Alva, April 16, Special -- "Work on the new $50,000 city hospital at Alva has been stopped by tying up of funds in the First National Bank which failed recently, according to J. E. Morrison, contractor.

"The buff brick, three-story structure is 90 percent finished, but Morrison is unable to meet his pay roll as both his private funds and money received from the city on the contract are in the hands of the National bank examiner."
