physicians for the Poor.

TO nc Eipor Of the Dispatch:
Kindly allow me space for few words
relative TO The proposed ordinance Tor the
recommendation and selection by the
Academy of Medicine and Surgery OF the
physicians for the poor of this city.
OF nv own knowledge there are some or
our best physciaus-knOwn TO the whole
community "a such-and taxpayers rho do
not beiuag 10 He AcddJHy Of Medicine and
Sirgeru Are they TO be eXcluded-5ovco'ted
in other worlsLfrom being candidates for
these positious because they do not belong
to any clique or organlzatiOni
Certainly our CITY Fathers will look we'll
into this before they exclude the candi-
dacv of any physician and taxpayer IN good
standing. Let all have chance. where
onual competency exists all are eligible and
should have equal chances.
We wish TO see good and reliable men IN
these positions, and we think the Board Of
Health and the Committee on Poor. having
lived lone enough to have received the
hearty support Of their fellow-citiZens for
the positions they now fill, are well enough
Acquainted with all who are competent
physicians Ia the city without the aid OF the
Academy of Medicine and Surgery
Let tho names of the respective candl-
dates in and out of the Academy be sub
mitfed. and we venture the assertion the
committee Will make intelligent selection
themselves. FAIR PLAY.
DO not let us 60 TO quarrelling about the
distribution Of the Offices before they are
created.
What the public first desires to SEQ is tho
City Council committed 10 the policy Of
providing medical attention for the out
door poor. When the great result IS
achieved it will be time enough TO discuss
the Other question.
