all citizens to clean the sidewalks be-

has accumulated there during the win
ter? A few do this, but many others do
not and the result Is that the sidewalk
is untidy in appearance and unpleas-
ant to walk upon. A stream from
garden hose will quickly clean the
walk. and win the householder the

Alleged bad management Of -he Cen
tral Dispensary and Emergency Hos
pital IS Inc subject of searching in
vesfigation going on from day 10 day
before the Doard OF Charities. The ex-
animation Of witnesses is carried on
secretly. but ii is known that the nu-
nicinai authorities are probing into thz
methods of administration as we'll a5 the
disscnsions said 10 exist in the board Of
directors of the institution.
The Emergency Hospital IS almost en-
tireIy supported By public funds. while
It's administration is conducted by d
large board OF directors not appointed by
the District Commissioners In view of
the general policy adopted by the Boarl
of Charities, that where public money
goes public supervision should follow,
this Investigate was ordered.
II is alleged that the reports submit
ted by the board of directors have not
been satisfactory. Moreover, charges
have been made 10 the Board Of Chart

been subjected 10 harsh treatment

that the board Of directors have en-

Outside Of the medical staff there are
said to be dissensions in the board Of
directors which nullify proper authority
and discipline among the attending
physicians and nurses. One member OF
the board of directors is charged with

without consulting his colleagues, and
with inaugurating methods which great
