Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Weekly Star, March 21, 1930, p. 1. NOTE: The item below was abbreviated from the original as noted by the ellipsis. $100,000 WING FOR HOSPITAL PLAN OF BOARD New Facilities to Be Installed Here The construction of a wing on the present Bloomington Hospital that would cost approximately $100,000 is being planned by the hospital board in conjunction with the local Council of Women, according to Mrs. J. B. Wilson, president of the hospital board. Although definite plans have not been formulated, it is the intention of the board to construct a 20-room addition, three stories high, at the rear of the present hospital. The wing would include private rooms, a ward, nursery, new operating room, anesthetic room and obstetrics laboratory, Mrs. Wilson said Thursday. New and modern hospital facilities will be installed in the hospital. The board plans to order drawing up of specifications for the new unit next month, and methods for financing the structure will be considered at that time. The present hospital is very inadequate since it can accommodate only approximately 30 patients. The new wing will be built of stone of the same pattern as the present building, and it will be fireproof.
