This increase would provide 56 beds for patients
bringing up the total number of beds in permanent
buildings to 98. It provided greatly improved sleeping
accommodation for nurses. The cost of the whole
was estimated at £29,672 17s. 0d.
In the following month the Council passed a
resolution agreeing for the present to a much modified
plan, consisting of an annexe for the nurses, and the
two storey pavilion and the minor details at an
estimated cost of £14,351 13s. 0d.*
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
D. S. SKINNER,
Medical Superintendent.
*A resolution has since been passed approving of the original
plans for the extension.
