er environment, is progressing will:
some speed now, but it is hardly likely
that work upon the buildings can be
started under a couple of months. The
ground at Glen Gardner. Hunterdon
County, secured after a long search for
a suitable site. is being placed in readi-
ness for the actual work of construc-
ton, which has been delayed by the
necessarily tedious detail of drawing
plans u working out the intricacies
OF ventilation, lighting, heating and
drainage. In an interview at Sea Girt
camp Governor Murphy said plans had
been drawn for the proposed buildings
n submitted to the commission whom
ne appointed to De approved. The
chairman OF this committee is DIR.
Charles W. Kipp. of Newark. The GEN
eral plan of the architects was ap-
proved, but there were some minor de-
tails which required the redrawing of
the plans, and craftsmen are now at
work on them. The Governor also
stated that he considered the commit
tee a very competent one to carry out
the general idea of the proposed hospi-
tai, n that he hoped to see the build
Ing completed and in use before his
term OF office expires. The State
Legislature made an appropriation of
S3O0,OOO for the proposed hospital. the
IDEA being to erect a building to which
the durable consumptive poor covld be
taken for treatment. Only such eases
as are durable will be received. and
those which might become incurable a
very short time il left without treat
ment will be given preference. The
understanding that 100000 me-
would be appropriated for the compile
ton OF the building and the construc-
ton OF an easy road through the
grounds was made known at the time
OF the appropriation by the Legislature.
Inc commission Immediately went to
work at the task of selecting a suitable
site for the building, and after looking
at sites in Monmouth and Sussex coun-
ties. decided on the one at Glen Card
ner, which 0yerlOOkS the Delaware
River. The site is a tract of 900 acres.
and the building will be built upon a
high blum directly on the river and at
n highest point of the preserve, about
SO feet above the sea level. There is
an admirable view from the spot. ii
being doubtful if a more beautiful and
at the same time healthy place is to be
found In the State. The air is very
pure, and the preserve is covered with
thousands Of pine trees.
