The new elevator is located on the north side of the building in the court between the old building erected in 1918 and the west wing constructed in 1924. It has a grade entrance enabling ambulances and motor cars to be driven directly to the elevator, that patients may be received with greater convenience and more expeditiously than with the old, outâ€"moded equipment. Micro selfâ€"leveling means the eleâ€" vator will always stop level with the floor which is of course, most imâ€" portant in a hospital. There will be no wrestling with doors when riding on this elevator for they are both opened and closed quietly and safely by electricity. The old elevator and shaft are to be dismantled within the next few weeks. The space will be remodelâ€" led to provide a room on the second floor for patients and on the first floor additional office space. The technical name for this type of elevator is Finger Tip Collective Micro Selfâ€"leveling Finger Tip meanâ€" ing a touch of a button with the tip of one‘s finger will send the elevator to any floor desired. Collective means that the elevator will stop and collect all other passengers wishâ€" ing to go in the same direction as the original passenger who first pressed the button. The building of the vestibule, the construction and remodeling necesâ€" sary for the new shaft and the inâ€" stallation of the elevator was comâ€" pleted under the supervision of Schmidt, Garden and Erickson, hosâ€" pital architects and consultants, This firm has been retained by the hospital board since last November to make recommendations in the board‘s future plans for increased hospital facilities. The new elevaâ€" tor, manufactured and installed by the Otis Elevator company, is of the most modern design. It has every known safety device and is esâ€" pecially adapted for hospital servâ€" use. This modern and much needed improvement has been made possible by a gift of $10,000 from the Women‘s Auxiliary of the hospital â€"money earned and saved by that organization over the past 18 years. The gift is a memorial to Dr. Daniel Weston Rogers, who passed away in 1981. For 12 years Dr. Rogers was a member of the hospital staff and one of Highland Park‘s cherished Memorial to Dr. Daniel Rogers Is Completed at H. P .

Simpson, chairman of the council licensing commiitee, reported that the proâ€" posed measure to charge a $10 fee for transferring liquor licenses was in conflict with the state law and therefore was not to be considered further.
