Municipal hospital plan eyed by council and School Board
A proposal to convert the East Side School building into a nineteen ward municipal hospital has been presented to the City Council and School Board. Architectural estimates place conversion at about 13000 dollars, with a bond issue of 25000 dollars to buy the building and grounds and help liquidate school debt. If approved, the winged building offers ideal access and sewer and water connections, reducing reliance on distant sanitariums.
