Now that the plans for the building are practically completed and the funds available, all that remains to be done before actual construction work <•«" be started is for the Board to agree on the location of a site. Several locations are under consideration and it is expected that a decision on the one most favorable will be reached within a few days. Recently a committee of men interested in the project visited a number of places in and adjacent to McHenry including the Peterson farm, the Mill Pond property behind St. Mary's church, Blake's farm, Walsh's farm and another 160-acre piece of land which at one time was used for sanitarium purposes and is now very favorably considered by the commits tee on location. While the final decision as to the location of a site it to be made by the Board of Governors, much depends upon the advice and suggestions to be offered by F. C. Howard, of the Howard Foundry Co., of Chicago, who is interested financially, and Paul Gerhardt, a Chicago architect, and his son, Paul, Jr., who is associated with his father in business and who assisted in drawing plans for the sanitarium. The building is to be a four-story and basement structure, will cost at least $600,000, and will have a total length of 200 feet. It is the intention of those interested in the project to make this one of the most modern institutions of its kind in the entire country. Space win be provided for the accommodation of 100 beds in private rooms and small wards. Provision is also made for the estaljh lishment of a training school fOT nurses and an opportunity afforded 'local girls to study this line of endeavor. Two major and one minor operating rooms, equipped with the most modern instruments known to i medical science, will be included in the plan and the labratory and emergency sections will be in charge of experts. 'Two children's department and the maternity hospital section will be the best possible. These latter will fill a long felt want in this community. It is estimated that when finished the Institution will be one of the greatest achievements McHenry has ever known and will also be a great benefit to humanity in general. Sisters from the church will be in attendance at all times and a group of Provincial of Sacred Heart Nuns from Pennsylvania had a conference recently with the Board of Governors and approved the plans, as did Rev. W. A. OTtourke, of St. Patrick's, all of whom axe co-operating in every way possible to make the project a success. In addition to Dr. Harry F. Rand, who is chief of staff, the other members of the staff are Dr. Stanley J. Norys, of the Her.rctin and Polyclinic Hospitals, Chicago, and Dr. Emery Grimm, who up to a short time ago was on the staff at SaeMd Heart Sanitarium, Milwaukee. < PURCHASES RIVERSIDE DRIVE ,PROPERTY KIWANIS CONVENTION, MAY BE HELD HERE Housing Facilities Offers Handicap Roy A.

The youth was hit and knocked down by another automobile as he leaped from the car in which he had been riding. The accident occurred at 9 o'clock in the evening in front of the Koostra farm home, located on the Zenda road one mile west of Hebron. * The death of the boy was a terrible ending to the celebration of the boy's tenth birthday which had been taking place during the day. Young Koostra was returning to his home from Hebron at the time of the accident, and had been given a "lift" along with some otber young boys, in a car driven by Dean Ellison of Hebron. As the car neared the Koostra home, Ellison slowed down, but the boy not waiting for the car to come to a stop, leaped off, the momentum of the moving machine causing him to momentarily lose his balance. Close behind the Ellison machine was another automobile driven by Earl Judson of Hebron and into the path of Judson:s car Koostra stumbled. Judson shoved on his brakes and tried to avoid striking the boy, but to no avail. The boy was struck and knocked to the roadway. Both machines stopped and the occupants-^assisted in carrying the dying boy into his home, where he died a few minutes later. John Koostra is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Koostra. The Koostra family, natives of Holland, came to the vicinity of Hebron two years ago, and since that time, had rented the Harlan Wilson f«MB. Beg Pardaa!
