REID HOSPITAL REPORT WAS ADOPTED
WITHOUT AMENDMENT, AS BAVIS URGED

three councilmen voting against it,
VESSEL Weishaupt and Evans.
The Wayne County Medical society
bugaboo entered into the discussion
again, when Bavis was asked if this
society would not be able to elect
whom it pleased. The selection by the
terms of the report is left to the ply
sicians of the county, the section re-
ferring to this matter reading, land
two licensed physicians to be chosen
by and from the licensed physicians
of the city OF Richmond and Wayne
county"
The non-members of the medical or
ganization of the county are in the
minority, but they will attend the call
ed meetings which will be held for
the purpose of choosing physician-trus-
tees and will have as much chance as
any other minority has to elect it's can
didates explained Bavis, who said that
this procedure in the opinion of the
committee, was the lesser evil of all
those encountered in finding a method
of selecting two doctors to serve on
the board
The Bavis communications follows.
To the Mayor and Members of Com
: mon Council
Gentlemen:
At regular meeting of your hon
orable body, held March 18th. it was
deemed advisable to rescind the &C
ton of council at it's special session
held Wednesday, March 18th to the
extent of reconsidering the accept
ance of the committees report per-
tanning to the Reid Memorial hospital,
with the result that you recommend
ed change in the method of select
ing the members of the medical pro-
fession, who shall serve as members
of the board to-wit: "They shall be
selected as their names appear alpha
betically upon the list of licensed ply
sicians of Wayne county"
| have no doubt that you acted in
what you thought.a spirit of fairness
toward all members of the profession,
anticipating possible discrimination
against non-members of the Wayne
County Medical society.
1t is very unfortunate that the
Wayne County Medical society should
be allowed to influence your actions
in determining the merits of your
committees recommendations.
The committee ignored all considera-
ton of said society in it's recommended
lions, for the very reason of it's being
possible, if the selection was left to
the society, non-members might feel
aggrieved if they thought they were
not getting proportionate representa-
ton on the board, hence we left the
selection to the Medical Profession of
Wayne County" which gives to the
non-members of the society, a proper
tionate vote to their number
The question of supreme importance
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1912-04-02

The hospital controversy was re-
opened at the meeting of council last
night, by a communication from A.
Bavis, chairman of the hospital probe
committee, in which he urged that the
council rescind it's action of March
IS, when it designated that the selec-
ton of physician members OF the
board of trustees of the Reid Memoir
ial hospital be made from the list OF
physicians alphabetically. After a
short discussion, motion to rescind
the action was made, and the report
left in it's original form. The motion
made to adopt the report in its origi-
nal form was then put to council, and
adopted by a vote of eight to three.
But one objection was made to the
adoption of the original report which
provides for the appointment of two
trustees by and from the licensed ply
sicians of the city and county. This
came from DIR. Zimmerman, who stated
that in his opinion the doctors of the
county, living outside of Richmond,
should not have any voice in hospital

a city institution, supported by mo-
ney contributed by the city. He said
they could not satisfactorily fill the
positions on the board, as some of
the physicians living in the small
towns could not be here when needed.
This objection did not appeal to the
councilmen.
The communication by Bavis was
read under the head of unfinished
business, and Councilman Burdsall
Immediately arose and stated he had
reconsidered his suggestion of March
IS, that physician trustees be appoint
ed in alphabetical order and moved
to rescind his amendment. Five coun-
cilmen seconded his motion.
Bavis in defending his communica-
ton, stated that all the methods
more had been dissected by the COM
mittee which investigated the hospital
He said that "some members of the
medical profession, both members and
non-members of the Wayne County
Medical society, were unfit for serv-
ice,' and that for this reason, the al
phabetical method of selection had
been discarded by the committee.
"This report is only recommends
ton to the board of trustees of the
hospital and they can do as they please
in regard to adopting it, stated one
member of the council why all this
fuss?"
at amounts to this" answered the
mayor: They'll accept our report and
carry out it's suggestions or they won't
get any more of our money. When they
come up here again asking for cash to
help out the institution, they will have
to show us that they have complied
with the terms of our report"
The original report was adopted,

is the well being of the hospital. and
not the gratifying of the aspirations
of any who desire to serve on the
board.
Improvement in present conditions
must be anticipated by the fitness of
those under whose control it shall be
placed, and the ignoring of ''qualifica-
ton in selecting must operate to the
disadvantage of the hospital.
| would respectfully, in this in
stance, call your attention to the dut-
les of the hospital committee" las
per the hospital rules governing the
administrator which says: Such
committee shall be authorized and en-
powered to determine and settle all
questions of detail, all controversies,
which may arise in the work and
management of the hospital, or as to
the efficiency or conduct of any nurse
or employee therein, and to make in all
such matters such decisions and orders
and give such directions as in the
judgment of the committee shall be
for the interest and welfare of the
hospital"
have given you this quotation that
your honorable body might fully real
ize how important bearing the ques-
ton of selection has on the future well
fare of the hospital.
Such men only should be chosen to
serve who can at least, measure up to
the dignity of the hospital and its
purposes, and to whom the nurses can
look upon with respect and confidence.
knowing such members are giving the
benefit of their hospital experience.
l trust your honorable body may
see, as your committee saw, how hope
less it would be to expect improve
ment under such a method of selec
ton and see fit to accept their report
in its original form.
Yours truly,
A. Bavis.

PUT TAYLOR
ON THE IAN

the Office for which he was appointed
That Milk Question.

Lately the price of milk was raised
by the dairymen but the council was
not yor of this advance. Neverthe-
less MT Taylor, a city employe, stood
with the miIkmen and said their ad-
vance was just
Il wonder if it would be asking too
much of our Mr.. Taylor if we should
demand that he occasionally attend to
the weights and measures of the vari-
Gus dealers of the city; that is, once
in while get on load of coal and
weigh it, or look after the short meas
lures of Oil wagons or investigate the
imeasurng of potatoes, apples, etc, at
the markets.
Now the Office of market master is
one of great importance especially as
1T includes the position of weighmas-
ter. | should like to recommend GER
tain things to council regarding the
office of city market master.
First: That Mr. Taylor make re-
port every month to council showing
fthe number of scales tested, cases of
short weight investigated, the result
and action taken in each case, and the
general condition over the city in this
lime. ! admit that Mr.. Taylor, in fact
all the cabinet officers make monthly
reports at the meeting of the mayors
cabinet. But what does Mr. Taylor say
lon these occasions? Very little" his
report runs: Not much doing, white
washed the market house. Sold several
new stalls Weights and measures in
70. X. condition"
Wants Good Reports.
1T seems to me we are entitled to
have a good report from the market
master, the same as We get from the
light plant and other officers.
Second. That for one month Mr.
Taylor keep an accurate account of
the number of hours per day he is on
duty as market or weightmaster and
report the same to council. Also how
many men he employs at the market
house to assist him and what money
is spent on the wages of these men.
1t seems no more than fair that he
should do this.
Third. That Mr.. Taylor conform to
the letter of the ordinance in regulat-
ing weights and measures and to his
oath in taking the Office of market
master II he already does not do So
Fourth. That Mayor Zimmerman
see to 1t in his capacity as highest
official of the city of Richmond that
Market master Taylor performs his
duty and his full duty and perform the
same all the time or demand his resig-
nation Immediately.
Fifth. That Mr.. Taylor come before
the meeting of council at the next ses-
sion and show that he has performed
his duty or explain why he has not to
the council.
This is not the first time we have
.had an occasion to complain of the
work of Mr.. Taylor And on all sides
.among the honest people who want a
good square government the complaint
IFS heard. If this is the kind of city
temploye the city administration is go
dng to furnish, it is time for the coun-
,cil to do something radical in the way
iof removing the said market master.
Much work could be done by the
market master If he was so inclined
and l believe there could be considera-
sble money saved for the city if the
market MASTER Mr.. Taylor, would do
IA little work himself.
Respectfully,
JESSE EVANS.

Piansr Use of Lime.

There are millions of tons of
lime rock in the South that could
be prepared for use aud laid down
at the nearest railroad station at
a cost of from 81 to So a ton, and
there are millions of acres of land
that needs this lime; but as yet
we have not realized she true use
of lime in our agriculture. The
application of lime to the average
soil for crops like cotton, corn,
oats and wheat is not likely to be
found highly profitable, and con-
sequent]y many have concluded
that lime is not needed. Lime
is needed, first, for the growing Of
more and larger crops of legumes,
and with more and larger crops OF
legumes, then larger crops of ev-
erything And then, lime will al.
80 be valuable because it helps to
set free and make available plant

"The Inventors guild, an association

1t is well known fact that mod

toward constancy of processes and

but the man who will vote for per
