The Springside site was again the
almost unanimous choice of those
who We're interested enough in the
discussion Of the project for locating
the contagious disease hospital to at
tend the public hearing which the
special aldermanic committee held in
city hall last night The hearing last
night was advertised on all the sites
which have been proposed, but
Sprihgside got the most of the discus
sion which resolved itself virtually in
to a contest between those who fav-
ored the springside site and DR..
Wright, the health officer. who OPP
posed It according to the health
boards attitude. A count OF heads re-
vealed that practically all those pres
ent were In favor OF locating the hos
pital as Isolated wards of some of
the existing hospitals II that could be
done, but lfnot Springside had but
three opponents
James G. kerrlgan, the real estate
man, opened the session with n pre-.
sentation Of the beauties of the pro
posed site on the hills in Allingtown
He represented that the site was very
high. healthy, had plenty of water ia.
cilities and was conveniently located
Dr. Wright did not oppose the site but
stated that the permission of the towr
of Orange would have to be secured
to build on this site outside the city
DR.. Wright was the next speaker
He opened by saying II appear tC
favor no site and to oppose none ex
cept Springslde. There is great de-
mand for the contagious disease hos
pital. The people are in need Of thi!
hospital. Any site outside of Spring
side | think a good one"
The doctor was asked to specify hi!

was announced as out of the discus

tee because of the vote to use 1t for
playground, Charles Gay picked Ii
a statement made by DR. Wright as in
dicating that there would be no resi-
dent physician at the proposed hos

altogether, OF course the famil
physicians would lose a little, he sait
II there was resident doctor, bu

Charles Hamilton also stood by tn
