 Want Rockwell Home.
 Steps toward tho circulation of a petition asking that the estate of Park Commissioner Albert r. Rock well. known as "Brishtwood," be bought for a local hospital site be- gan today. Tho contract for the pro- posed hospital on the tract of land given by Judge Roger 5. Newell, off Stearns street, has not been signed as yet so that the directors of the new hospital can, if they desire, transfer the location 10 the Rockwell home. Tho proposed now site, if selected, will make one Of the most magnih- cent hospitals in New England. Spa clous grounds surround the building and Rockwell park adjoins all avail able to patients, advantages, which very few hospitals in the New Eng land states have. The caretakcr's lodge at the entrance of the grounds may be converted into a superintend- ent's home and the si0,000 barn can easily be changed into nurses home. while the house itself can be altered without prohibitive expense. The estate is easily accessible and is yet far enough away from the center Of activities 10 make it an ideal loca- ton for Inc caring of the sick.
 Prominent citizens said this morn- ing that the proposition was a splcn- did one and if taken to vote Of the city at large would be carried almost unanimously. Judge Roger $. New ell. donor Of the present site, said hat the change would not cause him | my disappointment as his desire was Tor the best interests Of inc city and | he best location for the hospital was his wish.
