The new workhouse will be located on relatively high ground on the recently acquired farm and will bo several hundred feet from East Avenueo south of the Upper Afton Road and north of the Lower Af ton Road. It will be over a thousand feet from the north end of the property and several hundred feet from the Lower Afton Road to allow for widening Lower Afton Road in the future. The natural slope of the ground to the rear permits lower level areas which are utilized for shops for farm equipmento storage, refrigeration and gymnasium type of recreational facilitieso all of these areas having full windows and direct access outside. The capacity of the new workhouse will be 235 male inmates of which 180 are housed in 30 bed dormitories with single bunks plus 10 infirmary beds. Other male inmates will be housed in 12 bed dormitories or ells. The women's section will house 21 of which 13 will be housed in a dormitory.
