Member Of Board Explains
January Expenses.
SUPPLIES BOUGHT FOR YEAR.

The expense of maintaining River
side hospital will be Investigated by
a special committee of the general
council that was appointed last
night. 1t is said that IL the COM
mittee finds the expense account can
be reduced. recommendation along
this line will be made by the COM
mittee to the hospital board The
committee will also investigate ru-
mors of other conditions at tho
Institution. n fg al .,x2
According to Chairman George
Hannin. of the finance committee, of
the lower board. the bills have been
growing every month until January
when the accounts presented for pay
ment reached the maximum. The
total accounts for that month were
s1,432.10. At the last meeting of
the finance committee the matter
was discussed and it was decided to
look into the matter. President
Foreman, of the council. last night
appointed Councilmen Duvall, Han
min, and Horton as a committee
from that board.
When DR.. Horace Rivers. secre-
tary of the hospital board. was seen
by reporter for The Evening Sun
today, he was free to discuss the sit
uation and he says he considers the
bills not exorbitant, considering the
large amount of supplies purchased
during January to run for the entire
year. 1t is apparent that the finance
committee is stirred up over the
laundry bill, especially. In ex-
planning the expense account, DR..
Rivers said the first intimation of it
came to him yesterday when a men,
Der of the finance committee inquir-
ed of him in regard to the high
prices. DR.. Rivers said part of the
expense account had been carried
over from the latter part of Novem-
ber, 1909. including bills for that
month. December and January. He
also said the hospital purchased 8
bales of cotton costing s77.50. which
was enough to last through the year
and even longer.
! The laundry bill OF the month
amounted TO s117.90. while the light
bill was s97.13. The sotal amount
of supplies necessary was si.004.15.
while s301.65 was expended for
hired help and marketing. The
salaries for the month were s126.30.
DR.. Rivers said many supplies to run
the full year are purchased the FIRST
of every year and that the bill in
January was necessarily larger than
other months.
