HOSPITAL TALK
Everybody Satisfied by Mr..
zabriskie's Offer Except
the Faganites.

The declaration made by Cornelius
Zabriskie, the well known banker, yes
terday, that he is still willing to give
$150,000 to a fund Of S3O0,000sfor the
construction of new City Hospital pro-
yiding that the management of the insti-
tuition shall be far removed from the
control of political influences, was more
pleasantly received by the great bulk Of
taxpayers than by the administration
officials.
DR.. McGill has promised to put his
name down for $4,000, which leaves
only $125,000 to be pledged before it
would be possible for the city to benefit
by the bankers generosity.
1t is understood that Mr.. Zabriskie
believes that Dr. McGill is right in his
contention that Jersey City should have
an up-to-date City Hospital, free from
the evils of political influences, and for
that reason renewed his offer Immediately
after returning from his European trip.
The administration. it is said, is per-
fectly satisfied with the City Hospital act
which saddles the expense of building the
hospital ON the city at large. 1t doesn't
want public spirited citizens to present
the city with hospital building on the
conditions exacted, and for that reason
is not particularly overjoyed over Mr..
Zabriskie's offer.
Much comment has been caused by
Mr.. Zabriskie's statement that he told
the Mayor long time ago that he was
willing to make substantial gift to the
city. Instead of putting the city in a
position where it could benefit by the Of
fer, and asking other citizens to raise the
balance of $300,000, the Mayor disre-
garded the bankers proposal, had law
passed authorizing an issue of bonds,
and turned down DR.. McGill for appoint
ment as one of the new Hospital Board.
