HOSPITAL PROJECT
COMMERCIAL CLUB PLANS NEW
HOSPITAL TO COST ABOUT
$50, GOO.

IL was decided last night at a
meeting Of the Commercial club that
the president appoint a committee TO
investigate prices and locations for
site, costs of construction and sen
timent Of the surrounding commu-
nifty for a new and modern hospital
for Madison.
Following a meeting of the board
OF directors Of the Commercial club
the general meeting was called to
order. A member proposed that
means be considered for the erection
Of a modern hospital for Madison.
and suggestions of ways and means
were called for.
1t was urged that the present local
hospital building, while not wholly
inadequate for the purpose, vas lar
from what should be desired in an
institution Of that character. That
The central and accessible location of
the city made a wholly modern build
ing. with up-to-date equipment and
more efficient arrangement, almost Il
necessity for a city of the size OF
Madison.
A tentative proposition was put
forward to plan TO raise part Of the
necessary capital by popular sub
scription or the sale of shares. The
remainder could be gotten then by
mortgage or bond issue. The amount
thought necessary was considered to
be about $4,000. It was not thor
oughly understood whether this
would cover site and building or only
building alone. The equipment
would have to be obtained by other
means to be decided on later. The
idea was expressed that societies
would contribute largely to the fit
ting OF rooms.
Another meeting was decided on
for next Wednesday night, when the
committee appointed will make a re
port ON their investigations, and fur
ther action toward completion of
plans will be had.
