Watertown Amusement Hall Dormitory and Standpipe Planned
The Illinois legislature will be asked in January to fund a new fireproof amusement hall at Watertown to replace the hall destroyed by fire, a dormitory for female employees, and a 100000 gallon standpipe for the Illinois Western Hospital for the Insane. The former building housed bowling, billiards, and concerts and served patients and staff. the new plans also aim to improve fire protection with artesian water, though current supply is insufficient for large fires. There are 1400 inmates with accommodations for 1450, and overall estimated needs for state charitable institutions total about 8 million dollars over two years.
