Gaynor started his administration

down to his Office early In the morn

Gaynor has delighted the honest

certain terms that the reign OF the
Blue Tyrant is over. No longer can

Until the seating of Gaynor no

Why a City Hospital Is Needed.

To the Editor OF The Times: Allow
me TO congratulate you on your very
able editorials In general. but in par
ticular the one In last nights edition
on the deplorable condition of our
hospital system in Detroit You only
have been permitted to see the lay
map-side of an outrage that the poor
sick OF our city have been subjected
to for years. II Is only such articles
as yours that will awaken the public
To the sense of its duty, as the pub
lie does not attend medical society
meetings nor read medical journals,
and not only until they are confronted
with sickness among their help are
they brought In contact with the sys-
tenn now In vogue OF admitting and
treating patients who are unable TO
pay. The other side is that people
who wish to enter a hospital and do
not want TO go into a ward are charg-
ed exorbitant prices 10 balance the
one In the ward who is not paying
his share OF the expenses OF running
the hospital Since you have opened
up this crusade, | hope you Will not
leave a stone unturned until some
thing is done to relieve this terrible
condition that exists.
