DR.. Robert Reyburn, chairman of the
committee on medicine at the Howard
University. wrote TO the District Com
missioners yesterday on behalf of the
trustees and faculty of that Institution
opposing the bill recently introduced in
the Senate by Senator Mcmillan, and
which provides for the erection of a mu-
nicipal hospital.
This step has been taken by the univer-
sity authorities in view of the fact that
il the municipal hospital bill passes the
work now done at the Freedman's Hos
pital will be transferred to the new inisti-
tuition. DR.. Reyburn requested that
hearing be granted to the trustees and
faculty of the university and the Com
missloners have consented, determining
upon next Monday morning at II O'Clock
as the date for the conference.
The project for the municipal hospital
is the result of lengthy report submit
ted TO Congress early last Spring by the
joint select committee to investigate the
charities and reformatories in the District
of Columbia. Present indications are that
the bill viii be pressed and passed by
Congress during the present session. al
though considerable debate may attend its
consideration.
The bill authorizes the trustees of the
Columbia Hospital to sell that property
and turn the proceeds into the Treasury
Department, and further provides that the
trustees purchase n site, upon which
buildings will be erected such as may be
fot. h.a 1rfln q pf he
INDECENT sick of the District, including
maternity cases The title TO any lands
which may be purchased must be ap-
proved by the Attorney General Tho
plans and estimates for all buildings must
be approved by the District Commission
ers. and all admissions to the new hos
pital will be governed by rules prescribed
by the Commissioners. The bill also pro.
vides for an appropriation of 100000 for
the site and a further sum of $4,000 I,
begin the erection of the buildings to bt
contracted for. which are not to cost more
than 100000. When the hospital has beer
established it will take the patients being
treated in the Columbia, Freedmans and
the aImshouse hospitals.
The Plan Highly Indorsed.
The project is indorsed by the members
of the join; select committee on charities,
the District Commissioners and the super
intendent of charities, The opposition of
the faculty of Freedman's Hospital is not
a surprise TO these officials, as II was ex-
pected when the bill was introduced, In
view Of the recommendations contained in
the special report of the joint select com
mittee last March. When completed the
municipal hospital will avoid the crowd
ing and disproportionate accommodation
of hospital patients, provide for con-
iagious diseases, regulate the admission
and discharge of INDECENT patients and
avoid duplication of work. The matter
of economy is also an important point in
favor of the new institution.
The joint select committee On charities
favored the erection of the municipal hos
pital after receiving the recommendations
made by DIR. Henry NJ. Hurl, superin-
;endent of Johns Hopkins Hospital in Bal
hmore, and DR.. John B. Chaplin physician
in chief and superintendent of the de-
partment for the insane of the Pennsyi-
