HOSPITAL PARK"
TO Be NEW NAME
OF BLACKWELLS
Gaynor Asked to Authorize
Change to Remove Stigma
of "The Island"

Blackwell's Island wal to-day den-
nately assured OF becoming Hospital
Park
Charities Commissioner Drummond has
asked Mayor Gaynor to authorize the
change. and his reasons appear to be
so excellant that there Is no doubt that
BlackwvQl's Island has received q solar
plsxus blow. Only q small section OF
the island in the East River. scarcely
twentdeth part Of the land. 10 now
Occupied by the ~workhouse. and psni-
tent1ary. and wen those are to b. r.
soved elsewhere within Ave or slx yearA
A we'll known architect has been en-
ployed 10 draw plans for the Improve
msnt and development OF tho island
along hospital lines exclusively after
the workhouse and penitentiary have
made their exodus. The Home for the
Aged and Innnm will also b removed.
In order to complete the change IN
name . bill Will have to DO passed by
the Legislature. Mr.. Drvmmond In his
letter to the Mayor said:
MY reason for this request 10 that
the name Of Blackwell's Island suggests
the penitentiary and the workhouse. n
people in general think that II you are
going or nave been to Blackwef's you
are disgraced or have been q criminal.
The city pays to semi-prtvate institu-
lions about &45.c 900 a yea for the care OF
maternity cases which are proper public
charges. while most Of them could be
cared for on the island. The name OF
Blackwell's Island Is odious to many
mothers, and they do not like to feel
that their children may be born on
Blackwelrs Island.
Gould this prejudice be r~emoved-and
/ think by changing the name " can be
in time-the respectable poor would
have no objection to going to hospitals
under the jurisdiction Of this depart
ment now situated on Blnckwen's ISL
and. where ample provision u made for
their care.
There has been made by Q we'll
known architect a sketch and scheme
for Hospital Park development of Black
wells Island when the correctional In
stltutions shall nave been removed
therefrom. These Institutions. the work.
house and the p~enitentiary. dt is expect
ed. will be removed from the island
within Ave or six years"
