VIEWS OF HEALTH OFFICER
Required to Send Statement of Re-

VIEWS OF HEALTH OFFICER

The authorities OF Garfield Memorial
Hospital will hereafter be requested. 10
submit with such future acquisitions as
they may make for public funds. a state
ment of the receipts and disburseme nts
on account OF private patients treated
in the isolating wards of the institution.
This action was taken yesterday by
Commissioner Macfarland. upon rec
ommendation of the Health officer.
Dr. Woodward's Views
DR. Woodward says that in the months
Of September. October. and November
last there were treated at the hospital.
at public expense, nineteen cases repre-
senting 400 patient-days. And. in spite
of the fact that all these paJients-days.
except four. occurred in September and
October. the cost of the food supplies
more for November than for the other
two months. He explains that. as there
were more pay patients in the hospital I'm
November than IN the months Of Sep
TENDER and October. the cost Of the
food and nursing should have been less
for November than for the other two
months If the pay patients had been
compelled to pay their fair share of the
expenses.
thinks the hospital authorities should
submit statements OF the receipts and
disbursements on account OF the private
patients treated in the isolating wards
of the institution.
