EMERGENCY To
DOUBLE PLANT

Doubling the capacity Of Elmer
gency Hospital by building an add.
ton to the present plant on New
York Avenue is the goal plan OF the
board Of directors of the institution,
according to Woodbury. Blair. It's
president.
The Lemon Building, adjoining the
present structure, was recently pur.
chased, and a decision will soon be
reached ais to whether this old Gov
eminent building shall be renodeied
for hospital purposes or a new
structur eerected on the site Of the
present nurses home.
An appeal will be made to the pub
lie for funds as soon as plans are
ready.
The board Of directors declare that
the emergency patients are increas-
ing at such a rapid rate that private
patients. and those who contribute
to the support Of the hospital. often
are forced to seek accommodations
elsewhere.
It is estimated that a public sub.
scrlption Of $250,000 will be neces-
sary for the new facilities.
