HOSPITAL OUJGHOWS QUARTERS
During the past p-ccl: facilities of the
local Hospital have been stretched to
the limit to "ccomnodatc all patients re
cuiring hospitalization. Extra beds
have been squeezed into all possible
snecc making a 15-natient Posnital out

4 beds. At the present tir.10 there aro
eight surgery patients.

space to patients. Pcforc it could be
utilized, horever, an enclosed bridge
had to be constructed to connect the nQT~
ouarters rith the main building. At’
