Plan Is Bed Vino
For Children AT
County Hospital.

Filing of preliminary applica-
ton for a grant of state and
federal funds for the construc-
ton of a pediatric wing at the
Jackson County hospital was au-
thorized by the board of supervis-
ors' meeting at the courthouse
Tuesday.
Action of the board followed
a lengthy discussion of the pro-
posed wing between board men,
bers and a delegation of citizens
attending the meeting.
Present plans call for the con-
struction of an l8-bed wing con-
tanning an isolation suite, which
would cost $100, 600. Also includ-
ed in the plans is a laundry to
adequately serve the entire hos
pital which would cost an ad-
ditional $1,000. OF the total of
$150,000 for the additions the
county's share would be one
third, or $4,000. The State Hos
pital Commission and the federal
government would assume the
other two-thirds, or $4,000 each.
Contain 10 Beds
The proposed wing, which
would be constructed at the rear
of the present hospital building,
would contain II beds in semi
private rooms, two beds to the
room, and six single rooms with
one bed each which would be
used as the isolation wing.
The drive for the construction
of the children's wing was start
ed more than two years ago by
Pascagoula Lodge No. 1920, B.
P. o. Elks, through its Crippled
Children's Fund.
Attending Tuesdays meeting
was a delegation of Elks includ-
ing c. B.. Roberts, w. A. Mon
Grief and Tom Sudduth.
Also attending the meeting were
Mayor John r. Watts of Pasca-
goula; DIR. d. v. Galloway, ex-
ecutive director of the state COM
mission for hospital care; Drs.
S. B. McIlwain and w. j. Wea-
therford, representing the Coun-
ty Medical Society; Mrs. w. B.
Robertson and Mrs. George
Winter, representing the Civic
Council, architects who present
ed drawings of the proposed
wing, and other interested citi-
zenS.
Plans for financing the county's
share of the cost occupied most
of the discussion. Mr.. Roberts
pointed out that the Elk's Lodge
has already raised, or has in
sight, a total of SIT, 200.

State Appropriation
To$25O,0OO;N Next To House
BY The Associated Press

Jackson, Miss, April 1.-Two
measures designed to give Pas
cagoula a wider and deeper ship
channel progressed through the
Mississippi legislature today.
Passed by the Senate and sent
to the House were:
Senate Bill No. AL, which
would appropriate $500 BOO to be
expended through the Pascagoula
Port Commission to widen and
deepen the present ship chan
mel.
Senate Bill No. 700, which
authorizes Jackson county to is
sue bonds in a sufficient amount
to complete the projects.
The appropriations bill as or
iginally introduced in the House
and Senate proposed a $750,000
state appropriation. The Senate
finance committee amended the
bill to its present $250,00
Presenting the substitute bill to
the Senate, Senator John Kyle
of Sardis, chairman of the fl
nance committee, said the APP
preparation was conditioned on
Jackson county supplying an
equal amount or more.
U. S. Engineers TO Supervise
The bilP specified that the
money shall be spent under the
supervision and on the advice
of the United States Engineers"
1t is to be used "for the pur-
pose of dredging, deepening and
widening the ship channel from
Horn Island Pass to the L & N
Railroad Company bridge across
the East Pascagoula river in
Jackson county 30 a depth of 80
feet and a width of 275 feet, and
for the purpose of deepening and
widening the channel across Horn
Island bar to a width of 1926 feet
and a depth of 35 feet
Similar purposes r outlined
in the bond authorization bill.
An election would be required to
determine whether a majority OF
electors favor the issuance. The
election would be held if 20 per
cent of the electors p%etitioned for
it.
The bonds to be issued by the
county would bear an interest
rate not exceeding six per cent
and would mature in rs years.
Both bills provide for reim-
bursement of the county and
state when and If the Federal
government should appropriate
funds sufficient to cover the cost
of the project.
Various estimates on the cost
of the work range from $450,000
to approximately 100000.
State Senator Beavers, repre-
senting Jackson county, and
Jackson County Representative
Hermes F. Gautier both predict
ed early passage of the bill in
the House, and if such passage
is gained indications are that the
governor will sign them.

q bill was passed by the house

mum of 450 weeks at 66 2-3 per
cent of the wage received by the
injured worker.
The law would be administered
by a three-man board appointed
by the governor. The statute
would apply to all firms or cor
porations hiring eight or more
workmen. Farm and domestic ser
wants are exempt.
Many lawmakers considered the
workmen's compensation act the
last of the major controversial
issues facing this session. Others
such as prohibition, black marke'
tax and aid-to-cities, had beer
disposed of in previous weeks
The senate this week also a
mended and sent back to th'
house a bill that would reduce the
