WILL NOT BUILD
 NURSES HOME NOW
High Building Costs Make Free ton of Adequate Structure
 Improbable This Year
Committee Abandons Further Action
 Until Next Spring

Following a meeting of the building committee of the Nurses Home of the Day kimball Hospital. formal an- nouncement was made this week that plans for building the home have been abandoned for the present. The an- nouncement will come as a great dis appointment Go those who worked SO loyally and so faithfully to make a success of the S20,000 campaign for the home which was conducted throughout last summer.
 Plans for the home were drawn up this winter by the firm of Sunderland & Watson of nanhury. designers of the Tourtellotte Memorial Chapel at the Grove Street cemetery. The plans called for a three-story building which would be adequate to the needs of the hospital now and in the future. When the plans were submitted for bids. however, 1t was found that with the present costs of building 1t would be impossible to erect the building. 1t was hoped that an adequate structure could be built for a cost of about Si0,- GOO. The lowest bid received on the plans proved to be only a little less than S70.000.
 There has been much local gossip prevalent regarding the plans for the home Many have claimed that the building as planned was far too large and too expensive for the hospitals needs. In the opinion of the building committee this is not true. The entire effort has been only to erect an ade- quate fireproof structure
 The committee has decided to aban- don any idea of building the home for at least a year in the hope that ma- terial increases may be made in the present fund during that time. In the spring of next year the committee will again meet and consider revised plans for an adequate building. but one that will probably be smaller in size and cost than that which is called for by the present plans.

 Mir. Austin's wound is not regarded as of serious character.
