Sisters Decide to Partly
 Reconstruct and Partly Replace Building Which Fire so Badly Damaged


 Settling the claims for the fire dam age to the Sisters hospital at S1S,O0J and to the contents at $3,000, the hos pital has $21, 900 towards the recon struction work, which will be under taken at once A comprehensive plan has been formulated for the recon struction which will include partly re- placing the old building by using the perfectly good walls already standing and by building brand new, fireproof building on the Fifth street side.
 The new building will extend back for a depth of 75 feet and will be three stories and basement high. In it will be three complete modern operating rooms, two large ones for general oper- ations and a smaller one for special surgery, such as that for the eye. There is to be an X-ray department and a most complete examination room. This building alone will cost about S30,00O and the contract for it will be let as soon as the architects have the specifications complete
 One novel feature of the new build ing, which will be a surgical structure in reality. will be the inclined ways to the different floors. On these pa tients can be rolled from floor to floor.
 The deciding factor in making the plan to reconstruct partly on the old walls was the fact that the loss to de- stroy. all of the old walls would amount to $50,000. The architects and insur- ance people argued against this waste as the walls are in splendid shape. To make the section to be rebuilt. as nearly fireproof as possible metal lath will be used throughout and all wires will be laid in conduits This section will have a flat roof upon which will be built special ward for tubercular sufferers. On this third floor there will be a vcranda all around on the outside in- stead of hallway down the center
 Throughout the new building spe- cial signal system will be placed. Any patient by pushing button will flash a red lamp in front of the room door and another over the superintendent desk. while a third will glow over the station of the nurse in charge. There is also to be built a new heating sys- tenn for the entire hospital plant which will be housed in d special building, while a new chapel outside the hos pital buildings will be constructed in the southeast corner of the property just east of the nurses home.
 The completed hospital will have accommodations for 150 people in stead of for only 75, as the old one had. and the improvements will cost over s75,000, the rebuilding alone costing about SAP 000
 On October l, prior to the fire, new superintendents and a nurse for the surgical operating department were brought to the institution. Miss Crow loot, from Johns Hopkins, is the new day superintendent, Miss Higgins from 1he California hospital in Los An Seles is the night superintendent, while Miss DevereauX from the Pasadena hospital is the nurse for the operating department.
 Work has already been commenced in cleaning out the partly burned building, and part of the rejuvinated structure will be ready for occupancy in four weeks. The work in this sec tion of the building will be done by the day with cost guarantee.
