cussed, the Cardwell and Reeves block, Martin Heights, and the Dennis, Kelly & Stratton tract.
 Dr. Aver of the board favored the first named, as 1t would be location comparatively free from noise caused by passing trains, and this was chosen by unani- nous vote.
 The suggestion of L. F. Loree to build an absolutely freproof structure of reinforced concrete, was presented by Mir. Edson, president of the Kansas City Southern. The greatly increased cost was considered, it being al- most 50 per cent added, but it was decided unanimously to fol- low the suggestion, and the ap- proprialion for the building was raised to $65, 900.
 A suggestion was later adopted to remove all restrictions as to amount to be expended, giving the chairman of the board, Mir. Coughliu, full power to have the plans drawn and to receive bids and award contracts for the con- struction of the building. The architects estimate of the cost of the building, as previously an ncunced, was S63, ,0O0.
 Architect Siemans, of the firm of Root & Siemans, one of the best-known firms of architects in the west, was present., and it is i related that before the meeting was adjourned MT. Coughlin in formed Mir. Siemans that now that he had full power to act, he would not tolerate any unnec. essary delay, and that he would have a "sharp stick" for anyone causing such.
 Dr. Davis said that from begin. ming to end of meeting there was no dissension of any kind, every action being sustained by unan' imous vote of the board.
 It is thought that it will take about three weeks to perfect tho working plans, after which thirty days will be required 10 advertise for bids of contractors. From this it would appear that actua constrnction should begin as soor as the weather will permit aftel the middle of January.
 The price agreed upon for ths block of ground, which must sb' paid by the people of Mena al one of the conditions for the loca ton of the hospital previousl, az reed upon, is $l,50O. Reinforced concrete, of whicf the building is to be constructed is rapidly taking the lead among builders as the best material tha can be obtained.

 The above message indicates that there is some recompense even for the long delay in build ing the big railroad hospital in Mena.

 Some months later the appro- priation was raised to S45, 900.
 Now, at the suggestion of l.. K. Loree, chairman of the execu- tive committee of the Kansas City Southern, the hospital asso- citation has decided, through it's directors, to build an absolutely fireproof hospital, estimated cost to be $63, 900.
 A Report of the Meeting. Dr. J. K. Davis, who went to Kansas City Sunday to be present at tue meeting of the board of directors of the Kansas City Southern Employees Hospital Association, returned to Mena Tuesday afternoon.
 Dr. Davis reports that t h c board convened at 10:30 Monday, with all members present. The first business transacted was the formal election of Harry Ravens craft as member of the board.
 The question of Stilwell park as hospital site was taken up and the vote of the board was unanimous to drop that piece of ground from further considera- ton.
