NEW ASYLUM BUILDINGS
Beard of Trustees Authorized Com
pletiou of Two Large Structures BY
Contractor Wilson.

The board of hospital trustees held
its 6rsC meeting Tuesday since the
adjournment Of the legislature and
authorized the completion of two
new buildings for fepale patients, one
a ward, the other wing. The two
structures were planned two years
ago but, from lack of revenues were
not completed. The contractor had
proceeded as far as excavating and
building the basement for the ward
building when all work was suddenly
stopped as the state had no money
to pay the bills because the court
held that the bonds issued therefore
exceeded the debt limit and became
state Obligations. Since then the
state has taken up the bonds or is
ready to do so on April l, and the
new bonds take the place of those
paid for and will provide funds for
hospital improvements. Contractor
Wilson of Fargo was present and will
arrange at once for the construction
of the two buildings as originally
planned by the architect.
A new boiler will also be needed to
supply heat for the new buildings.
If the Governor dCes..not veto the
asylum appropriation bills by items
there will be enough money to erect
in addition to the above buildings
a cold storage building and new
hospital building. bids Tor the con-
struction of which, will be advertised
for in April. The cost of the wa1d
building and wing which the board
authorized to be completed yesterday,
will be the same as the original con-
tract made two years ago, namely
s54, 700, less few changes such as
cutting out the metal lath. and some
other changes, which reduce the
cost 81. 700. Bids for hospital supplies
will be advertised in April when the
new board enters on it's duties.
All members were present yesterday
except Mr.. Elkins.
