rs HOSPITAL DEFECTIVE2
Emergency Institution at Farm
hurst Subject Of Discussion.
Allegations Made That the Building
Is Not Complete---Walls
Are Damn.

The Trustees of the Poor yesterday af-
ternoon had a spirited discussion over the
new emergency hospital at Farnhurst.
II was brought up by Trustee Roberts,
II member of the building committee, and
he claimed that the new hospital had
not been completed and that It was not
the place in which to place patients snf-
fering with serious Affections. Mr.. Rob
crts claimed that after each storm the
walls OF the structure We're damp, and
that the members of the Grand Jury,
upon their recent visit to the Almshonse.
noticed this fact.
From the discussion it appears that
when the building was erected il was de-
cided to put the plaster of the room on
the brick walls, without any studdinS or
mir space between the inside walls and
outer walls. The result of this is that
after heavy storm the water apparently
soaks through the walls into the rooms.
1t is also claimed that the building
should have water conductors leading
from the roof. Although the building is
underdrainei. there is no provision for
carrying off the rain water fom the
roof, and the consequence is that during
each storm the rain comes down and
running over the edge of the roof blows
against the walls, increasing the damp
ness.
These various defects, if there are such,
were brought ont in the discussion yes
teriay, and after ii was finished II was
decided to leave the matter with the
committee which has charge Of the builds
ing Of the new hospital. As yet the
new structure has not been accepted and
All the money paid on it, but if the com
mittee decides that the building is com
pletei according to specifications, il will
probably be accepted in the near future.
Superintendent Mccoy yesterday report
Cd 10 the trustees that under their in
structions he had purchased the furniture
for the first floor of the new hospital.
for there was only enough money tn
furnish the first floor.
The committee on Buildings reported
that il had inspected the institution and
found everything in excellent shape. Tie
committee suggested the furnishing Of Il
couple Of rooms, where inmates who arr
50 i'll that they cannot recover can he
placed, so that deaths will not occur III
th, general wards. where other inmates
are also located No action was taken
on the suggestion. as the board at Is'es,
cnt cannot spare the money necessary te
equip an infrmary.
The Delaware Insurance Company
made application for permission TO write
n $4,000 policy on the buildings under tht
care of the trustees The application
was referred to the proper committee.

White and Water Department Cases
and Special jury Actions Yet

Indications are that the Superior Court

Unless all indications fail the
world is ripe for the visitation of
a plague that may rage from
Asiatic countries into civilized
nations where modern sanitary
conditions are believed to offer a
bar to the spread of pestilence.
According to DR.. L. r. Barker,
pathologist whose studies of
plague conditions have been
prosecuted at home and abroad.
medical experts believe that a
sweeping epidemic is not only
possible but probable.
DR.. Barker made the startling
announcement recently in the
course of an address before the
Chicago Society of Internal Med
icine. He is a member of the
faculty of the John Hopkins uni
versity and professor of patholo-
gy at Rush medical college.
1.-THE bubonic plague is of es-
pecial interest to us at the pres
ent time" said DR.. Barker, "be-
cause of its recent visitation to
SanFrancisco. Luckily, the
death rate in the California town
was not high, but it's presence
proves that American cities are
not immune.
There has not been a great
epidemic since the fourteenth
century, when 100000 people
were swept away by the black
death, which in all probability
was nothing more or less than
the bubonic plague. Men of
believe that the world
is to be again visited by a great
plague, and there are many signs
pointing out its coming. In
Hindoo writings more than 800
years old the people are warned
that when their is great mortal
ity among rats pestilence and
death is in the air. In India,
when was there and since, rats
are dying by the scores and l
have seen them in the streets of
Bombay running frantically
about until sudden death stop
ped their movements"
