For CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.

The plan TO establish a contagious
disease hospital by the aid of the city
and county will provide a long-needed
institution and help very much in the
abatement of scarlet fever and diph-
liberia. In the absence of any place for
the isolation and proper treatment of
these diseases, it has been almost i'm
antine regulations, and the resultant
loss of life. the expense to the afflicted
and TO the community at large have
been intellectually greater than the
annual cost of maintaining a hospital.
No individual home can provide such
attention and scientific care as a we'll
managed hospital can. particularly in
these contagious diseases where watch
fulness and prompt attention at all
times mean life or death to the patient
1t has been little less than a public
scandal that Salt Lake has so long ig-
nored the demands of common humani-
ty and common sense, compelling the
people to endure conditions that can
easily be improved at small cost; in
deed. the ultimate results of the es-
Enlistment of the hospital ought to be
a big cash gain to the community, to
say nothing Of the larger saving in
human life and suffering.
The county commissioners, it is I'M
derstood, approve of the proposal sub
mitted to them. and the matter is now
before the city council. Action should
be prompt and favorable, so that steps
may be taken Immediately to stamp out
the diseases which have made such
alarming Roadway here and are appa-
rently beyond restraint except by the
most rigorous methods.
