HOSPITAL.
After a careful examination and ques-
tioning OF patients, find fare and treat.
ment good and arrangements satisfac-
tory.
We recommend that q cashbook be
kept, in which the steward be required
| to enter oil sums Of money that NAV be
| turned over to him by patients. or that
may be found on the bodies Of The dead.
We call attention to the fact that
there were no bids received for buryinq
tho dead, and this is now done by three
| undertaking firms of the city alternate
| ~, for which service they charge SIS for
each body. We therefore recommend
the Board of Supervisors to advertise
for bids and, failing to receive reason.
able Offer that they purchase the
| CO1Hu3 NJ u price not exceeding three
and one. half dollars each, and that an
I employee of the hospital take the bodies
to the cemetery in the ambulance of the
county. We further call the attention
of the Board to the fact that the bodies
taken TO the Medical College-as pro.
vided by statuie-have been charged for
as tn ,ugh they had been buried. This
we consider an evident violation of the
intent Of the law, and in future ask that
| the Supervisors require the Medical
| College to take such bodies from the
hospital direct, at their own expense,
and oil charges to the county cease at
tne t"he Vi sucn ueiVeiy. further,
that no biii be piid Tor burial except on
the certihca,e oil the sexton oil the cemt-
terry In when SUCH burial IS made.
we recommend that the Board OF
supervisors lake sucn necessary steps as
may lead 10 the establishment OF re-
form school Tor the reception OF minors
OF Doth sexes; and that not less than
one hundred acres OF iahi be purchased,
ana that suitable buildings be erected
