INSPECTOR VISITS
LAKELAND REGARDING
HOSPITAL SITE

Captain Price of the Surgeon Gen
erals Staff visited Lakeland on Sat
urday last having been brought here
at the urgent request of Congress
man Drane. He was met at the sta
tion by Secretary Holworthy who
spent several hours in going over the
data required by the department and
inspecting the only buildings which
could possibly be offered for the re
quired purposes. While Capt. Price
did not commit himself positively or
any point, his statements regarding
the general requirements and wha,
other towns had offered or were pre-
pared to offer make it very clear that
Lakeland is not in a position to OBJ
tain the location of recuperation OF
base hospital. The department re-
quires as a minimum some building
or buildings already available and
having floor space enough for at
least $50 beds with an opportunity OF
at once increasing this to 500 bed
capacity. the smallest unit contem.
plated.
There is no such building in Lake.
land or vicinity.
Captain Price was charmed with
the town. its progressive appearance
and the general conditions such as
altitude, lakes, railroad facilities, wa
ter and SO on and had Lakeland been
able to offer suitable building she
would probably have been the sue
cessful competitor.
Mr.. N. A. higgins Joined in the
later discussion of this matter and
gave some valuable information re-
garding the auditorium, water pres
sure, etc.
The inspector left early Sunday
morning for Sebring where he will
await further orders from his chief
Col. Edgar, who was unable to visit
Lakeland.
Lakeland has done everything pos
sible in this matter, through her rep
resentatives generally and specifically
The matter was first taken up with
Congressman Drane by the Chamber
of Commerce on December 3rd, fol-
lowed by resolutions, ETC., adopted at
a meeting held in the park on Decem-
Der 9Th. Mr.. Drane has been very
diligent in the matter and was the di.
rect means Of having the inspector
sent to Lakeland.
