Ashland Hospital
Bids To Be Asked
In Near Future
Ashland - Arnold Bauder,
chairman of the city hospital
committee, predicted Tuesday
that bidding for construction
of Ashland's new ISt-bcd hos
pital will be so competitive
that the accepted bid "will be
under the amount that we
have to do the job."
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.
Bander reviewed plans
made by the city for a new
hospital during recent years
and displayed the sixth blue
print of hospital facilities.
Architects presently are pre
paring the seventh and final
blueprint, he added.
