housing
seven
Japanese
families
shortly
after
midnight
last

TO

LARGER
HOSPITAL
Decided

Complete
Seventy-Bed
Unit

Contract
Signed
A
contract
was
signed
thi
2
White
Construction
Co.
Ltd.
and
the
board
of
directors
of
the
Prince
Rupert
General
Hospital
for
the
building
of
a
complete
new
70-bcd
reinforced
concrete
unit
for
the
local
hospital
instead
of
the
partially
completed
unit
of
47
beds
which
had
been
at
first
contemplated.
The
contract
figure
is
$113,721.
The
good
response
which
has
been
met
in
the
sale
of
hosr'tal
bonds
has
made
it
possible
for
the
building
to
be
completed.
Already
bonds
to
the
extent
of
$19,000
have
been
taken,
leaving
$15,000
yet
to
be
sold.
There
will
be
no
difficulty
in
selling
these,
it
is
believed.
The
construction
will
start
as
soon
as
the
question
regarding
lane
encroachment
of
the
site
is
settled.
The
first
sub-contract
to
be
let
is
that
for
plumbing
awarded
to
Smith
&
Maltett.
It
is
hoped
to
be
able
to
use
local
gravel
in
