FIND ROOM IN
1914 UNITS FOR
MANY PATIENTS
Health Board Busy With
Plans Following Fire
Marshal's Order.
IMPROVEMENTS IN VIEW

Vacant space in the two units of the
city hospital built in 1914 sufficient to
house from fifty TO seventy five patients,
thereby caring for the number now kept
in the building ordered RACED by the
State fire marshal Thursday, was discov-
cred today by DE. Z. Hodgin. chair
man. and DR.. Goethe Link, member OF
the board Of public health. DR. Hodgin
and Dr. Link planned TO spend most Of
the day going over the hospital to ascer-
tain just how much construction is
needed to make the institution large and
modern enough to suit the present needs.
2 UNITS AND NURSES
HOME NEEDED.
FOm the investigation D.. Hodgin said
he believes there will have to be two
new units for patients and a nurses home
building built. This would replace the
old unit to be torn down and provide
facilities to eliminate the present highly
undesirable overcrowding Such con
struction would cost from 100000 to
S4G0O09 1t was said
When Mayor Samuel Lewis Shank
heard that the State fire marshal had or
dered the old building torn down as a
fire hazard he Immediately announced that
he intends to ask the city council to au-
construction. The fire marshaI's order
gives the city 100 days in which to stop
using the old building.
NURSE HOUSING
BIG PROBLEM.
One Of the big problems of the hospital
for several years has been the housing
Of student nurses. Accommodations for
them have been described as highly I'M
desirable upon a number of occasions and
the former board Of health had plans
prepared for q nurses home building to
cost between 100000 and 5000 600.
DR.. Hodgln said that he believes the
plans for development Of the hospital
by the addition Of wings, worked out in
1914, Is practical for the proposed con-
struction. Two new wings were added
In 1914 but the plan has not been carried
on since. The design is such that any
number of Identical units could be buiIl
to the present plan.
