Fear Building Law VIII
Wipe Out Private
Hospitals.
Propose Making Protest
to the Board Of
Supervisors.
DR.. COffey Declares That
Institutions Funds Are
insufficient.

ssWffh the proposed building ordi-
nance in force, the public that may
need hospital service will suffer. Re-
strictsng hospitals and sanitariums to
classes and ID means that private
hospitals will be entirely crushed out
of existence in Son Francisco.r-Dr. w.
B. COney.
Medical men and the attendant pro-
fessions are greatly exercised over that
section of the building law that relates
to hospitals. The new law Will force
hospitals TO be built either of class A
or class B type and physicians declare
that tn4s will be impossible. save for
some of the more wealthy public hospi-
tails A large sum OF money cannot be
put into the construction of building
and enough realized to pay interest on
the investment, they say.
DR.. T. 7. Shumate appeared at the
meeting of the Board of Supervisors
yesterday afternoon with the intention
OF making protest against such
measure being permitted He was in
formed. however. that in all probability
the ordinance would be finally passed
next Monday and that if amendments
were needed they could be made at
later date. 1t is understood that the
physicians will make formal protest
and ask TO be heard before there is
final action by the board.
Dr. W. B. Coffey, in speaking of the
situation said:
Thirteen hospitals were wiped out of
existence by the fire. Most of these
hospitals would be unable to conform
to the new law. To build Glass A or 3
would necessitate expense running into
the hundreds of thousands Of dollars.
There would be absolutely no oppor-
unity of realizing on sucn an invest
ment. Take a private hospital, for in
stance, that has from fifty to seventy
i've patients. If such a building as
contemplated by the ordinance were
erected its rates would be prohibitiVe
TO patients. 1t would have to charge
$50 or more a week, and now many of
the people of this city could afford TO
pay that?
At the present time most of our pa
tients refuse 10 go into brick buildings.
wooden buildings. two stories in
height. areproof so far as that is pos
sible. suit the medical profession. Look
at the way the City and County Hos
pital has stood. The Presidio Hospital
is considered one of the finest equipped
on the coast and yet il is a wooden
building. This measure would put pri-
yate hospitals out of business. l am
not objecting to the type of building
the Supervisors want but | merely
wish TO point out that we are not pre-
pared for such exacting conditions.

tne paltry sum in debate, but the prin-
clple involved that impelled him to
stand firm against paying the five
cents demanded. IF it had been the
nrst time such extortion was attempted

he declared. but once before the same

Then he informed the court that he

with alacrity and Mr.. Tuckis dismissed.
Grand larceny was the charge
booked against George Martin. and
Patrolman Dowd averred that he dis
covered him in the act of rifling the
pockets OF Henry Meyer. who was in
toxfcated and asleep upon one of the
wharves. To secure the testimony of
Mr.. Meyer, he, too, was arrested and
booked for drunkenness.

Henry was awakened and informed of
Georges conduct he expressed severe

As complainant against Joseph Kane,
accused of peace disturbance, appeared
John Nave, barber with both eyes
bruised and blackened. He explained
the facial disagreement by Informing
Judge Conlan that he undertook to
restrain Mr.. Kane while that person
was slapping the head of Mrs Kane
as the twain were walking at Sacra-
mento and Walnut streets.
When I said, Let the woman
alone" Mr.. Nave testified, "he turned
around and smashed me between the
eyes and kept coming after me until
the policeman grabbed him"
Patrolman Lean did the grabbing,
and after he conveyed Mr.. Kane to the
nearest patrol box he was orally and
fstically abused by his prisoner until
Patrolman Smith went to his aid, when.
for obvious reasons, the struggle
ceased.
1t wasn't my wife, but my young
daughter that / slapped" said Mr..
Kane to the Judge. She lodged
around her mother. and guess this
fellow that butted in thought 1t was

Honor you had no right to discipline

Indeed, you are such thoroughly
reckless and combative person that
you must remain in custody until the

Mr.. Kane bestowed reproachful
giances at all concerned in his prose-
cution as he resumed his seat among
the miserables.
