New Contagious Ward Begun.

Active work has commenced on the new contagious ward of the Stillman Infirmary; and it is hoped that the building will be completed by January 1, 1905. The ground has been staked out, and excavation will commence as soon as the weather becomes favorable. Connery and Wentworth are the contractors in charge of the work. The architects are Messrs. Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge, of Boston.
