with the new General hospital, the
big addition TO Harper hospital, with
Grace and the rest, can see no
necessity for a city institution" he
says. THE town Is not large enough
to warrant so many institutions. Be-
sides, such hospital would be very
costly, II would probably require ST.
900 900 to erect, and another million
TO equip and maintain.
II don't like the way that poor
patients are treated in Detroit's big
hospitals, but 1t seems to me that the
remedy lies In another direction than
in a city hospital. The city might
pay more for the care OF its poor
patients, thereby insuring moro at.
tention for them. The Good Samari-
tan hospital Is designed to take care
OF a great many poor patients who
would otherwise come under the care
Iof the city physicians. What the city
needs, more than anything else, IL q
good emergency hospital for aglco-
holics and accident cases. Better
facilities in this direction ahould be
provided, but there is no necessity
for big city institution suoh az has

Porter Murphy Declares Haarer
Has Accomplished More
Than Predecessors
WAS CONFRONTED WITH
MANY BIG PROBLEMS
These, It's Claimed, Have Been
Solved Satisfactorily-"Jake"
a Hard Worker

II have been In the department or
public works since 1885, and served
through five administrations, and I
unhesitatingly say that Commissioner
Haarer has accomplished more for
the benefit Of the city than any other
official within my experience" said
Porter j. Murphy secretary OF the de-
partment of public works.
Few people realize that in the
seven and half years of Haarers
incumbency, the area OF this city has
increased about '25 per cent In that
length of time there have been great
changes In paving, sewer and side
walk construction, not only in the an.
nexed territory but within what con-
stituted the old city limits. The
changes have been 80 great that one
could almost say that the city has
been reconstructed, so far as coli
Germs its sewer, paving and sidewalk
work
The city has emerged from com
parative insignificance to one OF the
greatest in the country, with exten-
sive manufacturing enterprises which
tax heavily the paving and sewer
facilities These improvements have
had TO keep up with the amazingly
rapid development OF the city. The
last seven and a half years have been
a transformation period in the public
work OF this city. The work has been
accomplished satisfactorily. The next
commissioners, whoever he may be,
will have an easy time of it-because
the city has now been put In shape.
Expenditures will be lower and those
made will go still further to enhance
the appearance of the city, 30 that
the next commissioner Will receive
most OF the credit for the excellent
work done in the last seven anu a
half years by Jake Haarer.
When Haarer took office most OF
the sidewalks of this city were OF
wood and were rapidly breaking down
and causing accidents TO pedestrians
At that time there was pending
against the city damage claims
amounting TO 100000 At the pres
ent time the claims amount to less
than $4,000. This means that the
department has been extraordinarily
busy in replacing old wooden side
walks with cement walks. The for
mer commissioners we're not so much
concerned with that problem.
About the time Haarer took office
the city was abrogatlng It's contract
for the collection of garbage with q
private company. This work-some
thing former commissioners never had
to do-was suddenly thrust on the de
partment The department took over
an antiquated garbage equipment as
cheaply as It could. AS the city con
tinued to grow, Haarer repeatedly
asked for more horses and bettel
