A BIG LAUNDRY AT THE HOSPITALS.

A complete steam laundry is now in operation in connection with the University hospitals. The machinery includes a sterilizer, in which 30 pounds of steam pressure is secured, a washing machine, a centrifugal extractor or wringer, a mangle for flat work, a body ironer, a seven-bar steam dry box in which 210 degrees of beat may be obtained, and three electric flat-irons. Three persons are employed in operating the laundry. The daily output is 500 pieces. It is estimated that the saving in washing and laundry expenses to the University is from $30 to $40 a month.
