To mention other difficulties let it be noted that an extension could not be added to the east end of the present building without first removâ€" ing the _ stone chapel now located close to thit end of the building. It could not be rdded to the south side because of the steamm boi‘ler house and laungry, also mon‘s hospital wing already located at that side of the main building and ary further exten sions there would be t9o close to the barn and other farm buildings. If an extension of moderate size were added to the west end it wouhf'l ‘urther interfere with the light in the present buildings and make our con-‘ ditions now bad, even worse on thali account. | 4. The only alternative thus remainâ€" ing is to place the extension at the front of the present building and suf(â€" ficiently far from the present buildâ€" ing to admit of light court or hollow square in the centre to admit dayâ€" light and ventilation and at the same time provide for proper fire protection between the present buildings and the new part as well as a reâ€"nrrangement ‘of the old building downstairs to make it more accessible in case of fire or panic. The new building can thus be so constructed in conjunction with the old that the old pari may at some fuâ€" ‘ure time at comparatively small ex pense, be rebuilt inside of concrete reinforced _ construction, | making | it practical‘y fireproof, such as the new building is intended to beâ€"in the meunlimct(lnr at least gopme years !o come such alteration in the old build ing as we have already provided for ‘1 the plans submitied, wiil greatly reduce the fire hazard and bring the ‘ntire plant up to a state of efficiency hat will well warrant all that it can nossibly cost. 5.. You will have noted from the cor esponSence from the On‘ario Depart« ment of Public Charities, that we have the assurance of financial assistance ‘om the Provincial Government if our prosent pSans are carried substantiail iv into effect, which we cannot hope to secure if any temporary and inâ€" sufficient additions are undertaken.
