Morrison, in announcing the decision .said that erection of a new plant for "the) hospital. _locatedr .on - Gannon street, is absolutely essential to the healh and well-being of the community. Motion for granting the money was made by alder-1 man Alfred O. Halsey who had at first objected on the grounds, he said, the county ought'to un-| derwrite the cost and not the; city. Learning a similar siim was to l>o fur it i sheil by the county^? he withdrew his objection and made the motion for the appro-' priation. Officials said that athird sum of $100,000.00 is also expected from state and privately donated funds, and $300^00(XC0 'from a federal government agency. Dr. T. Carr McFall, a member of -the State Mtedical Advisory j Board, is (medical advisor (and superintendent for the -hospital? whose old plant and facilities; have so deteriorated as to have cost it state recognition for its work.
