PLAN GOOD WATER SUPPLY
Big Tank Will Be Erected for Storage of
Water at Sanatorium-Board Have
Annual Frolic Thursday Evening as
Guests of Chairman John Sparta.

Plans suggested by Architect Joseph
Lindl for the administration building
for Willowbrook Sanatorium were Sc
lected by the county board at its meet
ing on Tuesday afternoon and the work
of building the new home for the nurses
will be started just as soon as the wea-
Their will permit. The plans were Sc
lected by ballot, the Lindl plans reeeiv-
ing eleven votes to six cast for the
plans offered by White, White and
White.
The plans as selected provide for the
erection of commodious brick build
ing, two stories and a basement. 1t
is conveniently arranged to make
model home for the women employed in
various capacities at the Sanatorium
The basement floor has large storage
rooms, boiler rooms, laundry and iron
ing room. The first floor will have
reception room, dining room, kitchen,
a laboratory and three bed rooms while
on the second floor there will be seven
bed rooms. The arrangement is such
as to make certain that them employed
people at the Sanatorium will be well
taken care of for years to come.
While the cost of the administration
building will be slightly in excess of
the appropriation which has bee2 made
by the county board it is not thought
that there will be any delay in the
completion of the building as such
funds as may be needed to supplement
the appropriation may be taken from
the funds appropriated for the run
ming expenses of the Sanatorium. The
building will have a heating plant eli
tirely separate from the other build
ing at the institution and the Board at
its session made adequate provision
for the building of water tower
which will supply water at all times
no. only for this building but also for
the sanatorium and the farm buildings.
The size of the tank to be placed at
the institution is TO be decided by the
Board of Trustees and they are to have
full power to proceed with the erection
Of it.
The water will be pumped from the
well at the farm house BIZ a wind
mill and the members Of the board be-
lieve that this will furnish an adequate
supply Of running water, not only for
the buildings but also for use in case
fire protection may be needed. The
water tank is to be put up just as soon
as the weather conditions will permit.
At the session Of the board Prof. K.
L. Hatch appeared and gave a very in
teresting talk ON the work that is being
done to mobilize the boy power to aid
the farmers during the coming season.
Reports were rendered to the 2oard by
the County Treasurer and the County
Highway Commissioner and these were
referred to the regular committees.
The Board had it ANIMAL frolic on
Thursday night and it was some frolic.
All members attended a theatrical per-
fclmance at the Virginia theatre after
which they were the guests Of Chair
man John Spartz at dinner. Covers
were laid for twenty guests and it was
dinner rather than a talk-fest. There
were no speeches. After dinner was
over the members of the Board were
the guests of the Elks of the County
Board at the Elks Club where an in
formal smoker was put on in their
honor.
