SUNDRIES. 
355 
ed-stone trimmings, the roof being of unfading green slate, 
t will cover an area of about 65x50 feet. 
There will be two stories and a basement, the latter to 
ontain, besides the rooms for ordinary cellar purposes, a 
itchen with every facility for cooking the food for the dogs, 
eating the water for the baths, etc. 
On the first floor the commodious clinic room will open 
ito the elegant apartment, that for non-contagious cases. At 
ither side of the latter will be the mange ward and the dis- 
amper ward, both being separated from it by heavy brick 
artitions, the communication with all other parts of the 
uilding from these wards being effected only by going out- 
ide and around. 
In the three principal wards, as also in the bath-rooms 
onnected with them, there will be polished granolithic pave- 
lents, and the walls to a height of five feet will be covered 
fith six-inch square white enamelled tiles. Above the tiling 
le walls and the ceiling will be of adamant plaster. The 
ogs will be in separate cages upon wheels, and may thus be 
amoved for disinfection, to the baths or to the clinic. From 
fty to sixty of these cages will probably be in use. 
There will be special bath-rooms connected with all the 
r ards, which with all the plumbing, have been matters of 
reat consideration and are the best of the kind for the pur- 
oses. The bath-room for the non-contagious and surgical 
r ard will be entirely apart from that of the mange ward. In 
le latter there will be two baths, one for the ordinary bathing 
ad a smaller one for the medicated baths. There will be 
ine sinks and the drainage will of necessity be most carefully 
Tended to. 
Perfect systems of heating and electric lighting will be in- 
'oduced, the special system of ventilation having been de- 
ised in consultation with the department of hygiene of the 
University. There will be special ventilating flues for each 
)om, and each flue will be provided with a small electric fan, 
ius insuring perfect control of each separately, and perfect 
pntilation for all. 
The second story will be of the same dimensions as the
