Column:
To the Board of TruSteeS-GENTLEME
Picture to yourselves, if, on the morrow,
one of your number, while quietly wend-
ing your way along our public streets,
some serious accident might befall you,
and that you lay PROSTATE on one of our
thoroughfares bleeding nigh unto death,
and many of your fellow citizens around
you trying to ease your pain, and an ex-
press wagon is called and you are
dumped into 1t and drawn down our
cobbled streets toward the Receiving
Hospital; there you lay in that wagon,
stretched out on its hard bottom, and at
every jounce the blood would ooze out of
your wounds, and all this time your face
lay exposed to the burning SUM- say,
picture yourselves in this condition, and
then you have the system this city is
now using in conveying her wounded
and dying to the place to be treated.
Gentlemen, say this is shame and a
disgrace in this nineteenth century, and in
the capital of this great State, that for the
paltry sum of $400 or $500, the amount it
would cost to purchase good ambulance
for the above purpose, it is not done. In
fact, gentlemen, in any other civilized
country you would be held accountable
for this negligence of your duty to the
unfortunates. But l am charitable
enough to think that this great
necessity has been an oversight on
your part, and I trust that ere another
month passes by Sacramento will be pro-
vided with one of these conyeniences,
not only in the interest Of humanity, but
as matter of duty you owe the citizens
of this city, as they all demand it.
