TIE NEW HOSPITAL
P|ans Aie For Accommodation ei Eighy
 Patients to Degin With.

The union meeting of tho repre- ssntativcs of the different Catholic societies in St Patrick's hall last night, to further plans for raising funds in aid of the new hospital, was largely attended.
 Father Slocum announced that contributions as follows: $100 from ono party, $25 from another, and . prominent local manufacturer will contribute a boiler of the most mod ern type and will install the same when tho hospital building Is ready to receive it,. This boiler will be of the kind that will heat the building and be amply large to sterilize the various dressings, and will also be the organ that will supply steam or heat in any capacity that may be de- sired in such an institution.
 A plan of the proposed hospital submitted Is as follows, but will be modified and changed if fc',nd neces- sary to produce any new ideas that may not now be thought of:
 The main building will be about 100 feet long and about 50 wide. There will be a basement and four stories. In the basement will be the dining rooms, an emergency operat- ing room with an adjoining recovery room. This operating room will ap- peal to every close observer of up to date surgery and medicine. as here the patient will be cleaned up and rendered immediate aid and placed in suitable condition before remov- ing to the regular ward up stairs. In dressed and rendered comfortable be- fore entering the main wards, thus avoiding the usual anxiety and men, tai pain caused ward patients when a bad accident case is brought into a hospital ward. On this floor also there will be room for violent or delirious patients, morgue and may be some other utility room not now thought of. First floor. chapel, re- ception room, office and children's ward of about six or eight beds. Sec ond floor, wards of two. four, six or eight rooms and private rooms, the latter for those who may wish either one or more rooms, with or without bath. Third floor, about the same as second floor. Fourth floor. main op- erating room. lighted from the sides and above, and private rooms. There will be diet kitchens on each floor convenient to each ward, also drug rooms for each floor. On the south side of the building on three floors will be the solarium rooms or sun parlors, where conyalescents from the various wards may get the southern exposure and benefit of the sun dur ing recovery. An elevator will con- meet all floors. rendering ascent and descent of patients more agreeable.
 The large wooden building that now stands on the site will be romod- eled and turned into nurses home. and one of the other buildings will be fitted up as a laundry.
 The hospital will be able to care for about eighty patients. and from the above will be seen that Water bury Is to have a very modern, liberal and up to date institution. and an ambulance service ever ready to act fin the spirit of St Vincent de Paul.
 It was voted that an executive committee of one from each society be appointed to consider what kind of an entertainment 1t is best to give and where to hold. also to nominate list of prominent officers. The so- cieties represented and make up of the committees chosen are as fol- lows:
