Sept. 1922.
For the information Of our Mobiles,
we give below synopsis of the prog
ress made in connection with the var
ious Crippled Children's Hospitals to
date:
Twin Cities Hospital
This hospital is located on the River
Boulevard about half way between
Minneapolis and St. Paul. UP to July
31st, 1922, there had been expended
on this hospital total of $46,769.42.
The frame work for the roof of the
west ward of the hospital is all up,
the walls of the garage are completed
for the first story and the walls of the
main building are almost finished for
the walls Of the east ward within a
very short time, and everything in
connection with the work at the Twin
Cities Hospital is progressing salts
factorily. The Board of Trustees will
meet at this hospital on September
25th, when the Cornerstone will be
laid by the Grand Master of Masons
in Minnesota and the address for the
occasion will be made by Imperial
Potentate James S. McCandless.
Shreveport Hospital
The hospital at Shreveport is pro-
crossing very rapidly. There has
been expended on this building up to
the first of August $40, 1891. The
frame building on the ground selected
for the site of the Shreveport Hospital
has been moved to an advantageous
place and fitted up to be used as a
temporary clinic. DR.. Caldwell, who
has been appointed surgeon-in-chief,
for the Shreveport hospital, will ar
rive in Shreveport about September
18th land shortly thereafter will be
prepared to receive a few patients for
care and treatment during the time
the main hospital is under construc-
! ton. 1t is very gratifying to know
that there are to be some actual cases
treated at Shreveport within a very
short time now, and all Of the Mobiles
in this section of the country are very
much interested in the progress Of the
work. Foundations are all complet-
ed and the frame work of the hos
pital is well past the first story. Act
ual construction work is now going on
upon the walls Of the main building.
San Francisco Hospital
The cornerstone of this hospital
was laid on June 18th by Imperial
Potentate Ernest A. Cuts. The
work upon the building is progress
ing splendidly. The walls are we'll
past the first floor and the frame
work for the whole building is prac-
| tically completed. About the same
amount expended for work to August
| 1st as at the other hospitals (actual
| figures not at hand.
Montreal Hospital
Late advices are to the effect that
the city authorities have finally en-
acted the necessary legislation to per-
mt the erection Of hospital on the
plot Of ground heretofore selected by
the committee, purchase Of which has
been held up because existing ordin-
ances prohibited the building Of hos
pital in tina tarea. The site for the
hospital has now been purchased and
the plans are being prepared.
St. Louis Hospital
| The committee in charge of the St.
Louis Hospital met in that city on
August 10th, at which time bids were
opened and the contract awarded for
the erection Of the hospital at that
point at total cost Of 1870, 100000.
The work will be begun Immediately
and will be pushed as rapidly as pos
sible, the plans having already been
submitted and approved.
The information contained in this
Bulletin has been submitted to US by
the Board Of Trustees of the Shriners'
Hospital for Crippled Children with
the request that we give it broad pub
licity and they also recommended that
it be placed before our entire member
ship. Similar bulletins will be issued
from time to time, giving information
in regard to the progress Of the work
Yours in Faith,
c.. N. BARNES, Recorder.
