UPHELD THE STAFF.
Conclusion of the Long Controversy
at the Emergency Hospital.


at the Emergency Hospital.
Despite efforts to keep the matter quiet,
it has become generally known that the
board of directors of the Central D:spensary
and Emergency Hospital. at a meeting held
last week, adopted the report of a majority
of committee of five which had been
created to inquire into the differences ex-
isting between DR.. James Kerr and the
ether members Of the staff of the institu-
ton. 1t will be well remembered that the
members of the staff about a year ago
adopted a resolution requesting DR.. Kerr to
resign as a member of the staff and of the
board of dfI Iectors. DIR. Kerr refused to
resign without being investigated The
board of directors accordingly then ap-
pointed committee to investigate the mat
ter. 1t consisted of Mr.. Henry F. Biount,
Mr.. Henry l.. West, DIR. Joseph Taber John
son, Mr.. Chas. ]. Bell and Mr.. T. w. Smith.
The first three named Joined in a report
which upheld the position of the staff and
approved the recommendations contained
in The resolution of the staff calling for Dr.
Kerr's resignation.
the rumors growing out of this action
have taken the shape of an assertion that
the board of directors had declared DIR.
Kerr's position vacant. but this is not cor
rect. The whole matter rests upon the
board to be elected at the annual meeting
next Friday. DR.. Kerr's term as director
expires at that time, and unless he is re-
elected his connection with the hospital will
cease of itself. SsfL
