patients, but If extras are demanded, /
$3.50 additional per month shall he /
paid.
I'VE also recommend that if the friends !
OF INDECENT patients are willing to payfo !
these extras. they shall have them at the |
same rate, to-wit, $3.50 per month and |
no more.
I'VE recommend that in case a patient
is only partially INDECENT and is able to
pay a portion of the cost OF his mainte-
nance. that the Executive Committee OF
the Board shall in such case fix the
amounts to be paid by such persons in
accordance with the facts of the case and
his ability to pay.
Eve recommend that in the event that
those legally responsible for the mainte-
nance of said INDECENT shall fail and re-
fuse to pay the charges made for the
same, and the same cannot be collected
by legal process, that said patient be dis
charged from the Hospital.
