NEW HOSPITAL ANNEX
WILL Be ERECTED
city Hospital Prparing For Big Opera
tons This Summer to Provide
Much Needed Room.

AS will be seen elsewhere in this
paper, the City Hospital is offering for
ale tire house Ne. 105 South Maple
av niue, together with the heating out
If in same. The frame house aiioin-
iag on the north, also owned by the
city Hospital is being torn down and
the other ona is to be removed remcy-
cd by the m ddle of March.
The meaning Of this is that the City
Hospital is going to build big annex
to the pr sent hospital building on the
ste of the two houses mentioned. This
bG lding proposition was decided on
year or mere ago by tbs hospital direc-
tors. but was afterwards abandoned
Until the conditions would be mere
favorable That time has now arrived,
in tia opinion of DR.. T. X. Oates, TIE
hospital superintendent Of
course, by the recent appropriation OF
the gislature-a1d it is felt that they
should strike while the iron is hot.
The plans for the new annex, as pre-
IMred by Architect ]. w. Woltz, CT
Waynesboro, Pa, when the matter
was first agitated, will be used, though
tEey will have to undergo some modi-
,fications inc dent TO larger and bet
ter building than originally intended.
The annex will be three and perhaps
f ur stories high and, like the present
hosrital building. will be of artificial
stone and modernly equipped through
