HOSPITAL DIscIIssEn

HOSPITAL DISCUSSED.
Under the head of resolutions. AL
defman Renshaw announced that he
nad a resolution which he wished to
introduce, but that before doing so he
wished to ask that some parties who
were present to address the council on
the subject to which his resolution re-
terred. namely, the proposed charity
hospital, be granted the privilege of
the Hoor. The request was granted
and Alderman Renshaw informally
read his resolution in order that the
parties who were to appear before the
council might be informed of its con-
tents
The resolution offered by DR.. Rem
shaw provides that an ordinance be
adopted providing for an election to be
held on the 9Th of November, at which
time the people would be allowed to
vote on the question of establishing a
charlty hospital and issuing bonds for
$4,000 for that purpose.
DR.. HUTCHINSON TALKS.
DR.. Clarence E. Hutchinson, a mem
Der OF the committe appointed by the
mayor to confer with the council, ad-
dressed the body.
He said that the committee had
never intended establishing a munich
pal hospital and did not intend asking
the city to issue bonds for that pur-
pose. The idea, he said, was to estab-
ltsh a general hospital and that all the
committee wanted the council to do
was to slightly increase the present an
nual appropriation for charity patients
He said he thought those interested in
the present hospital, the Pensacola
Sanitarium, and the city and county
might form a mutual corporation ana
establish an institution, not for profit
and that the private patients handled
" nT1l ri ~
the expenses of the charity patients
The most that could be expected of
the council, he said, was an appro-
priation.
SAYS HOSPITAL NOT NEEDED.
DR.. Renshaw, in supporting his reso
luton said that for a number of years
he had heard talk Of a charity hospital
in Pensacola, but that he did not con-
slider that at this time the city needed
a charity hospital. He said the city IS
now spending 81, 400 per year for the
treatment of charity patients and that
the city physician, in answer to a ques-
ton, had informed him that no city
patients were suffering for hospital at
tention.
His reason for offering the resolu-
ton, said Alderman Renshaw, was TO
let the people decide in November
"a neither or not they wanted an insti-
tuition of this kind.
After some discussion, on motion OF
Alderman Semmes, the whole matter,
including the request of the committee
and the resolution of Alderman Rem
shaw, was referred to a special com
m!ttee to investigate and report back
at the next meeting of the council.
THE SALOON ORDINANCE.
When Chairman Bear of the general
ordinance committee reported on pro-
posed ordinance No. IS, which provides
that no saloon or billiard or pool room
shall be established within 500 feet of
any depot church or school, he stated
that he had two reports, each signed
by two members of the committee, the

ment at the last meeting that he would

street at the intersection of Gadsden,

After being read the ordinance was
referred to the franchise committee.
DELEGATES APPOINTED.

cation from Secretary General S. NJ.

dinance being signed by M. L. Bear
and Thos. Kent, while report recon-
mending that the ordinance be not
adopted was signed by F. G. Renshaw
and o. ]. Semmes.
Alderman Semmes was granted the
privilege of explaining his vote and
said that his reason for opposing the
Ltssage of this ordinance was not that
he was opposed to prohibiting the
sale of liquor within five hundred feet
of the new depot (Which was said to
be the purpose and intent of the pro-
posed ordinance) but that he did not
think the council was in position to sit
in judgment and say where liquor
should be sold and pool played in the
future. The alderman said that he did
pot wish to go on record as favoring
any such general ordinance, although
he did wish to go on record as faVoring
tie depot now being constructed by
the l.. & N.
Later, when the ordinance was
brought up on second reading. after a
motion to adopt the report OF the mem
bers of the committee favoring the
passage of the ordinance had been
adopted, Alderman Semmes gave no
tice that at the next meeting he would
offer an amendment to the ordinance
Wright and Alcaniz streets and making
the ordinance applicable only to this
place.
RENSHAW ALSO TALKS.
Alderman Renshaw also explained
his position, saying that the adoption
Of such an ordinance was usurping the
rights Of the people and that 1t meant
that twelve men were setting aside the
verdict of the people as expressed in
the elections already held, when GER
tain precincts were voted dry and
others wet. Such a procedure, he said
was neither just nor lawful, and, al
though he had been urged by men
whose opinions he respected to support
the ordinance, he would not do so. lie
said, however, he was heartily in ia
vor of the part of the ordinance re-
lating to the schools and churches.
But, why should we set a halo
around a depot?" asked the Alderman,
When a passenger comes into q dep 0t

to to go across the street and take a

posed ordinance would simply be de-

would favor no such action. II wish
