would include utility services such as boiler room and kitchen with a 150bed wing in the second floor and another 150bedl on the third floor i reeve phillips noted preliminary studies have proven th

addition could save the county a consider able amount of money over an earlier proposal to build an entirely separate home for the aged on another site we have plenty of land there he suggested when the first 132bed addition to the original 19521 manor was opened in 1961 department officials said the building had reached its limit and if more accommodation wat needed for aged residents a new site would be needed however the board has learned through preliminary discussion with archi tects that the site would still be suitable for a large addition and at a considerable saving of money another lector in the boards decision to add to the pre sent location was the availability of the large auditorium admini stration centre laundry staff residence end chapel in the pre sent manor which could
