The Confederate M e m o r i a l
Medical Center Board of Direc-tors
announced! last night that it
will open bids on alterations and
revision of the Radiology Depart-ment
which will be used to house
$90,000 in equipment.
The equipment has been sitting
in the basement of Confederate
because no funds were available
for renovation which must be
done to the third floor Radiology
Department before the machi-nery
can be installed.
Bids will be taken Tuesday at
10 a.m. in the board room.

the Division of Administration

category to its equipment
account.

isotope equipment.
