gain in many ways by having It's City
hospital removed from its present
site, two of the reasons being tina.
the removal would place the hospital
closer to the center of the city and
all necessary utilities. while 1t would
at the same time receive all the ad-
vantages of the attention and attend
ance OF the best physicians in tho
city, the nurses and the internes. and

In Bad Condition.
lie stated that the service at the
City home Is good and the equipment
Is good, but the building is of an
Client mold and in bad physical con-
dition in many places. BY being re-
moved to a more convenient point, he
said, the patients could be treated
more quickly and more carefully. And
it's proposed temporary location would
not only be of greater sc rvtee to the
city. but the Medical college as we'll.
Mr.. Hirschherg In his statement said
ne was not in the service of the city
at $4,000 a year to look after the inter
ests of individuals. nor any body of
doctors, but was there to serve the
city as a whole, and il the city hos
pital were answering all the purposes
for which 1t is designed, he could see
no reason for removal
Except" said Mr.. Hirschberg that
IL the city feels that 1t can build new
hospital al this time, and that hospital
Is to be erected on the present site.
then the hospital should be removed
pending the erection of the new one.
But If the city cannot build one at this
time, and the present one is satisfac-
tory. there should be no removal, as
Ii is shown by the comparative state
ments that the removal will necessitate
the additional expenditure of $4,000
IL year"
City Not Able.
Mt Radcliffe advised the committee
to look carefully into the proposition,
He thought the city now unable to
spend $4,000 additional in maintaining
the Virginia and Old Dominion hos
pitfalls while the present City home
Is in good condition and might be
made more so by small appropriation.
He did not wish to oppose any move
tending to improve the hospital ser
vice, but looked at the proposition from
the financial standpoint.
Mr.. Pollard also advised precaution-
airy measures, and suggested that be-
fore final action were taken by the
general committee every loophole be
closed by which the city might be
forced to hold the two hospitals after
it got ready to build new structure.
Mr.. Mitchell said the words coming
from Dr. Johnston were those of man
who knew whereof he spoke. and he
seconded the suggestion made by Mr..
Pollock, which was embodied into a
resolution.
DR.. Mitchell spoke from an advisory
standpoint and endorsed what DR..
Johnston had said, that the city and
the college both would receive vast
benefit from the change.
The resolution will now go to the
utilities committee and from that body
to council. 1t will then reach the
finance committee. and finally go to
the administrative board.
