THEY DON'T WANT 1T.

The Council Committee Reports against
tie Purchase Of the College Hospital.
The council committee on public grounds
and buildings considered yesterday after
noon the proposition to purchase the College
hospital and convert it into city hospital.
There WAS quite delegation of the physi-
clans and surgeons present, and they pre-
scented 4 lengthy written protest against the
proposition. The following is taken from
the points made in the remonstrance:
THE PHYSICIANS PROTEST.
The first reason was the fact that the Col
lege hospital, as at present, furnishes the
city ample room and facilities for the care of
the sick; that city hospital would be able to
take not less skillful care of the city's
sick than any municipal hospital
and at more economical cost;
that the president says the cost of running
and maintaining the college hospital has
been SIS, 900 per annum, besides the liberal
quantities of supplies, etc, bestowed by pri-
vate bounty. which a city hospital would not
likely DC the recipient OF Is not suggestive of
economy; that the city's sick has been cared
for little more than onehalf that amount.
The physician thought that if the hospital
few years sufficient to make fund to erect
and equip new and model city hospital.
The second reason advanced was that the
proposed combination for the purpose OF utii-
iZing the surplus room il the building or the
contiguity of the different public establish
ments for the sick and for the vicious is
highly Objectionable and demoraliZing
The third reason was to the effect that the
construction and conditions of the building
are unsuited for the purposes in every
way etc.
This was followed by written opinions of
architects TO tie effect that the building is in
a bad condition, has settled badly, is cracked
and out Of plumb in many places, and that
it would require large expenditures to place
1t in u condition OF comparative safety; that
the construction is not adapted to the uses
Of such an institutions; that it can only be
heated in winter with an enormous con-
sumption Of fuel, etc; that the sum pro-
posed 10 be expended in their old ruin
would purchase ground in a suitable location
and erect u building especially planned for
the purpose, as large as would be required
for many years, and which could be run with
one-half the expense. The opinions OF the
architects continued at great length and in
the same strain.
The committee took the matter under adj
visement and came TO the conclusion that it
would be an impracticable step for the city to
take TO purchase the property in question
and will so report at the meeting Wednes-
day night.
This action practically disposes of matter
which has aroused deal of public comment
and general CONTROVERSY.
