II Is Possible that One VIII he Iut on Each
Division OF the Il. & o. Road.
Baltimore & Ohio officials arc consid-
erlnG the ACCESSIBILITY OF adding to thelr
already fine equipment g. hospital car.
Each division OF the road will have one
rs soon as the question is settled by
those having the matter under consid-
Grafton. The Plant system, which oper-
ates in the stnte OF Florida. has had a
number Of these cars In operation for
some time, and they have proved a de-
clded success. The car already in oper-
alton has three compartments. at one
end Is the ward. at the other the oper-
atInG room and in the middle a con-
sultinE room. The car In itself Is n
complete modern hospital. and will
prove n boon to those suffering from
railroad accidents. In operating ? sys-
ten of hospital cars the railroad Will
be divided into sections OF 200 miles
and a n assigned to each section.
The permanent station will be In the
middle OF each section, and thus 100
miles in either direction Will be con-
trolled. II Is estimated hat when the
system has become complete and far
reaching that at least one-half OF the
danger and suffering from improper
care and attendance in railroad wrecks
and collisions will be done away with:
and also the payment OF thousands OF
dollars In the way OF damages will be
saved the railroad companies.
