Present Site For Hospital Gets Approval

Recommendations for a long range improvement program for Portsmouth General Hospital are expected to be filed with City Council in July. Dr. Herman K. Smith of Chicago, who appraised the hospital, is compiling this report. He may advise keeping the hospital on its present site with rear additions and eventual exterior expansion into the city parking area behind the hospital. He notes a modern X shaped design, air conditioning, and windowless wings. Foundations could support a six story building and future growth would reduce traffic noise on Chillicothe Street. Norfolk & Western rail noise and smoke might be cut if diesel locomotives are adopted.
