This matter OF Gratutties was first discussed
generally BY the newspapers a few weeks ago.
when the question OF voting the usual bonus
to newspaper reporters came mp For years it
had been customary TO present $500 TO every
reporter assigned to tho House or Senate.
These reporters are paid by the papers they
represent and do not q particle OF work for tho
State. Tho $500 was amply a gift. This year
every newspaper Of standing in the State came
out against the reportorai grab. as 1t is called.
and several OF the reporters announced that
they would not accept the gratuity Despite
all this the Senate passed the measure grant
ing tho Rratuity. but public opinion had
reached such a stage regarding the matter
that the House voted It down.

When the ambulance system was first introL
duced into New York. supersedtng the prints
tive method OF using stretchers," wagons and
carriages for the transfer OF the suffering, 10
was customary for the hospitals having an
ambulance service to respond promiscuously
to the calls sent them. AS consequence Of
this as many as three or four ambulances re-
sponded In single case to the great confusion
OF the neighborhood. the gathering OF large
crowd. to the imminent injury by fright OF tha
injured person, and with strong probability
OF other cases being neglected by reason OF the
absence OF so many am balances at one time on
O single case.
More recently the matter has been system-
atlzed by the subdivision OF New York into
ambulance districts. whereby each hospital
having an ambulance service covers q certain
amount OF territory and does so exclusively
and without confusion. though not always
without delay. Tho question has often been
asked and pecey satisfactorily answered how
