THE HOSPITAL SITUATION.

Every physician TO whom the Palla-
dunn has put the question: DO you
think that Reid Memorial Hospital is
worthy of the city's financial SUI.
ORTIZ" has answered in the affirmative.
How else can the institution be
maintained?' was the pertinent query
of one physician. Other classes of
citizens feel the same way about it..
Mayor Schillinger and City Attorney
Study oppose the appropriation on the
ground that it is Illegal because the
city does not directly manage the hos
pital's affairs, therefore-it is not d
public institution. On the other
hand, DIR. c. S. Bond, city health Of
ficer believes that the citys pest
house in West Richmond should be
abandoned and a pest house built ON
the Reid Memorial Hospital grounds
a considerable distance from the hos
pital proper. Ii the city's mayor con-
ours in this idea he will be admitting
that the Reid Memorial Hospital
grounds constitute public property.
Just how the city would have the
eight to build the smallpox detention
hospital on the Reid Memorial Hos
pital grounds if it is not public
ground, is not clear. Admitting that
this is the city's right, then the posi-
ton of the citys executive that the
hospital itself is not a city institution.
is inconsistent to say the least May
or Schillinger has begun his admins
tration by vetoing measure that
called to giving aid to perhaps the
most worthy institution that Rich
mond has. Even the most pointed
technicalities that can be brought to
bear do not make it plain to the aver
age citizen that council is doing an
illegal act when it votes money to an
institution that primarily is for the
people Council viii be justified in
passing the measure over the veto of
the mayor and then if the administra-
ton desires to further block the work
of the institution by bringing suit to
enjoin, the question can be threshed
out in the courts.
