WILL RUSH NEW HOSPITAL.
Board of Public Works Agrees to
Help Architect Root.
"I could turn the new hospital over to the city in ten days if I were not continually annoyed by orders from the city hall," declared W. C. Root, one of the architects on the building. He visited the board of public works yesterday to straighten out some bills due contractors.
"This board will assist you. Tell us what you want us to do," suggested R. L Gregory, president.
"There ought to be a key rack made and installed, the gas company should be ordered to install meters and the furniture ought to be put in place," replied Mr. Root.
"If that is all, the secretary of the board will attend to it at once. You ought to be able to have the hospital ready for the new health and hospital board by the time the new charter becomes operative, September 3. Can you do it?"
"I guess so," answered the architect.
