During the week ending 8 a. m

nearly normal The first part of the
week was hotter than usual, the latter
part slightly cooler, with a weekly
range between maximum of lO4 at
Bstesburg and maximum of IS at

Rain fell somewhere in the State on

THE MUNICIPAL HOSPITAL.
A Hearing Before the Senate sub
Committee ON the District.

a Hearing before ire senate sum
Committee on the District.
A committee of the Senate Com
mittee on the District of Columbia gave
a hearing yesterday afternoon on the bill
providing for the establishment of 4 mu-
nicipal hospital in the District The bill
authorizes the trustees of Columbia Hos
pital to sell that property and to turn
the proceeds into the Treasury. 1t also
authorizes them to purchase at cost not
TO exceed s2eOOO0. site for municipal
hospital and to begin the construction Of
buildings thereon. the value of which is
not to exceed S2G0,0o0.
The Subcommittee was represented by
Senators Mcmillan, Gallinger. and Ken
ney. and speeches favoring the passage Of
the bill were made by Commissioners
Wight ard Ross, DIR. J. W. Bovee, and DR..
Stone, of the medical stan of Columbia
Hospital.
The Commissioners favored locating the
hospital IN the suburbs. where a site of
as much as ten acres might be secured for
it. The other speakers thought it would
be inadvisable to select site far from
the centre of the city. They argued that
many cases require immediate attention.
and that delay would be dangerous. The
present site of Columbia Hospital was
suggested as being desirable, and it was
suggested that modern methods of sani-
tation and ventilation allow the cOnstruc-
tion of hospitals of several stories with
perfect success. so that the hospital need
not spread out over a great deal Of
ground.
