Mr.. Holzner reminded the Hebrews
that they have been getting but little
political support for their city hospital,
Beth Israel. This institution has an ap-
preparation from the city of $3.50 annually,
while the other city hospitals get just ten
times this amount. The Alderman de-
clared he would make a motion shortly
before the finance committee of Common
Council that Beth Israel Hospital. get the
Same financial support as the other hos
pitfalls.
Early speakers on the list took so much
time those coming near the end had to
curtail their remarks. Congressman lie

sure the big turnout showed a healthier
political condition on the "Hill" than had
existed in the section for years., and AL
