A WORD TO SENATORS.

The Local College of Physicians Objects
to Certain Legislation.
The College of Physicians and Surgeons
of San Francisco has sent the followin &
comm unication to each OF the Senators at
Sacramento. 1t explains itself:
Dear Senator: The sole object of Senate bill
No. 265 is TO admit students of our medical
college and of the homeopathic and eclectic
medical colleges TO the advantages and privil.
eyes of clinical instruction TO the City and
County H spital on equality with the m ed
ical department of the state University and
Cooper Medical College.
This has rendered necessary an amend ment
to the code, because at the time the code was
adopted neither of these colleges was in
existence, and the code specifically mentions
but two which effectually bars us out until
the Legislature, in recognition of our needs,
passes Senate bin No. 265.
An amendment has, however, been tackled
on to the bill in the Senate that is foreign to
our wishes, and in the House failed to receive
the approval OF the House committee and seri-
ously endangers the BILL The amendment
abolishes the office OF Quarantine Officer. This
action not only brings the entlle San Fran
cisco House delegation i'll opposition to the
bill, but the opposition may be potent TO in
fuence the Governor TO veto it II it passes.
If the House refuses TO concur in this
amendment the bill dies, unless the Senate
shall recede from its amendment. Our
students are thus denied admission to the
City and County Hospital, but the quarantine
Office is not abolished.
We, therefore, beg and urge, basing our pc
titiou on justice and equity, that your hon
orablc Senate recede from the amendment
when the bill returns from the House. Other
wise the bill fails on account of the amend.
ment.
Being near the close of the session there is
barely time now for its return to the Senate,
but we look to you to help us by concurring
with the bly, amendment to save the bill
which lets our students into the hospital.
Very respectfully,
j. r. LAME, President
WjNsLow ANDERSON, Dean.
