The CITY HosPITAL.-A petition was
presented to the City Council last eve
ming from twenty-five physicians in favor
of continuing the present City Hospital,
as such an institution was greatly needed
in the city at the present time. Alder
man Townsend said it took one-sixth Of
the entire revenue of the city for the sup
port of the hospitals, and said that
nineteen.twentieths of the patients in the
hospitals were foreign born and were not
citizens of Memphis. He argued in favor
of abolishing the City Hospital and re-
moving the patients to the General
Hospital. Aldermen Clancy, Powers
and Shaw spoke in favor of continuing
the hospital, when the petition was re-
ferred to a committee consisting of
Aldermen Townsend, Hoist, O'Donnell,
johnson and Clancy On motion Of
Alderman Townsend, the Surgeon of the
State Hospital was requested to furnish
the nativities of all patients. On motion
of Alderman Shaw, it was resolved that
so much of the Hospital Ordinance that
requires a sick person to be resi- dent Of
the city six months before being admit
ted to the hospital be suspended for a
time. In view of the wretehed manner
in which the hospitals have been man
aged recently, Alderman Amis intro
duced an ordinance repeating the ordi-
nance creating q Board Of Hospital
Trustees. Itpassed its first reading and
was referred to the Ordinance Committee.
