THE SASKATOON' PFKENTX WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 19 1917 CANADIAN CASUALTIES New Isolation Hospital Is Now Near Completion OFFICE STIFF Will Cost In Neighborhood of $15,000 Has Four Wings And 12 Wards Up -to-Date Plumbing Equipment And Steam Heat One of Old hacks Will Be Used To Care For Insane Be fore Commitment To Asylum there will be steam heat. At present the main boiler in the hospital Is being repaired and Improvements adjusted whereby tlie isolation adjunct will be heated at the same time as the hospital, dn order to do this, after the boiler has received the necessary repairs, a pipe will have to be laid from the inaiij building to the r.aw annex. No Tunnel Grant The hospital hoard had hoped while this was being done that a tunnel might be bored so that doctors and nurses can easily walk from the hospital to the Isolation department. This would prove a great convenience to the staff especially during the heavy winter weather. It was found, however, th'at this would cost about $800, and in view of the isolation hospital being erected as a temporary Institution, the city did not consider that the expenditure was Justified at pVesent.

When an estimate of the eoKt of the building was made the need for Inlaid linoleum was not considered. It has however, been realised that this expenditure Is essential. The linoleum keeps the hospital floors un-cracked and are essential from the sanitary point of view. It had beon the hope of Mr, Ryan to secure battleship linoleum, which usually sells at $1.50 per squure yard. On Inquiry it has been found, howeter, that the present price for battleship linoleum is 2.50 per square yard.

It has therefore been decided to order ordinary inlaid linoleum of which 400 square yards will be needed at a cost of $1.80 per square yard. The full cost of the new hospital will reach $15,000. To Grade Spaces Mr. Ryan has receh ed several offers for the lumber of the shack which is to be removed and also for the stable which was used before motor vehicles were b.j much In evidence. He hopes to dispose of these In a few days.

Chief Gurdener Brown of the Parks Board will then grade the vacant spaces, and possibly plant some shrubs at the edges. When this is done, it will further enhance the excellent view of the city purk that is to be seen from this part the hospital. At the present time the city hospital is up to its capacity In tho nuit-ber of patients in the wards and there are signs that the citizens may shortly have to decide upon the question of enlarging this institution. No Movement Yet In Saskatoon To Meet Work of Examining Men of First Class LOCAL BOARD IS READY TO ACT Three Men Presented Themselves For Examination Which Was Refused While news Is reaching the city that medical mobilisation boards are lilting organised and re-organised in otliei cities throughout the land to with the work of examining the men under the firth class in the con-seriptio act, it wu ascertained yesterday that no movement of any Kind is so far being taken up here along these lines in the city. The members of the medical mobilisation hoard In Saskatoon are Dr, U.

A. Wright, chairman; Dr. ft. H. Dove end Dr.

Arthur Wilson. There Is also a standing medical board consisting of G. A. Wright, chairman; Dr, C. K.

J.angford and Dr, K. J. Macdonald. The latter board has solely to do with the examination of returned men and reporting of their condition to Ottawa. No instructions as to' the course (they are now to adopt has been received by the members of the mobilisation board and at present they are only examining men who desiie to enlist if found physically fit.

When spoken to last evening, Dr, Wright satd that three men had pre-fiented thernaelves before the board during the day, asking to be examined. When requested to state if they were Teady to enlist if found fit, they replied in the negative and the botfrd refused to make the examinations. Conscription Not In Force "The new military act Is not ill force In the country," declared Dr. Wright, "and until we receive definite Inst nations we are carrying out our work heie under the voluntary enlistment system, I am endeavoring to get into communication with Major florrel, who is in charge of military headquarters ii Regina, of the medical mobilisation work of this military district and hope to get Instructions from him." Attention was called to Dr. Wright of the government's announcement in the press of the countiy calling upon 11 of those who will wish to know Whether they are physically fit for gefvice to prepare to present themselves for examination, and also to the appeal which reached the local board of trade from the minister of justice to co-operate in the forming cf rnedUal mobilisation board to meet the conditions that will arise.

Purely Military Dr. Wright said that he did not understand lmw the business meti of the city could co-operate In a work that was purely of a military nature. It Is presumed that the minister of justice in his circular to the different comnvjnitiis throughout the Country on the subject may have particularly referred to those centres of mobilisation where medical boards were nonexistent but which will have to be formed with the coming of conscription. From conversations with local men, it was learned that they consider a The new isolation adjunct of the' city hospital will be completed in week's time, and according to a statement made yesterday by Hupt. John Ryan, the Institution should be ready to receive patients by October 1st.

The new building will occupy a space of nearly 4.000 cubic feet and is being erected with a view of meeting tho present hospital requirements for dealing with patients suffering from infectious diseases. These have, hitherto, been accomodated In shacks. One Shack to Go A representative of The Phoenix paid a visit yesterday to the hospital and was taken over the grounds by Mr. Ryan and given oppoitunlty of viewing the old shacks, and getting an idea of what the new building will be like when thoroughly completed. There is Indeed, a great change between the old and the new accommodation for infectious diseases.

The old shacks were devoted each to a separate group of diseases and it is Intended that one of these only will be, removed. Of the remaining two, on will be need to accommodate as at present any tubercular patients and the other to take in patients suffering from mental disease. Will care for Insane It will be remembered that a considerable amount of criticism has been heard in reference to the present system whereby if a stranger or a poor person ir the city becomes insane. he or she is lodged in the police cells until committed for the asylum. In future all such cases will be taken to the hospital.

The new isolation hospital la being erected hy James Bonnie, the contractor, who is giving the city officials every satisfaction in the manner he is carrying out the work. There are four wings, each with separate kitchen equipment, bath and toilet arrangement and accommodation for nurses. In all there are twelve wards eight of which are small and four large. It is all so arranged that on the recovery of the patient, he can go direct from the bath room, out of the hospital, without passing through any other ward. Steam Heated Wards.

It will he also recollected that old shacks were heated with stoves and their were no baths for the In the new building the plumbing equipment will be up-to-date and good deal of duplication is going to develop as a reault of the contemplated arrangements of the government to have all men examined first, irrespective of the fact that they may be exempt for other reasons. This is illustrated, they assert, In the latest advertisement in the press, in which it is definitely stated that a certificate of fitness from the medical board does not preclude exemption on any other ground. On the other hand. th contemplated plan will be of immense advantage to the employers of labor, who, knowing definitely that a certain portion of their men are unfit, can gage the number of other exemptions they will ask for in order to carry on their Industries. To the men, too, it will prove of advantage, as knowing that they are physically unfit, they will not need to go to further trouole, if they had intended to apply for exemption on other grounds.

Men on threshing gangs in the district gathered to fight the fire and some men from Warman village went out in motor cars and altogether the fire fighters finally succeeded in stopping the flames, though they had worked the way pretty well to the river.
