ing Friendship park and extending from Millvale avenue to Gross street was purchased for this purpose. Upon it was erected a fire-proof, six story brick building, having 250 in- dividual rooms with hot and cold running water, adequate bath and toilet facilities, a large auditorium, library, sun porches and roof garden. An underground passage connects it with the hospital. The building was completed and ready ‘or occupancy May 1, 1923, at a cost, with furnishings, ap- proximating $671,000. With the passing of the years and the growth of the hospi- tal, the need for expansion in the laboratory was felt to such a Jegree that in 1925 the board of directors set itself the task of raising funds for this purpose. A semi-public appeal followed which met with such a whole-hearted and generous response from friends and well-wishers of the institution, that the new laboratories wing became a certainty. The contract for erec- tion was let in February, 1926, and the new building, which stands upon the site orginally intended for a nurses’ home, was officially opened October 20, 1927. This new plant brings together all the various laboratory activities of the hospital and contains the departments of pathology, bio-chemistry, bacteriology, diagnostic X-ray, deep therapy, physiotherapy and electrocardiograph. There is a new metabolic pavilion and kitchen, and a new children’s pavilion entirely separate from other activities. Thirty-four private rooms have also been included, the income from which will aid in maintaining these laboratories and in provid- ing for the necessary research work. With these additional accommodations for patients. the hospital's capacity is 600 beds. The present officers and directors of the hospital are: Offi- cers: James R. Mellon, president; James D. Hailman, first vice-president; James W. Macfarlane, M. D., second vice- president; George D. Edwards, treasurer; C. W. Orwig, as- sistant treasurer; M. H. Eichenlaub, secretary; Henry G. Wasson, solicitor; Fidelity Title and Trust Co., custodian. Directors— Wilson S. Arbuthnot, Charles D. Armstrong, Michael L. Benedum, Arthur E. Braun, George S. Davison, George D. Edwards, A.
