Col. II. +. Whitledge has received
from Washington, ID. C., plans for
the proposed new 250-bed unit to the
L. ). z. II. Hospital No. IS, at Fort
Bayard. and now has them under
consideration for approval. As the
plans were drawn from suggestions
given by Col. Whitlcdge on his recent
visit to Washington they are likely
to meet with his approval without
undue delay which will bring nearer
the date OF beginning OF actual con-
struction.
The emergency which exists in the
providing OF suitable accommodations
Tor disabled cX-scrvice men and the
TACT that Fort Bayard stands as the
best OF all the big tubcrcular hospi-
tails are the factors which serve to
hasten the work of construction. The
fact that the passing Of tile appro-
priation OF SS5o,000 Tor Font Bayard
was announced on June p and that
the plans are now under final con
sidcralion indicates a clcrity OF az
ton that is rarely characteristic OF
government methods.
Ia addition to the permanent $50
bed unit the plans call for a new
sewage disposal plant and many otncf
Improvements which will add to the
