It faces this $4,000,000 sanitarfum, which is going up right here. You get off the street car here, for instance, and on your way home you pass the house of Dr. Cuttem, one of the greatest living surgeons, who will be chief surgeon at this hospital. He will erect a $100,000 house here, and you pass in front of it going home in the evening from Miami. Think of that."
