Railroad Hospital
To Be Built Here

The Southern Pacific is again to ia
vor Ell Paso.
One of the largest hospitals on the
system is to be located here by the
Southern Pacific and G.. H. roads,. This
fact was made known here this morn
ing when a representative of the COM
pany from San Francisco, who is here
to self the location. told of his plans.
The hospital is % be used jointly by
the two roads, but will be under n
management. 1t is learned that the
two companies ave had the project
under consideration for several months.
in fact ever since they decided to dou-
BILE the capacity of the Ell Paso shops.
The hospital being a pressing neces-
sity, 1t was deemed advisable to put up
the building at once and not wait on
the shop reconstruction crew.
Just where the building will be is
not yet known. but it is said that 1t
will be somewhere near the center Of
the city or at least within the city linn
its. This matter is now under consid-
Grafton and will probably be settled
this week.
The opening Of his institution will
be of more importance to h railroad
employees than to the company or to
the city. AS it has been in the past,
men who were sick or crippled on eth
er OF the two divisions here a to be
sent to San Antonio or Los Angeles.
and in a great many cases they were
unable to stand the trip without injury.
Under the new Management they can
reach the hospital here within a few
hours.
