The main entrance will lead past a certificate office into the waiting hall, estimated to seat about 120 out patients. Along the side of this hall are arranged the doctor's consulting and examination-rooms, and the dark and other rooms required by the ophthalmic surgeons. From these rooms the patients enter an inner waiting hall adjoining the dispensary, and are then discharged from a separate exit door. The dispensary, drug stores, and disinfecting-rooms are arranged for on the west side of the building. The new accident-room is situated near the front entrance, whilst a small consulting-room and room for minor operations adjoins the main room. The contractors for the undertaking are Messrs. A.
