fully explained the situation.
w. H. Hannaford, one of the best
known hospital architects in the east,
was ordered to draw the plans and to
embody within them all the essentials
of an absolutely modern hospital. The
plans were finally accepted about a /

for bids. Following the award of the |
contract, Patrick Mills, the local -archi-
tect, was chosen to supervise the work |
of construction.
The residence on the corner below |
the hospital has been purchased, and |
a portion of the lot will be used for a |
power house big enough to heat and |
furnish light to the entire institution !

pleted st. Marys hospital will be one
OF the biggest hospitals in the state.
