Lloyd told of the pro- gress made in connection with the ad- dition to the hospital. He said that it was hoped to let the contract in the very near future. The delay in letting the contract was caused by the depart- ment issuing new regulations in con- nection with the nursery and these changes necessitated some structural changes from. the first plans that were approved. The architect has been ill since the new year causing further de- lay. He said to date that $60,145 had been subscribed, $25,000 from Huron County Council; $15,000 Wingham Town Grant; $3600 from adjacent municipalities and $17,545 from private subscriptions. The project will cost more than at first planned and a con- siderable sum will have to be raised in addition to that already subscribed.
