II HOSPITAL BILL REsUscIrATBD.
Mr., Glover, pursuant to notice, moved
to reconsider the vote by which the bill to
provide for the cars and maintenance OF
the INDECENT sick and insane Of the State
was indefinitely postponed. He said the
necessity for passing q bill to create a san
itary board, whose especial duty 1t should
be to improve the care and maintenance Of
the INDECENT sick, disabled and insane in
the State, and also appropriating an adj
eouate sum to enable them to discharge
the duties devolying upon them, must be
apparent to every member of the House.
Mr. Glover said that the bill should pass
as a simple matter Of justice to Storey
county. 1t had supported and maintained
the sick and insane Of the other counties Of
this State, and it was now time for q change
and more equal charge on the other coun-
ties.
Mr.. Cutter said that it was unjust on
the part Of outside counties to compel
Storey county, which was already burden
ed with q heavy debt, to keep and main
tain their sick. He desired that the Hos
pital should be made a State institution,
as was provided in the State Constitution.
Storey county would pay its proportion
ofthe expense of State institution, proba-
bly, about three-ffths.
Mr.. Crawford said this bill reminded
him Of something, he did not know exactly
what I; probably it was a cat which is said
to have nine lives, or the Democratic party,
which came up to the polls annually to be
knocked down. He said that Lyon coun-
ty had within the past year paid the Storey
county Hospital Contractors eleven or
twelve hundred dollars for the care and
maintenance Of the sick, although the con-
tractors had forgotten about it until re-
minded of il.
Mr.. Elliott believed that the bill was
right, but was the State able to defray the
expenses Of the institution
Mr. Edwards said that Storey county
paid more taxes into the State Treasury
than the balance Of the counties together.
There was no doubt but that Storey
county had been burdened with the ex.
pense, and she had q right to complain.
The proportionate expense Of the other
counties in maintaining a State Hospital
would be but about six hundred dollars.
And they could easily stand that. The
merits of this bill addressed themselves to
the humanity of the House, and he hoped
the bill would be rcconsidered.
Mr.. James said that he was in favor Of
the bill. Storey county was q central
county, and all the sick and disabled Of
the adjoining counties generally went into
that county to be cured. Lyon county
was a favorite of Storey county. A large
number Of people were sent to the Storey
County Hospitrl annually. Dayton was
no safe place for a sick man in summer
time, for it required two men to keep the
gnats from eating up the invalid, and con-
sequently they sent up all their sick to
Storey county.
Mr.. Beck said the bill was a swindle /;
that his speciality was to legislate for the
people of the State, and not hospital con-
tractors, and that he would not 80 for the
bill.
N1Ts LuuC ulSO CihNsSu buC oAi no y
swindle, and although he was in favor OF
such a bill, he would not 60 for this one
unless it was remodeled.
The motion to recommit prevailed.
Mr.. Hinckley was satisfied that it was
the duty of the State to appropriate, under
the State Constitution, at least $4,000
for the care of the sick and insane. He
moved that the bill be refereed to a select
committee Of five.
Mr.. Haskell moved to amend so as to on
stitute the committee Of one from each
county.
Mr.. Grey was not in favor Of the motion,
did not want the bill galvanized into life
again, but wanted to see it kicked out Of the
House.
Mr.. Hinckley's motion was nesatived.
Ayes, Is; noes, Is.
Mr., Haskell's amendment prevailed-syes,
n ; noes, none /; and the chair announced
Messrs. Mason. Bearss, O'Neil, Taylor, Linn,
Williams, Munckton, Warren, Walton,
Gaige and Glover as such committee.
