The work on the new Homeopathic hospital has now advanced above the water table and the stone walls of the first story are rising. The sub cellar has been completed and joists and first floor laid.

Koch Bros., the contractors, are doing splendid stone work which will be a credit to the city. It may not be generally known that Ann Arbor stone masons have the reputation of doing the finest stone work in the state.
