FAILS TO AGREE ON
HOSPITAL CHANGES
Board OF Health Committee VIII
Further Consider Plan of
New Personnel
Raising Standard OF Emergency
Stewards Considered a
Necessity

The board of health's hospital COM
mittee will meet tomorrow to consider
further the proposed changes in the
personnel of the emergency hospital
service. Yesterday the special examin-
ing board returned TO the civil serv-
Ice commission its findings in the re-
view of the hospital stewards and
nurses examinationssheld recently, and
while the commission has not given
out the results, it is known that the
nurses in the service did wen in their
examination, but that the majority of
the male stewards did not.
The changes proposed recently by the
hospital committee and referred back
TO it for amendment by the board were
twofold. 1t was proposed to get rid
gradually OF the present force of as
sistant surgeons, no fault being found
with their service, but with the idea
of providing good training ground for
fledgling physicians in the work of the
hospitals by limiting the term of an as
sistant surgeon to three years, and hav-
ing a constant succession in the depart
ment. To this was added the scheme
of getting rid of the present stewards
and appointing graduate internes in
their places, the latter to service with
out pay while stewards and until step
ping into assistant surgeon positions.
DR.. Manning of the committee, it is
understood, took exception to these
recommendation OF his associates,E DR..
Huntington and Commissioner Billiard.
Manning pointed out that it was unfair
to the present surgeons, whose eff
cheney was acknowledged, to turn them
out on short notice, and further that
the employment of internes, not hold
ing the state license, might involve the
commissioners in damage suits, where
malpractice was alleged. Raising the
standard of the stewards was held by
all the members of the committee an
Immediately pressing and important
matter, but it was hoped to- secure bet
ter material through the present civil
service route.
No radical action. 1t was stated yes
terday. was likely to be taken either in
the surgeons or the stewards case
before the new fiscal year in July if
then.
