The new institution will be erected on Allison Hill. The exact spot has not yet been decided upon. >Work on the new institution will likely be started in about a year, according t,o members of the Board of Managers. A member of the Governor's Board in discussing the erection of the new hospi tal, said: "tor several years the hospital management has been quietly discussing the need of new quarters. The noise from the Cumberland \ alley railroad fs a constant source of annoyance and decreases the efficiency of the institution. When the railroad improvements are completed here and the subway and double track- bridge is built the noise and bustle of traffic will be greater still. Then, too we haven't room here for expansion. We will have to locate elsewhere and it will be doubtless somewhere on Allison Hill."

COULD USE EARTH FROM EXCAVATIONS FOR RIVER FRONT Many Puzzled as to Action in Hauling Away Tons of Good Material The average citizen cannot under stand why thousands of tons of filling material which is needed to complete the park treatment of the river front is being deposited in quarry holes and waste places along Cameron and Pax ton streets. Inquiry of the proper au thorities brings out the statement that the cost of hauling this material now being excavated in Mulberry street, at Front and Second streets, is re garded as too heavy to justify the ex penditure, much as the dirt is needed now and will be needed hereafter.

Already 2,000 loads have been deposited in the vicinity of Cameron and Paxton streets and the contractors stated to-day that there would be at least 2 0,000 more loads before the excavation shall have been completed. Where "Fill" Is Needed Those who have made any study of the conditions along the river front between Iron allay, where the river wall begins, and at several stretches between that point and Seneca street where the wall will end, realize that all of the filling material now being wasted on the score of economy Is needed at the present time in the proper grading of the slope to the de pressed park along the wall.
