will be provided with gallery and
stage. There will be a large number
OF exits from the gallery. The audito-
rum will be utilized for dances, recep-
tions, concerts, etc. The center Of the
floor will be perfectly level for the dane
ers. The various sleeping apartments,
each Of which will be about 20 feet
square, will be ranged opposite the au-
ditorium-the males occupying the
rooms on one side and the females those
on the other side. There will be a sit
ting room for both sexes in the respec-
tive departments. The basement will
contain the drug shop, recreation hall
and lavatories and minor departments,
The building will be illuminated by elec-
tricity, heated by the hot blast method
and ventilated by a mechanical sys-
TEN.
The addition will be 70 feet tall and
over million and a half Of brick will
be used in its construction. Six hun
dred and 29 yards Of earth will be ex-
csvated for the foundation.
The board Of trustees awarded the
contract to Robert H. Evans and Com
pany of GAINESVILLE, several weeks ago
and work on the building will be begun
within two weeks.
Three hundred and twenty applicants
for admission to the bar are here taking
the examination today. The class is
the largest that has ever appeared be-
fore the board and the members fear
they will be unable to examine the pa
pers as thoroughly as required owing
to the limited amount of time they will
have.
