City hospital board eyes sixth floor expansion
The hospital board weighs adding a sixth floor to raise capacity from 250 beds to meet anticipated demand. A $150,000 initial top-floor cost, plus elevator work, could avoid higher later prices, with a full project potentially reaching $3,000,000. Trustee McQueen backs leasing options while Broadfoot opposes, noting current capacity suffices till 1966.

Alberta official denies pressure in building material use
Alberta deputy public works minister Arthur Arnold told a commission that no preference was given to a material type because a former provincial cabinet minister was linked to its manufacture in the province. He identified N. E. Tanner as the minister under questioning and said Tanner's son in law makes the material locally. Arnold said the department faced sales pressure but opened tenders publicly since 1955 and could reject the lowest bid.
