LAUNDRY FOR
CITY IS NEXT

A laundry will be provided by the
city at the isolation hospital. This
was decided yesterday after two
members of the board of public
works had visited the hospital and
looked over the situation.
1t has been decided to have the
work done under the direction of a
city foreman of construction, in
stead of having it done by contract,
as the need for the laundry is i'm
perative. AS a consequence it was
deemed wise to go ahead with the
work at once and not take the time
necessary for advertising for bids
and letting regular city contract
