ton, reals: ANY proposition to con-
tract debt, or loan the credit OF the
county to be submitted to a vote OF
the qualified electors in the county

there is so much opposition over the
county to the course pursued by the
commissioners in this matter, the

BOARD CONSIDERS
HOSPITAL PROJECT
University Plan Would Require
Passage of Charter
Amendment
Presidents Wheeler and Jordan
Favor Scheme, but Others
Oppose 1t

The propect broached by President
Wheeler of the University of California
TO the board of supervisors concerning
the care by the university hospital Of
the acute and surgical cases now pro-
vided for under the city and county
hospital plan was exhaustively consid-
cred a a conference of the supervisors
hospital committee yesterday morning.
The conclusion was reached that both
the Importance of the project and the
legal considerations involved demanded
that the board proceed by authority of
charter amendment. this giving the
people, after full discussion, the de-
cisive voice in the matter. The matter
was referred to the city attorney, who
is TO report as to the necessity for d
charter amendment and 10 outline the
procedure.
President Jordan of Stanford univer-
sity was present TO second Wheeler 8
plan, for the three reasons: that 1t was
cheaper, that il would secure the best
medical and surgical attention for the
unfortunates, and that IL would aid
greatly in medical education on the
coast. He stated that the Stanford
trustees, he believed. would favor CO.
operation in the project should the city
adopt it.
DR.. George w Merritt and DIR. James
Ward spoke for strictly municipal
hospital DR.. Charles Levins0n OF the
San Francisco poIyclinic also opposed
the scheme Ward feared that schools
unrepre sented in the university's staff
would suffer, and Merritt spoke OF the
conditions. of the grant to the Affiliated
Colleges presenting difficulties. No hos
pital had been contemplated in the
grant, provision, for example. de-
barring any one sleeping on the
grounds conveyed.
The fact that the city can only enter
into annual contracts. while to Justify
the regents and trustees OF the educa-
tional institutions in making the large
outlays required would necessitate long
contracts, was given as an additional
reason for referring the matter TO the
city attorney and for advocating the
submission of a charter amendment.
The further fact that the people have
was also brought out
A general committee to place the
project before the people and further to
develop it was appointed, consisting Of
the following:

Benning Track Not to-
Have Fall Meet
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

NEW. YORK. Oct 15.-It was official
~ announced todav that the Washing
ton Jockey club will not hold a fall
meeting at the Benning track The
racing dates of November 16 TO 80 were
assigned. but they were declined today
after a conference OF the directors OF
the club.
The passage of an anti-public bet
ting law in the District OF Columbia
in April last was the direct cause of
the suspension OF racing in Washing
ton Under the old law. which spec
ihed the setting up and maintaining
a place and paraphernalfa for gam
bling, the book makers evaded its
penalties by moving about from place
10 place on the lawn and by marking
the odds against the competing horses
on their programs.
But this subterfuge was swept away
oy the passage OF the new law. which
Is very sweeping in its specifications
regarding gambling. book making, pool
selling and betting. The commission
ers OF the District OF Columbia recent
ly gave orders to the police that in the
event of racing at Benning every man
who bet or received a wager must be
placed under arrest.

STREAM UNDER SCHOOL
A MENACE TO HEALTH
Children Who Attend Clement
Primary Get Feet Wet in
Staqnant Water

Originating somewhere on the hill
side back of the schoolhouse. small
stream of running water has burrowed
into the grounds of the Clement primary
school, at Day and Noe streets. and
passing directly under the schoolhouse
emerged in Noe street where it stag
mates in ruts and pools. Parents of chill
dren who attend the school complain
that the stream is menace to health,
as their little ones always come home
with their feet thoroughly soaked and
muddy.
Mrs. T. Quinlan, principal of the
school. has asked the school board 10
pipe the water into a neighboring
sewer.
The school is at present located in a
temporary building, but it is proposed
10 erect first class structure on the
spot If this is done people living in
the neighborhood say that the OBJ
noxious stream must be piped into a
sewer or the health of the children will
be affected.
