Ice for fieldhospitals would doubtless be distributedfrom a base rather than manufactured onthe spot. The electric installation would of course be the same for the lield as forthe base hospital, including X-Rayequipment. Time ofCoiistrurlion The erection of the Rockefeller Hos-pital was commenced on June 1st, andthe buildings completed ready for occu-pancy by July 13th. This result wasachieved in six weeks due to the intelli-gent handling of the work by the generalcontractors, and the hearty co-operationof each and every trade employed onthe work. The record shows how quicklythis form of construction can behandled. ( 22 )
