tailed description of the structure are

large force of workmen is now en-

for the structure. plans for which have
been prepared by Nathan C. Wyeth,
architect, of this city.
The building committee sets forth its
views as to the requirements of a mod
ern hospital In the following manner.
"A modern hospital is a health factory
and not an art museum, and with this
Idea in view the external appearance OF
the Emergency Hospital has been kept
simple and dignified, with enough color
ing, glass surfaces and planting to give
1t a cheerful aspect. If the architectural
appearance of the exterior has been sub
dued 1t has been with the idea of devoting
as much as possible of the funds avail
able to the comfort and convenience Of
the patients, doctors and nurses in the
interior arrangements and mechanical
equipment"
