NO REFUGE FOR
THE CITY'S SICK
City and County Hospital
Can House No More
Patients.
AS a Result of Varied Filchings
the Maternity Ward Is
Closed.
The Emergency Cases Are for the
Present Cared for at the Re.
ceiving Hospital.

As result of the looting of the funds
provided by the City to repair it and
make il bly, fit for occupancy, seri-
Gus crisis now confronts the City and
County Hospital. The institution is
taxed to its capacity to accommodate
patients, ami in day or so the Board of
Health will close its doors to further ap-
plicants.
The condition of affairs as far as the
poor sick and disabled are concerned Is
very serious. Owing to the neglect Of the
former management of the hospital to re-
pair certain sewers it has been found
necessary to close the maternity ward.
This has resulted in a transfer of this
class of patients to the children's nursery
and corresponding cramping and crowd
ing throughout the entire building. 1t is
possible that this ward may be reopened
in few days, but this would be but
temporary relief. The capacity of the
building has already been reached.
There are now 1893 patients i'll the hospi-
tai, the largest number In it's history.
Three cases applied for admission yes
terday. The resident physician rejected
two of them because he was unable to
house the patients. The third was an
emergency affair and the sick man was
accommodated by resurrecting some old
beds from the basement and drawing on
the maternity wari for some bed clothing
In two OF the wards the operating rooms
ave been transformed into sick cham bers
The transfer of the maternity ward to the
chidren's 8 nursery has left the little ones
no place to romp but the big long corri-
dors.
There are now fully 100 cases in the
hospital that properly belong to the Aims
house. This number is made up OF chronic
sick and infirm, whose condition while not
serious enough 10 warrant their detention
in an emergency institution such as
hospital is designed to be is yet of such a
nature as to make it impossible to turn
them adrift. Now the Aimshouse is full
in the fullest sense of the word. INN ates
are sleeping on the floor, unable to get
beds, and relief in this direction Superln-
tendent Reddy declares is out OF the
question.
A woman applied for admission to the
hospital the other day. She was given
refuge in an improvised room, but the
resident physician has since refused three
similar applications. The Receiving Hos
pital has been temporarily pressed into
sarvice, but there is danger, too, that its
capacity will be all required In day or
so. Then this big town will have no shell
ter for its unfortunate sick.
The Board of Health is at its wits end

WILL HAVE To
WALK No MORE
Adequate Street Railway
Service Promised Carl
Street Residents.
An Enterprising Improvement
Club Induces the Company
to Make Concession.
The Board of Super visors Petitioned
by Property Owners to Grant
the Franchise.

The residents of the district south of
the Panhandle, or at least that portion of
the district whose interests are looked
after by the Ashbury Heights and
Stanyan-street Improvement Club, be-
lieve that after much contention they are
on the eve OF having an adequate street
railway service, and they are consequently
elated.
For many months past the service in
this district has been distressingly meager
and Irregular. At one time the Market
street Railway Company took the cars off
Carl street entirely. and after much
protest consented to make few trips at
remote intervals during the day. The
residents protested vigorously, and finally
instituted a suit to have the franchise of
the old Metropolitan road annulled.
This had its effect, for the railroad COM
pany consented to listen to their de-
manus. and after consultation with the
improvement clubs and other property
owners, the company agreed TO give
a satisfactory service if franchise could
be secured for a road few blocks more
extensive than that which they now hold.
meeting of the As bury Heights and
Stanyan-street improvement Club wa
held at 1877 Carl street last evening to take
final steps in the matter.
Fred J. Roster, president of the club,
stated that the object of the meeting was
TO petition the Board of Supervisors to
grant the Market street Railway Com pany
franchise enabling it to operate street
railway on Masonic avenue, between Oak
and Page streets; also on Clayton street,
from Frederick to Carl, thence to Cole
street. He expla ned that the matter was
expected TO come before the board to-
morrow.
+. n. Fritz said that he had seen the
franchise, which provided for fifteen
minute service. II objected to that" he
said, land Mr.. Lynch assured me that
there would be a ten-minute service
They will change the franchise in regard
to the limit ior mpleting the road from
three years. as they first contemplated, to
ninety days.
A resolution calling upon the board to
grant the franchise az prepared was read
by D. L. Westover and, after some discus
sion, was passed unanimously. A petit
ton to the same effect which had been
circulated among pToperty-owners and
numerousy signed was also subscribed
10y the mem bers of the cub.
The district to be affected by the in
creased transportation facilities is one O.:
the most rapidly improving sections of
the City. and the residents feel that the
assurance which they now have of regu-
lar street railway service will be a great
benefit to the community. The Improve

The Number of Arrivals
Increasing and Hotels
Doing Well.
But the Tide From the East Is
Late and Is Always so After
a Campaign.
The Rise in Wheat, Beef and Wine
Has Greatly Stimu ated the
Coast Travel.

Although the winter boom in travel does
not usually set in before February 1, there
has been something OF all increase in the
arrivals here for some little time. 1t is
believed that from this on there will be a
considerably greater increase in travel.
Local or California and coast travel has
been stimulated by the higher prices for
wheat, beef and wine. The producers of
beef have been especially in evidence here
during the last two or three weeks. AS
they always have their pockets full of
money and buy things with good deal of
freedom, they are welcomed with fully
the usual amount OF cordiality.
While tie experiences of hotel pro-
prietors are differ ent, as are the hotels
from each other, better business is, on
the average, noticeable. AT the Palace it
is stated that while the arrivals have not
during the winter been heavy, neither
have the departures. Those that came
have stayed, aud the hotel has been kept
pretty well filled right along. ~
Colonel Young OF the Russ House said
yesterday in regard to the increase of
travel: ut is picking up a good, deal. 1t

said:

Gate Carnival and several National gather
