Hospital Kitchen

The plans for an addition to the Hospital Kitchen, which will be a 5-story connecting link
46′ × 75′ between the Private Patients Pavilion and the Psychiatric Building, were reviewed. The sum
of $151,758.00 is available for the two floors to be used for the Kitchen and its appurtenances. The
three stories above to be used for Private Patients are to be amortized either in whole from room rent
or to be supplemented with Hill-Burton funds, if available.

It was pointed out that due to the enactment of laws governing the handling, preparation,
and serving of foods and disposal of garbage, that an addition to the appropriation of $51,758.00 was
necessary, and that based on our estimate of the total cost of the work involved, the Governor had
authorized $100,000.00 additional, making $151,758.00 available for this work. It was also pointed
out that this addition was tentatively planned when the Private Patients Pavilion was erected in 1935.

The Board approved the proposals and authorized the plans to be completed.
