HOSPITAL FOR
 CITY TALKED 5 To Be Voted on Deem
 Der IA. CONFER BLOCKED A REQUEST Mr. Moritz Gives Reasons Why Bond Issue Should Carry. Present Facilities Are Inadequate And City Owes To Suffering
 Poor. To Give Them Aen '.t
CONFER BLOCKED A REQUEST

The adverse position taken by Mayor Teague on the question of a municipai hospital has given rise to comment. He maintains that 1t would cost more than the city could afford to keep it going, even if the bonds. amounting to $50.00o. as provided for in the bond election to be held December IA. could be easily carried
 Mr. Teague has said that 1t would cost approximately $15.000 annually for maintenance, that sat present the city cannot afford to carry the extra load, and 1t is unnecessary when the service rendered by St. Margaret's Hospital and private infirmaries, Is considered. He Is supported in this position by many.
 While opposition to a city hospital Is strong. there is at the same time a strong sentiment in favor of the hos pital, expressed In many substantial quarters. the new hospitals chief ad- vocate, possibly, being Alderman c. F.. Moritz. Chairman of the Finance Com mittee of the City Council. In speak Ing of the matter Sunday night, Alder man Moritz said:
 q am surprised that a gentleman of such philanthropic and charitable in1- pulses as the mayor is known to be. should be opposed to a measure that is Tn ltseI tne epltome or charily. III this day and time the greatest and most endurable charity Is that which alleviates the suffering of humanity. More charity can be done in the way of hospital work than any other in Montgomery. We have hundreds of good citizens other than those who are destitute, who. because of their limited means and incomes. are unable when they or their dependents are
 tricken with sickness or are injured.

ance and treatment that free hos pital would afford. and therefore a municipal hospital would be in direct line of ministering to their needs
 The existence of a oity hospital, Dr. Griel. the City Physician, tells me, would make the demand for an am- bulance imperative. and the need of an ambulance is so keenly felt that 1t Is necessary to enlarge on this point. The city physician has reported cases that might have been saved had 1t been possible to get the injured per- son quickly and carefully to an operat- Ing room. He says the construction of the police patrol wagon renders this vehicle unfit for ambulance service, that 1t Is too rough. is not appointed as an ambulance, and in times of sor- est need may be at work in other parts of town. I do not think the question of few hundred dollars so expended should be considered when the amount of good the ambulance would do is considered, when that amount of good stands directly. in many instances for human life.
 At present the city is expending a. 900 annually in hospital work, ex- slusive of the emergency hospital, which will have to be maintained any way as. a separate institution. be- cause of its use for cases of contagi- ous disease. Each patient the city sends to St. Margaret's Hospital costs $1 day. the amount being taken from the municipal funds. St. Mar garet's hospital is not a charity in- stitution such as city of the size of Montgomery needs.
 Ladies Aid Association.
 If the city decides to erect muni- cipal hospital, the Ladies' Infirmary Aid Association, at a business meet ing. decided to give to the hospital fund $7.00o. which they now have on hand. and lots in their possession valued at 321.500. situated at Perry and Lawrence. and BainbrIdge and Alabama Streets. This property and ready money will add S28,500 to the $5O.000- provided for in the bond elec- tion. This money and property will only be given If the city will pledge itself to build and maintain a muni- cipal hospital.
 'Dr. GrieI has been making caIcula- tions and has in his possession tenta- tive plans that provide for the cree tion of the hospital at a cost of $49.- 900. The equipment will cost between $fo, ,oO0 and $15.00O and after the most careful calculation and comparison with statistics obtained from similar institutions, has ascertained that an nual maintenance will cost between S5,O00 and $7,000. Information from Mobile is to the effect that the hos pital there Is conducted at an expendl- ture averaging annually s5.000 and the results have been more than satis- factory.
 When St. Margaret's Hospital was planned for some ten or twelve years ago, the citizens subscribed something ike Sl3,000 to the fund for It's erection or maintenance. A similar subscrip- tion. would not be amiss In the present case.

Stover was arrested near DanVille on the charge of having entered the bedroom of Miss White on the night of October 1Sth. The young lady was unable to give any description of the negro who was in her room. There was no direct evi- dence against Stover, but circum7 stances pointed to him.
 The men who composed the lynchins party had their faces blacked and so far as known there was not person who recognized a single man In the mob when they rushed in and took the negro away from tine officers at Hart seile as they were in the act Of plac- ing the negro on a train and bringing him to the county jail in Decatur.

that recently the heirs of Emmanuel Lehman has purchased s200,000 site near New York City for a charity home and had endowed 1t with S75.o00. The interested parties in Montgomery were informed that this was the disposition that had been made of the amount that might have come to Montgomery. A local citizen saw one of the Lehman heirs in New York recently and was frankly told that the bequest had been switched from Montgomery to New York because of the stand Governor Conner and hts Legislature took toward the possible investment of Northern capital in the South.
 But in spite of this" Mir. Moritz continued. we are going to keep on until we have a municipal hospital. There Is enough influence back of the movement to assure the erection and maintenance of such an institution"

 That is easy to see.
 A walk through the spacious floors will show you p.ices lower than you would think the manufacturer would have to, get for the furniture right at the factory And this fact alone has been the reason why the National Sales Go. have managed to get as much money during less than 10 days selling as Ellis Grant could have got in two or three montns at the regular prices.
 Which shows that Montgomery peo- pie are alive to their own Interests when it comes to saving mOney-apd demonstrates clearly that plenty of cur rency can be forthcoming when there's a good and sufficient reason for 1t.
