Virginia Hospital.

Approved December 31, 1903.

nucleus of the University of Virginia hospital it was deemed essent
that there should be offices and accommodations for internes, nurs
kitchen, laundry, operating room with ample amphitheatre; and,

Whereas, the present demands upon said hospital require the use
said apartments for the patients treated therein, to the great inconve
ence and detriment of said hospital; and,

Whereas, in the original design it was contemplated that there shor
be erected six wards, none of which have been built because of lack
funds; and,

Whereas, it is imperative that there should be provided at once t
wards for said hospital, connecting with the main building by an arcs
or corridor, each ward to be of sufficient size to accommodate at least
twenty patients; and,

appropriated out of any funds in the State treasury not otherwise appro-
priated the sum of thirty-one thousand dollars, to be expended in the
erection of additional buildings and wards as aforesaid for said hospital ;
and the auditor of public accounts is hereby authorized and directed to
draw his warrant upon the treasurer of the State for said sum upon the
requisition of the rector and board of visitors of the University of Vir-
ginia.
