Bauder, guest speaker at the Ashland Chamber of Commerce's weekly luncheon meeting at Omar's, said the city expects to call for bids in "about six or seven weeks" and that construction should begin by Aug. 1. "The new hospital," Bander continued, "will be very much of an asset to the area." He added that Robert L. Flynn, 34, formally appointed admin istrator by the city council last week, will arrive in Ash land about July 1. His annual salary will be $8,000. Duty in First Year Flynn's main duty during the first year, Bauder said "will be the procurement of materials ' needed to operate the hospital. The hospital will contain 20.800 square feet and can be expanded to a capacity of 39 beds. The building is so designed, Bauder added, that additions, if needed, could be constructed even t u a 1 1 y to make room for 75 beds.
