Board of Aldermen Committee
onStreets Neutrality-suspicious.
Down Project After Hearing
Protests of Residents of Park.

There will be no hospital for the
care of consumptives located in st.
Anthony Park. If the promoters OF the
proposed new hospital carry out their
plans they will have to seek another
location than the one selected by them
at Dudley street and Raymond avenue,
which is two blocks from the buildings
at the state agricultural farm.
Forty residents of the neighborhood
in which it was proposed to erect the
hospital appeared before the committee
on streets of the board of aldermen
yesterday afternoon and made such
strenuous objection to the locating OF
hospital of this nature on the proposed
site that the committee unanimously
declined to adopt the resolution grant
ing a license to the Overlook SAM
tarium company for the erection and
maintenance of such hospital.
The DIRECTORS were principally mem
bers of the ST Anthony Park North
Improvement league, and many of
them declared they would sell their
homes and leave the park if hospital
for the treatment of tuberculosis were
located there. A petition bearing the
names Of eighty property owners in
the vicinity of the proposed hospital
protested against it being located there,
and a number of the professors per-
Col. w. M. Liggett, dean of the state
agricultural school, said the location
of such hospital within two blocks Of
the school would be detrimental to the
schools interest, and that it would be
a menace to the health of not only the
residents of that neighborhood, but
also to the health of the 500 young
students at the state school.
Col. Liggett believed if the hospital
cd in iYl1it "
to the school, the farmers throughout
the state would decline to send their
sons there for an education.
1T would result in nothing short of
calamity" said Col. Liggett, 4and
the damage it would do our school
would be permanent and irreparable.
The state agricultural school is one
of the greatest institutions of learning
in the state and the people of st. Paul
should be the last to place anything
in the way of it's progress"
A number of property owners spoke
along the same lines as Col. Liggett,
and declared it would ruin what prom
ises to be one of the most respectable
residence portions of the city A num-
Der of them declared they would sell
their homes to the highest bidder and
move out of the neighborhood were
the hospital placed there.
I lei 1ACGill LliOQSHL tflG lOCd-
ton was an unwise one for the reason
that it was SO near the state school.
He admitted that such a hospital would
be good thing, butsuggested that some
other location be found.
DR.. H. Longstreet Taylor. ore of the
promoters of the proposed hospital, as
sured the committee that there could
be no danger on account of the. hospi-
tai being located on the proposed site,
and declared the turning down Of the
application for a license would be a
precedent which would result in a fail
ure to secure site in any section of
the city. He produced a petition, sign
ed by thirty physicians of the city,
asking the council to grant the license,
and declaring such an institution would
be of great value to the city.
The committee, however. upon the
motion OF Aid. Dobner, adopted an ad-
