PLAN LABORATORY
MOLINE HOSPITAL
AS AN AID IN WORK
Especial Moline Service }

A pathological and meteorological
laboratory for the Moline city hos
pita1 is under discussion by the staff
or physicians of the institution and
will be taken up with the directors
by them. 1t is now necessary to
send blood and other tests to the
state laboratories at Springfield,
which, of course, takes considerable
time. The cost of such equipment
would increase the city's expenses
in connection with the hospital only
slightly, as fees sufficient to pay
practically the entire cost would be
collected
There are at present rs beds in
the institution. Those in authority
at the hospital say the number
should be doubled
