STATE HOSPITAL HAS 587,000 FOR FIRE PROTECTION Superintendent Garvin Will Undertake Conservative Safety Program TO HAVE MARSHAL Dr. William C.

Garvin, superintendent of the Bnghamton State hospital, has received information from Albany that $87,000, appropriated some time ago for the improvement of the State Hospital Fire Protection department, has been deposited in the office of the state comptroller, and that the local hospital management may proceed with its plans for placing fire protection of the large buildings at that institution upon an effective and efficient basis. Accordingly, Edward S. Graney, steward, is advertising for bids for a triple combination, pumping, chemical and hose car, and these bids will be received Dec. 16, at the local office. The bids will be forwarded the State Hospital Commission, for award of the contract later.

The car will be the first of several improvements. Dr. Garvin says he will use care in spending the large fund now at his disposal, and it will take a year to carry into effect his plans for the new fire protection department. He plans to create a department that will combat any outbreak of flames until the arrival of the Binghamton fire department. The plan includes not only apparatus, but fire escapes, extended water mains, the transformation of an old barn into a fire fighting center.

Efficiency of the fire-fighters will have an important part in the plans for the future. Dr. Garvin is attempting secure a fire marshal of experience to head the new department.
