CONTRACT GIVEN TO HOME LABOR

Chas. Sauer Will Build New Psychopathic Ward

OTHER CONTRACTS LET

And Re-Appointments of Instructors Made at Meeting of Board of Regents Thursday

Thursday afternoon of last week, at 2 o'clock, the board of regents went into executive session and did not adjourn until after 5 o'clock.

The most important business attended to was the letting of the contract for the new psychopathic ward. An Ann Arbor contractor got this important contract by underbidding the next lowest bidier $200. Chas. Sauer was the lucky man, his bid being $39,878. The Buffalo Forge Co. secured the contract for putting in the heating and ventilating system in the building at $6,651.

This hospital is a state institution, and it is to be placed under the supervision of the University. The contracts will be looked over by the state board of corrections and charities and if they approve of them, as in all probability they will, the contract will be awarded to Mr. Sauer and the work will be begun at once.

It is estimated that the cost of the building when furnished will be upwards of $75,000. It will provide for 40 patients with numerous laboratories, etc., for the attending physicians.
