CITY HOSPITAL
PLAN OPPOSED

City Controller Declares That

WOULD BE HANG-OUT
FOR THE IDLE POOR
Declares Men Able to Go to
Work Would Loaf About
the Place

There Ii q decided difference OF
opinion among city officials as to the
adyisability OF building a municipal
hospital as advocated by Mayor-elect
Oscar b. Marx. Mr.. Marx has re-
ceived number OF letters from per.
sons who have had experience with
the lack OF hospital facilities. Cor.
poration Counsel Lawson, a Thomp-
son partisan, when 1t comes to poll
Tics, spoke enthusiastically of the plan
to The Times. He said:
Il believe Mr.. Marks intention TO
obtain a municipal hospital in Detroit
Is very commendable The city needs
more hospital facilities and a mum.
cipal hospital will be Of great benefs
to the poor people"
City Controller Heineman, however,
does not favor the scheme.
by spring the hospital facilities
u Detroit will have been increased
300 per cent" said Mr.. Heineman.
The new Detroit General hospital
will be built, and the addition to Har-
per hospital completed. Detroit will
have ample room for It's sick patients.
The large hospitals now take city
cases; that Is. the poor people are
given treatment and their expenses
are paid by the city. They get excel
lent care, although, perhaps, not all
the accommodations which those re-
ceive who are able to pay for private
rooms. The point Is that the city now
pays a nominal charge for the treat
ment OF the poor known to be worthy
My observations have convinced me
that a municipal hospital is a sort OF
hanging-out place for the idle poor as
well as for the poor who are sick
Men able to go to work. loaf about
such institutions. Why, II Detroit
wanted to take the burden OF expense
OF the shoulders OF all people who
are sick. 1t could appropriate three
quarters OF a million dollars for such
purpose.
The young doctors and internes
carried on the STATS OF some municipal
hospitals are generally incompetents
who can't break into the good private
institutions. They are given their
jobs through political influence. Poll
tics permeates the entire institution
The poor people. are entitled to just
as good medical treatment as are the
rich, and don't believe In letting
incompetent doctors experiment with
the poor any more than with the rich
Such an institution Is very costly
In summer months when the number
Of patients is reduced to a minimum
the organization has got to be kept
up.
II believe that 1t would be more
economical for the city to pay the ex-

in the large private institutions than
To build an institution OF our own"

BURNS MAKES PLEA
FOR YOUNG MEN

Detective William ]. Burns appeared
Unexpectedly In Detroit. Friday. and
addressed the men or the Cadillac
Motor Car Co.. at a banquet In the
Hotel Pontchartrain, In the evening.
Give the young man n chance
don't shut him up In prison II he goes
wrong Mr.. Burns advised, and re-
ceived hearty applause. There are
more men in penitentiaries who ought
not TO be there than men outside who
should be there. The young man will
generally make good II he Is treated
right. | am glad TO see that when
judges are allowed discretion In the
matter OF sending men to prison, they
use 1t wisely. II is not sentimentality
on my part to plead for youthful OF
lenders for as you know I have sent
many men 70 prison.
There are many high-class police
commissioners now In the cities OF
America. Your commissioner Is one
OF the highest type"
tremendous applause greeted this
statement, and Mr.. Burns said: II
am glad to see he is appreciated
here"
Detective Burns called on Prosecu-
tor Shepherd, Friday afternoon, and
discussed the bucket shop raids.
Detroit is showing the way to
other cities In cleaning up crooked
ness" he said. After the campaign
against the loan sharks l received
many letters ASKING how Mr.. Shep-
herd had proceeded so successfully.
II has been the same with every other
crusade. Some cities were not even
aware OF the evils until Detroit woke
them up by cleaning house. The raid
on the bucket shops was the city's
GROWING achievement, for they lead
TO embezzlement and sometimes TO
business failures"
