INSPECTOR HILL. OF THE STATE CHARITIES
BOARD, ARRAIGNS SYSTEM AND
MANAGEMENT.

Albany, Jan. s-Inspector Robert ". Hill. who
detailed by the State Board of Charities to at
tend the investigation being conducted by Commits
sioner Keller of New-York City, to the condi-
tions existing Bellevue Hospital. submitted a
report 10 the Board at its meeting to-day. The
report in part says that the investigation has re-
vealed a general lack of discipline and per-
functory performance of duty among the employees
of the institution. That outside of the medical
staff there seems TO have been pride in the ser
vice and in consequence the whole tone of the in
stitution has been very low. and that in spite OF
the orders of the Commissioner, subordinates have
done the things which forbidden, and have
brought discredit upon the whole service Some
have cruelty and abuse of patients and have
remained silent, taking II matter of fact in
which they had interest Orders had been is
sued for the dismissal of all unpaid help, and Of
all given the drink habit but the investigation
revealed the presence of at least twenty-seven
paid helpers and the fact was apparent that very
large percentage of the paid help addicted to
drink The report continues:
The service Of the physician who had been in
examined into, and a letter was sent to the Medi-
cal Board announcing his suspension The two ply
sicans who the examiners in lunacy were be-
fore the Coroners jury, and their testimony was
satisfied to perform their duties in a somewhat
pertunctory manner. for their testimony showed
the patients in the pavilion and based their opin-
tle physical condluon or the patent IN view OF
the necessity OF avoiding the serious mistake of
Wards Island TO some private retreat the Com
missioner has felt it would be unwise TO remove
the two physicians before he is assured that their
successors will be in every way competent.
The report then tells of the appointment of DR..
Stewart superintendent. and says that Commits
sioner Keller promised that political influence
should sway his judgment interfere with the
action of the superintendent, and that he stood
pledged to cleanliness. efficiency and the
best possible service throughout the hospital The
report reads further
The investigation has shown that the whole sys-
tenn at Bellevue has been radically wrong The
service has been of the cheapest character and
the hospital has been what one of the Executive
Committee of the Medical Board called it in the
conference with Commissioner Keller-"a whted
sepulchre." Nothing save a complete change

Chuer the Strong administration systematic
plan was undertaken to put the names Of the citys
sueets ana avenues in prominent positions at all
thelr intersections Unfortunately it was not COM
pleted before Tammany again came into power At
once the useful plan was dropped, and instead Of
II was substituted a crazy scheme of shifting the
signs so that the street name and the avenue name
occupied positions diametrically opposite to the
usual method. and the one to which New-Yorkers
mad become accustomed. To make matters worse
thls brilliant idea only partly carried out the
result to-day being confusion worse confounded.
