new HOSPITAL.
The Corporation has determined to
raise a fund to build a hand
some and well equipped
structure.
ADDITION BADLY NEEDED.

The Corporation of the Joseph
Ratti Hospital at its meeting on
Monday took a step which will
mean much, not only to Blooms

community.
The decision was made to raise a
fund of twenty thousand dollars to
which an additional ten thousand
will undoubtedly be added by the
State, to erect a new building ad-
joining the present structure, The
old binding will be used for ad-
ministrative purposes, and for op-
Grating.
The building will be of brick
with Indiana limestone trimmings,
three stories above the basement
which will be almost entirely above
ground. Provision is made for four
public wards, two each for male and
female patients; one for male medi-
cal and one for surgical and same
for female patients. Three wards
will accommodate twenty patients
and under extraordinary circum-
stances may be increased to thirty
patients.
There will be fourteen rooms for
private patients which are intended
for one patient in each, but the
rooms will be sufficiently large to
accommodate two if necessity re-
qu:res. The new building is also
provided with an emergency room,
directors room, staff consulting
room, waiting room, diet kitchens,
toilet rooms, and all other requisites
Tor a first class modern hospital.
The kitchen, general dining room,
boilers, ETC., will be located in the
basement. The new building is to
be connected on the first and second
floors to the present building with a
wide corridor, with easy access 10
the operating room which will re-
main where it is at present located.

at the meeting on Monday at
which the following gentlemen

president; l.. N. Meyer, vice presl.
dent; f. G.. Yorks, treasurer, and

Mr.. Magee has been member

never been a more active and ag-
gressive member than he has been.
