Ahont the HosnitaI.

The Evening Press of Saturday has
a labored attempt to prove that the
present county commissioners are over
extravaganza in the matter of having
the county sick cared for. The Press
lauds the previous board for its eco
nomy in having the county sick cared
for at the city hospital at an expense
of 81 per day.
Now, as there is at present no city
hospital, by what line of reasoning are
the commissioners to be censured for
not making a contract with them?
The old commissioners had the coun-
ty patients installed in the basement
of the court house, but it soon became
apparent that this was not a good plan.
being Objectionable both on the grounds
of finance and sanitation. 1t was bad
for the patients and for the citizens to.
have the institution thus in the heart
of the city. The Press fiiEres are en-
tirely misleading, Admitting that in the
basement of the court house the cost
per patient was only 81 per week for
board and medicine, still there was
steady expense for the wages of a
steward, whether there were patients
or not. AS matters are now there is no
expense to the county when there are
no patients, and this is about half the
time. AS for the drug bills, the Press
brings in a lot of bills for drugs most
of which have been used for needy sick
who we're never sent to the hospital.
AS mater of fact, the expense per
patient is now much less than in 1895.
