the new Missouri Pacific depot, the con-

respect The building of a hospital here
has been revived. and before the close
of the year will no doubt see a modern
hospital at cost of not less than $15,-

and other physicians are the prime
movers in the enterprise. With the
above improvements under way and
others contemplated. the question is
that the guess that Beloit will expend
$3.50. 600 in improvements this year IS
wide of the mark. and that 1t Will |
reach a higher figure.
