Rieta Graves, reporter. o- Mr. and Mrs. Roy Lleuallen Following a meeting Monday forenoon with Elmer P. Harring ton, of the architectural firm of Roald, Schmeer & Harrington, of Portland, at wheh time revised plans for the Morrow county hospital were reviewed by the hospital committee and physi cians, the court and committee selected the site on the hill prof fered by Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Bar ratt. Aside from the fact that the Barratts had .offered to give the land to the county, it was the immediate choice of the archi tect as the site most nearly meet ing the requirements for the type of building to be placed up on it. Exact location of the building will be settled as soon as some preliminary matters are out of the way. However, the ground chosen lies due east pf the Rich field station, just to give a gen eral idea of the site. The Bar ratts had chosen, that particular site as the location for a new home but both said they would gladly give the county that spot if it meant getting the hospital construction under way within a reasonable time. " Revised plans of the hospital show an expansion in size. In place of 25 to 30 beds there will be 30 beds in the main building and a 10-bed maternity ward in cluding two delivery rooms. The over-all length of the main wing will be 256 feet and the greatest depth 110 feet, covering the main wing and the additional wings. The main wing will run north and south, with the long expos ure on the west side. There will be three additional wings. One will house the surgery, the sec ond the heating unit, kitchen and nurses' quarters and the third the maternity ward. Emphasis has been placed on utility and while type of con struction and materials have not been gone into it is the purpose of the court to hold out for prac tical rather than ornamental features. In other words, a sub stantial building with neat ap pearance on the outside and ev ery convenience for economical and practical operation inside is what the court has in mind and the funds will be used toward that end. Funds raised by taxation the past two years amount to S100,- 036.55, Judge Bert Johnson re vealed this morning. Application is to be made to the govern ment for art allotment, which it is understood will amount to one-third of the construction cost? Present estimates of total cost are in the neighborhood of $180,000. If the local officials are figuring right, the government would put up approximately S75.000. Solving of the financing prob lems will require a little more time and when the money's "in she bag" it will require another :eriod of advertising for bids, studying of same and a myriad of other details before actual ,'onstruction can be started. In the meantime, there may be some adjustment of material uid labor costs which will make the funds go farther at least .hat is in the minds of the hos pital authorities.
