The city‘s request for construction costs on the new incinerator call for bids on two types of buildings, one of modernisitic design featured by istraight line architecture ‘with a flat roof and the other of more orâ€" namental design with a gabled roof. The plans of Flinn & Corrough, supervising architects for the city on ‘the incinerator, call for a red brick building trimmed in stone. The refuse burning equipment will conâ€" sist of two units, each with a caâ€" pacity to handle 15 tons of refuse in eight hours. In addition to housâ€" ing the disposal units the building will include space for the superâ€" intendent‘s office, and a shower and toilet room. A scale and storage capacity for one carload of coal is ‘rlso provided for. The incinerator company awarded the contract will construct the complete unit includâ€" ing both the burning equipment and the building itself. The new fire station will be of the English type of architecture with half timber and red face brick. It will be two stories high and will have an apparatus room capable of housing three pieces of automobile fire fighting equipment.

Hospital To Hold No Formal Observance May 12 The Highland Park hospital is making no formal observance this year of National Hospital Day. May 12 has been set aside nationally to enable the public to become better a@cquainted with its hospitals by visâ€" iting various community institutions. In few cities is the public as close to its hospital as this community is to the Highland Park hospital. Day after day, a steady flow of visâ€" itors enters its doors. ‘These visiâ€" tors have a splendid opportunity to observe the service rendered by the personnel, to become acquainted with the unusually fine equipment housed in the institution, and to get a most favorable impression of the instiâ€" tution and its iparkâ€"like grounds. They find it a quiet, restful place. The new elevator, the recently renâ€" ovated and refurnished reception room and doctor‘s retiring room, the new iron lung provided by the Wauâ€" kegan Newsâ€"Sun, and other innovaâ€" tions make a visit to Highland Park hospital both instructive and interâ€" esting. The Highland Park hospital enâ€" gages and sustains the active interâ€" est of those who reside here and in neighboring towns. In the 22 years since it was established it has solâ€" idly entrenched itself as a useful, indispensable institution. Its superâ€" intendent, Miss Marjorie Ibsen, and the board of trustees, headed by Roderick Macpherson, invite you to take time this spring to visit the hospital and become better acquaintâ€" ed with it and its work. Newcomers in the community will be pleasantly surprised to find such a wellâ€"equippâ€" ed hospital standing ready at all times to minister to their families.
