At this point DIR. Morgan stopped for

He said that to stihe the acts of the

pointed out that $4,000 has been given
to the Emergency Hospital in ten years

Il see Washington far behind other
cities of its class In the care Of the sick
poor because the government spends hum

equip and maintain pay rooms in these
other noble institutions. Nobody on our
board fails to recognize their great serv-

must not block the municipality doing It's
own work in the most economical and eff

''The government of the District has APP

hospitals during the past ten years, but Il
can be truthfully said very few beds have
been added for INDECENT patients in that
