Landscape Architect Frederick L. Olmstead of Brookline visited Holyoke yesterday, and with Mayor Avery, the board of public works and Health Officer J. S. Wright, visited the land bought for an isolation hospital on Cherry street. The layout of the hospital was discussed and estimates were given him of about how much money the city could spare for the building, and Mr. Olmstead will work out plans and submit them later. With the park board Mr. Olmstead visited Jones point, which was bought by the city some time ago. The architect was pleased with the land bought for the isolation hospital, and the lot is large enough for more than one building. Plands for other buildings are already being discussed.
