BELLEVUE CRITICISMS ANSWERED.
DR.. Brannan Says Points Covered in Physi-
clans Attack Are Provided for.

Some of the criticisms levelled at the plans for
the new Bellevue Hospital which were made by a
physician in letter published yesterday ap-
parently either dsarmed shown to have been
forestalled by DR.. John W. Brannan president Of
the board of trustees In conversation with Trib-
une reporter in the afternoon.
According to the anonymous physician, the
boards plans wofuly inadequate and the de-
signs appear TO be faulty. He suggests that pa
tents corpses should not be wheeled TO the morgue.
but transferred through underground passage.
that the feelings Of convalescents may not be
outraged He thinks that the ambulance service,
with its noise and excitement. should not ply in
plain view of patients visitors: that the ad-
ministration offices should be separate from the
main hospital building. and that the plans as
shown do not provide sufficient light and air.
DR.. Brannan, In reply said
Virtually every one of these suggestions has been
iorestalled. The plans provide for the transfer OF
bodies underground, an ambulance service out OF
view and the separation OF the administration Of
noes by long corridors AS for insufficient light
and air, every ward will have these necessities from
three sides not to name the balconies and roof
gardens.
II is gratifying TO notice. however; that my cor
respondent considers the plans inadequate 10 the
present needs or the institution. in view OF New
