Onepackage NEEDS FARM AND NEW WORKHOUSE ther Out, Where Land Could Be Had to Raise Crops. LET INMATES DO THE WORK The county commissioners are heartily in favor of legislation to re- lieve crowded conditions and inade- quate facilities at'the county hospital and also for the purchasing of a large tract of land and the construction of a poor farm and workhouse. . The sentiment of the county fathers was expressed when Dr. W. O. Bridges, M. A. Hall and A. C. Arend, representing the city health and hos- pitals committee of the Commercial club, appeared before the commission- ers to ascertain what their attitude was in regard to any measures to be taken for such legislation. Frank C. Best, one of the commis- | sioners, believes that the county hos- pital should be a separate institution at which medical cases only would be cared for. It is his idea that the por far mand workhouse could be located on a large tract of land in another part of the county, in separ- ate buildings. The place could be farmed, accord- ing to Mr. Best, and the inmates of the workhouse made to do the work. Farm products for the use of county charges could be raised and in this way the institutions would be partial- ly self-supporting.
