DRIVER PLACED

Complaints Made to Police
of Improper Use of Side

SHERIDAN STREET CASE

Frequently drivers in various parts
of the city use the sidewalks when
the roads are in poor condition, and
complaints have been made to the po-
lice. An effort is being made to
break up the practice. which is vio-
lation OF the city ordinance and pun
ishable by a fine.
Superintendent f. L. Gridley, OF
the Chesebroukh Faseline works,
telephoned to the police yesterday
afternoon and reported that the side
walks on Sheridan street were being
used as driveway. He said that the
traffic on the walks was running
them.
Patroiman Wood was detailed by
Sergeant Dunham to go to Sheridan
street, and his presence seemed "a
keep the wagons in the road. Al
about $40 o'clock, however, the po-
liceman saw a man turn froul the
road and start TO drive on the walk
He placed him under arrest and took
him to the police station. where he
gave his name as Myer Drower, thir-
ty years old, of A Charles street.
He was paroled to appear for q
hearing this morning but word was
received just before court that he

INTERESTED IN
HOSPITAL BILL
Meant fo Apply to Such Coun-
ties as MiddIesex Where
Hospitals Are Helped.
TELL OF EXPENDITURES

There is much interest in the
hospital bill which Assemblyman
Voorhees, has introduced in the leg
islature as told In the EVENING
NEWS yesterday.
This bill is designed, it is under
stood, to help counties like Middle
sex, which have more than one hos
pital, to ascertain Just how the
money appropriated for hospitals
should be divided For instance, in
Middlesex there are three general
hospitals. The Perth Am boy hospi-
tai this year was allowed $1,000, the
Wells Memorial Hospital, of New
Brunswick, $4,000, and the St. Pc
ter's Hospital, of New Brunswick,
$2,500.
These allowances have been made
arbitrarily, or at least without any
exact data as to whether the institu-
tions cared for county charges In
those proportions. There is no law
compelling the institutions to file re
ports. Some reports have been filed.
but they were purely matter of
courtesy by the officials, who were
not obliged to do SO. Some of these
officials, however. have felt that 1t
would be more equitable arrange
ment to have reports from all the
institutions filed under a general
law, so that 1t could be seen at a
glance whether one institution was
getting its proper share of county
funds for the work it does for the
county
In this way it might be shown
that the one Perth Amboy hospital
ought to be getting more than the
two New Brunswick one And, on
the other hand. it might not. Or It
might be shown that one New
Brunswick hospital should be in
creased and the other decreased. At
any rate it will enable Boards of
Freeholders In every county to make
the apportionmentsA with some de-
gree of accuracy, instead of guessing
at it.

Use as the company now has orders
