The Jewish Maternity Hospital of New York, according to an announcement yesterday by Dr. Nathan Ratnoff, secretary of its board of directors, has sold a plot at the northeast corner of Fifth Avenue and 108th Street, which was purchased four years ago with the original intention of building a new hospital to take the place of the present quarters of the institution.
The announcement stated that the sale netted the hospital a profit of nearly $250,000, and that the money secured from the sale, together with funds previously on hand, will make possible the erection of a $1,000,000 structure at some other location without the necessity of conducting an extensive building campaign.
