The need for this institution is ur-
gent, as 80 rs one OF the facilities re-

cal charity. Without the hospital the
Board OF Charities is hampered in its
operations. and much want and suffer

Police Court Cases.

The judges Of the Police Court have
several timas reported TO the Board OF
Charities upon this phase Of hospital
work They say there is a class OF peo-
pie in the city who are brought before
them time and again always on the
charge OF drunkenness and vagrancy.
Service in the workhouse is without ef-
feet. the judges say, and they are o:
the opinion that II there was a hospital
to which they could commit such people
il would be the just and humane thing
to do.
Mr. Wilson. after thus enumerating
the special cases calling for treatment
in a municipal hospital under the con
troll OF the Board OF Charities. said that
sound putlic policy requires that al
medical charity should find facilities Tor
its work in a hospital exclusively mu-
nicipal in character. He said that the
field OF private charity is so far re-
moved from that Of public effort in the
same direction that private hospitals
cant OF supply the facilities needed. Mr.
Wise expressed the hope that Congress
would allow the appropriation asked for.
so that the building proposed could be
begun and completed within two or three
years.

Mr.. Wilson said that similar difficult

was tho rule rather than the exception
for persons recovering from serious Ill
ness. who are charges upon the District
to be discharged from private hospitals

class OF iudisents will never be solved
until the tuberculosis ward in the mu-
nicipal hospital is ready for operation.
Mr.. Wilson said that there are a large
number OF polr men and women who are
hopeless ine5riates, who must be cared
for by the District or starve- The prom
er way to treat them, ne said. was to
give them long course I'm the hospital
with baths and similar treatment until
