LARGER PLANS
 FOR SANITARIUM.
B'NAl BIRTH WILL SPEND $10o,0oo INSTEAD OF $62, 900, AS OR.
 lGiNALLY PLANNED.
Laser and Rhine Return From District Convention at Galveston With a
 Glowing Report on Institution.

When the B'Nai Brith sanitarium is established on the lots donated by the government on Prospect avenue. in this city. the building will be about 30 per cent larger than originally con. templated, anu will cost $100000 in stead of the $62,OO0 which was origi nally intended to cover the cost.
 This glowing report is brought back from the seventh district convention, BiNai Brith, held at Galveston, where Mir. Dave Laser and Rabbi Rhine of this city were delegates. The seventh district is composed of the states of Tennessee, Alabama. Mississippi, Flor ida, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas.
 The building committee and the building fund committee each made their report to the district convention. showing that the sum of s62,000 had been raised for the santarium, and also submitting the plans for the handsome structure
 When these were turned over to the board of governors, this body decidei that the structure was not large enough. nor the designs fer the into. rior quite as handsome and costly as should obtain in a building of this kind, so the whole matter was re- ferred back to the committees, to have the plans increased to care for a $100,000 structure, and to have this fund raised to $10o,OOO.
 Tt is the opinion of Mir. Laser that it will require about four months time to increase the fund to $100.000, and the building committee has been giv- en authority by the district conven- ton to proceed with the work just as soon as this money is raised, but not until it is all raised. This means that the actual work on the new national sanitarium will be started during the fall months.
