Will Try to Have Sewerage and
Water Extended.
Meeting Of Property Owners
Saturday Night.
Lutherans Willing to Give Up
Fourth Street Site.

From Tuesdays Daily.
There is possibility, if not prob
ability, that the proposed German Lu-
theran hospital will not be erected up
on the half block on North Fourth
street that was secured of the city, but
where Tourtellotte hospital now stands.
This was the original plan, and it was
abandoned because sewer and water
could not be had there. The extension
of the mains to the Franklin school will
change all this, and it would not be such
a difficult matter to get the sewer and
water extended to the hospital grounds,
six blocks further on.
Indeed, a movement is now on foot to
get the city to extend the water mains
and sewer along Franklin street over to
the hospital grounds. This has been
started by property owners living along
the street, who are anxious to have
sewer connection and water on their
premises. As the assessment would be
heavy, a subscription is being passed
around to raise a fund which will help
defray the expense. 1t is understood
that the hospital association stands
ready to donate 81 500 toward the pro-
ject. When the matter was last up,
it offered to dig half of the excavation,
but it now thinks that the cash donation
plan is the best.
If new hospital was to be built on
the North Fourth street property the
Tourtellotte hospital would be torn
down and the material used in the con-
struction of the new building. First
ward residents do not like the idea of
losing the hospital and are willing to do
something to help keep it there. A
meeting of First ward residents is to
be held Saturday evening to talk the
matter over and try to save the hospital
for that ward by getting sewerage and
water mains to it. When it is ascer-
tanned what amount of money can be
raised, the matter will be brought to
the attention of the city council, prob
ably at the next meeting. Aid. Hampl
at the last meeting gave hint of this.
A committee of prominent first warders
is at work on the matter.
In case it is not decided to build up
on the North Fourth street lots the
latter will revert back to the city under
the terms of their sale to the hospital
association The sale was made at the
very reasonable price of $1,000, and the
hospital association would receive back
this sum. The lots are worth twice that
sum.
Those connected with the hospital as
would much prefer the site of
Tourtellotte hospital for the new struc-
ture than the North Fourth street lots,
because of the greater amount of room,
onger hours of sunshine, greater dry
ness, more circulation of air, etc. They
10 not anticipate that the stone quar-
res will ever be pushed much nearer the
grounds than they are now, and say
hat the blasting does not sound nearly
Is loud there as on the Fourth street
ocation.
If the Tourtellotte site is maintain
ID, it will not be necessary to tear
lown the building, but additional ones
will be erected from time to time, and
he present one remodeled.
