TAKE OVER KERRYILLE
HOSPITAL ON JUNE I
Former Service Men Will
Be Concentrated
There.

Effective June /, the Veterans Blu
reau will take over the American Le-
gion Memorial Hospital at kerrville
under lease, according TO an Associat-
ed Press dispatch from Washington

ton TO the Kerrville institution.
The disqualification board of the
Veterans Bureau at the same time
coneurred in Director Hines proposal
TO purchase the Hahnemann hospital
at Portland. Ore, for a maximum
price of $4,000. Recommendations
that all bids for the hospital project
at Livermore, Cal, be rejected, were
approved. a comprehensive program
for the handling of supplies for ali
bureau activities was approved by the
board. contemplating storage of sup
plies in three depots, one at Perry
vile, Nd, for the Atlantic section,
one. at Chicago for the central states
and another at point yet to be Sc
lected on the Pacific coast. =.
News that the Veterans Bureau had
decided to take over the hospital at
Kerrville came as a distinct surprise
TO American Legion officials in San
Antonio. Although negotiations for
the leasing of this hospital by the
Veterans Bureau have been under way
for some time, nothing definite had
been decided. Representatives from
each of the eighteen districts in Tex
as, composing the executive commit
tee of the American Legion, had
planned TO meet in San Antonio on
April 10 and discuss the proposition.
Taking over Of the hospital by the
Veterans Bureau. it is said. will mean
that ex-service men now at Houston
temporarily and possibly at other
points can be. cared for.
