HOSPITAL IS LOSER
Facing $1,000 Deficit on Con-
tract With the District.
RESULT OF AN EPIDEMIC
Increase in Number of Scarlet Fever
Cases Upsets Calculations Based
on Average.

Because of the recent epidemic Of scar
let fever, which jumped the average of
this disease far beyond the average for
the last five years. Garfield Hospital finds
itself facing a $1,000 deficit, and Auditor
Tweedale is Of the opinion that the hos
pital and not the District of Columbia
must stand for it.
Garfield Hospital contracted at the be-
ginning Of the fiscal year with the Dis
trict Of Columbia to take care Of scarlet
fever cases. These cases have been turn
ed over to Garfield for several years
without any contract, according to DR..
Woodward. health officer. This year,
however, the hospital asked for a con-
tract.
According to the statement of Dr. W.
o. Owens, chairman of the hospital
executive committee. the agreement was
based upon the average number of scarlet
came the scarlet fever epidemic of this
year, with it's eight hundred cases, and
the estimated figures were exceeded.
The contract provides that the District
Of Columbia shall pay the hospital
$1,000 this fiscal year. to maintain the
receive and treat all scarlet fever patients
sent there by the health officer at a dol
lar hospital day. provided. however. that
when the sum Of 5000 shall have been
paid. the hospital should receive and treat
scarlet fever patients sent by the District
without charge. The total liability on
the Districts part was set at $1,000.
Auditor vetoes Claim.
There is disposition on the part of the
health officer to allow this $3.50, and the
matter may yet be sent to him for COM
ment. Auditor Tweedale was given the
subject for an opinion. He says, speak
ing OF the contract:
IL am unable to see how the hospital
authorities can come forward with good
grace and in substance ask of the Com
missioners that they recommend to Con-
gress the granting Of an additional ap-
preparation of $500. Nor do I see how
the Commissioners can, in the face Of this
contract, very well go before Congress
and request such an appropriation.
Understood at the Time.
Before the contract in question was
executed its stipulation We're very care
fully gone over by DR.. Owens, chairman
Of the executive committee of Garfield
Hospital, and it was his understanding at
the time, as we'll as that of this Office,
that If the cost Of maintaining the isolat-
ing ward during this fiscal year should be
greater than the amount of the appro-
priation, no further demands would be
made on the District"

Both Soliciting Funds.

Soy. Bates told the committee today
that the American Medical Association,
as well as the National League of Medi-
cal Freedom, which he represented, were
both soliciting funds, one to fight for the
proposition Of a department Of health and
the other against it.
.It would be much better" suggested
Chairman Mann. IF all OF this money
" ere spent to improve the health of the
people,
The league which I represent would
prefer that" responded Mr.. Bates.
Not only did Mr.. Bates oppose the
various bills to create department or
bureau Of public health, but also op-
posed the Mann bill to enlarge the scope
Of the public health and marine hos7
pital service and TO change its name to
the public health service lie said he
believed it's tendency would be the same
as the other-tilat is, to limit the p-ac-
tice Of medicine.
The committee was interested in Mr..
Bates views Of the powers of the federal
government with regard to stopping the
spread OF the bubonic plague in California.
Mr.. Bates declared that in the end that
has been settled by the adjoining states

HALF MILLION TOO LOW
Attorney General Lacked Funds for
an Appraisement.
OFFERS MADE FOR PARCELS
They Are Much Higher Than Fig
ures Given in Mr.. Wickersham's
Preliminary Report.

Discussion OF the preliminary report OF
Attorney General Wickersham on the
financial condition CT the George Wash
ington University, which was recently re-
ferred to the House committee on the Dis
trict Of Columbia, has developed the fact
that the actual assets Of the university
are rated at nearly half a million dollars
more than the valuation placed upon
them in the preliminary report.
The difference between the figures in
the Attorney Generals report and those
carried by the university is due to the
fact that the bureau of investigation o.
the Department OF Justice has taken the
assessed instead of the actual valuation
of the real estate of the university.
The assessed valuation Of the property
owned by the university Is as I. oTs.
University hall and law hall, 1881, p;
medical hall and hospital. $215.0i9; resi-
dence at 1907 street, S1S,923. g-vernment
lets, S25.621; lot next to 1907 l rect,

Senior Castrillo. representative in Wash

retreat.

Actual Value Much Higher.

The actual value of the property, based
on conservative estimates of real estate
men, and compared with the selling price
Of property in the immediate vicinity, is
as follows: University hall and Law hall,
$4,000; Medical half and hospital. s4OS.-
500.93: residence at 1907 / street, 10000:
government lots. $40, 74O.S0: lot next to
1907 l street, $1,000; total, 81, O93 240. %.
The difference between the actual value
and the assessed valuation Is S414,S16.27.
The assessed valuation of university
hall and law hall is at the rate Of $40
a foot. The property on tie opp rs tie
corner. on which the Union Trust build
ing was erected. sold for ST foot, and
the university has had an offer for its
property on the basis Of $3.50 a foot.
When the estimate of the university
property was made, the opinions of the
real estate men consulted varied from $50
to S45 foot, and the officers OF the uni
versity selected the lowest figure in max
ing their estimates OF the assets of the
university.
Applies to Other Property.
A similar difference between the as
sessed and actual value is found in the
figures of the other pieces Of property
owned by the university. The figures Of
the university were in each case selected
after consultation with real estate men
and after taking into consideration the
value of adjacent property or offers that
have been made for the property.
In his letter the Attorney General ex-
plains that as there was no appropriation
available which would permit him to pro-
cure expert testimony as to the actual
market value Of the real estate of the
university. he took the valuation at which
the property is appraised for purposes Of
taxation.

service, after President Tafts recon-
mendation for some action Of this sort
had been received. Mr.. Mann said frank

TO NAME COMMISSIONER.

Taft Will Appoint Former Confed-
crate Officer to Mark Graves.
1t is expected that the president
during the week will appoint a com
missioner for marking graves of con-
federate soldiers and sailors who
died in northern prisons during the
civil war. That Office has been va
cant since the death of Col. William
c. Oates of Alabama a few weeks
ago
The work of marking these graves
has been in progress for several
years, in accordance with the Fora
ker act making provision for it. 1t
was inaugurated by Col. Elliott of
South Carolina, who died near the
end of his first year of service. 1t
was then carried on by Col. Oates.
1t is believed that the work can be
completed within another year or
two.
The names of number of former
confederate officers have been sug-
gested to the president. for appoint
ment to the vacancy.
