"It will be seen that the Queen s
Hospital comedies all we asked, com.
prising full ward privileges including
operations for city indigents, the right
of visitation and the right of auditing
the hospital accounts, together with the
right of the City and County Physician
to discharge city indigents from the
hospital.
"An ordinance will be necessary to
regulate the sending of indigents to the
hospital and to define the duties of
the City and County Physician and the
physician to the police station, which
your committee will have drafted and
submitted as soon as possible.

out opposition. According to the terms
of the agreement referred to, the
Queens Hospital will admit all indi-
gent persons at the rate of $1.50 per
hospital day of "a hours on requisition
i, by the City and County Physician, or

, cases, by the Police Physician. No

A Lapse of Memory.
h A lapse of memory or the part of
d Supervisor Logan in connection with
a the plumbing ordinance gave Mayor
Fern the notion that an attempt was
n being made to job him, that the Board
0 was attempting to put one over with
S out his knowing it, and he said SC
r quickly and emphatically. He got the
e idea that an attempt was going to be
Q made by the Board to throw out all
t his appointments, and he manned his
Q batteries and stood ready for action
+ should hostilities arise. But nothing
o serious happened.
/. The plumbing ordinance came NJ
n for second reading after having been
IS as Logan explained, revised by Depu
ty County Attorney Milverton and the
Committee and some unimportan
changes made. Logan stated that stht
A. changes were merely technical, to make
the ordinance conform to the law anC
prevent any trouble from arising. HI
y moved, therefore, that the measure, in
G. stead of being read throughout, pas
10 its reading by title merely.
d But Kane, who had sat quiet TO
d some time and was apparently payini
a no attention to what was going on
p. aroused himself enough to say that h
I. wanted the first paragraph of the OF
dinance as well as the title read, Thi
le being a small request, the Clerk start
