Hospital Plans At
Reedsport Begun
REEDSPORT The hospital
committee of tho Reedsport
chamber of commerce conferred
Saturdav with J. A. Annand. ar
chitect of the Portland firm of
Annand & Kennedy, relative to
the building of a small hospital
in this city. Mr. Annand has
not only designed and superin
tended construction e large
buildings for this purpose but
also a number of such as is
needed here. Ho looked over
two sites under proposal and af
ter making a complete study
will advise the committee on his
selection and also submit rough
drafts of what he believes will
answer tho present need.
At the present time but one
doctor is serving this large com
munity and since his health is
not the best, Dr. Eastland feels
that he cannot give the service
necessary for the community.
Every effort Is being made by the
chamber committee to Induce
another physician to locate here
and the proposed building of a
small hospital Is felt to be a
step In that direction. Florence
and Coos Bay physicians state
that if the proper facilities are
provided to care for cases they
will be able to assist, at least for
s time, by making frequent nec
essary visits to assist in tne
care of local cases.
Mill owners, timber and saw
mill owners and wods operators
are behind the movement iin
anclally and the way is being
cleared through government
agencies for the necessary as
sistance to push this matter to
completion. There is a place
open here for one or more phy
sicians and surgeons to locate
and step into a gooa practice.
