Dumfries new infirmary buildings
A meeting of the building committee in connexion with the new infirmary buildings has been held for the purpose of further considering the plan of Mr. Starford, architect, which has been selected for recommendation to the governors on condition that it was shown that it could be built for the stipulated sum of £10,000. Mr Starford's plan had originally exceeded that amount, and it was now produced in an amended form, an estimate based upon it amounting to £8,650-9s-8d. Should the proceedings of the committee be confirmed, the building will be commenced forthwith.
