The difference in cost of construction between fireproof and non-fireproofis decreasing constantly especially so since many of the new so-called. Meyer J. Sturm Architect(From Organization, Construction, and Management of Hospitals, Ochsner and Sturm.) Represents one floor of a U-shaped hospital of many stories, which combines great con-venience, perfect arrangement for sunlight, economy in conduct, ser\ace, heating, and is an ideal plan for a hospital for large cities in which excellence of service and economyin cost of construction, cost of upkeep, and cost of maintenance are important elements.
