$4,000 to some hospital that the State
has no control over. ana do not
think we have any right to appropriate
the money at this time. That is my
objection, | have not a word to say
against that institution. | have no
doubt they are doing grand work.
ana il is tire pride Of Portland. They
have lots of wealthy men in Port
land ana Cumberland county, and if
they do not, after we have given them
Il hospital if they want Ills To run
for the next year, they can put their
hands i'll their pockets and pay for
il. We hay" done all that we can.
We are not in ii condition this year
t" give them one single dollar
! have done my duty Mr.. President.
as | was requested to do.
Mr. MOULToN of Cumberland: Mr.
Pre- sidcnt: | ain opposed to the re-
call of this resolve for various rca-
sens. |" the first place. | think this
Institution is a charitable institution.
1t muSt be- charitable institution,
tor the patients there at the present
time. 81 patients. and Al are at the
hospital aud have been there all the
way from a month to II months. and
not costing them one cent There are
i'll the Institution possibly from 20
Ia 4 patients that are paving. or some
one is paying board noj to exceed
On" dollar per dav.
These patients come from all over
the state. There are in this state
by the last census. or Ev census
taken of the crippled and deformcd.
some over 40 u0n of these crippled or
d"formcd children. This institution
is receiving the services of a man
who is claimed to be the superior Of
any man in New England, who is
giving his entire time, knowledge. Sci
en"e and skill for the benefit of these
children. and not receiving one cent In
pay. | think the State could not pos
slhly invest money t. any better ad-
YaLtage than to give it for the sup
port of this institution for the allovia-
ton of these children for ii is reliev
ing the dcformiteS of these children
They make them able to go out into
! IL" world and earn their own living
For instance. there was y ease in my
own town of ii poor girl. five or six
years ago, that had hip joint disease
and WAS crippled so much that she
was unable to leave her room. Dr.
|
as a charity case. and was persuaded
t. operate. The girl VAS very bright
anu smart. he operated free and
the operation WAS successful and to-
: da, the girl is physically all right and
has been able to attend school and
: has finished her High school course.
