ter
Representative of All Souls Hos
pital appeared before the board in an
effort to have an appropriation made
by the county to pay FOR the care OF
4 INDECENT patients.
Robert d. Foote, of the Board Of
Directors of that institution, stated
that the hospital authorities cannot
turn away the sick who are destitute
] and neither can sufficient money be
raised for those cases.
He read petition by which a re-
quest was made that the county pay
81 per day to the hospital for the care
of each INDECENT patient at the hos
pital, provided that in no one year
! shall the amount for such exceed
S5 900.
, In Union. Passaic and Middlesex
:, Counties such appropriations are be-
: ing made, and Mr. Foote said that BY
5 doing the same this county would not
: be establishing a precedent.
Edward Kelly. OF Dover. said: cas-
a taxpaver | think in making this ap-.
propriation YOU are assuming a bur-.
den as equal as any great Obligation.
r on the county such as the mainte-
nance of an almshouse and the con.
+ struction of a tuberculosis hospital
a If a person ailing who knocks at the
q hosnital door for admfttance a4d
( can't pay. is not let in, it may mean
i death or prolonged illness. Some
n thing has got to be done. The pa
Z, tients have outgrown the givings of
l. the charitably inclined people. For
n humanitys sake, make the appropria-
e tion."
S Very Rev. Dean George r. Brown,
e rector of the Church of the Assume
5 ton, took the floor He said: Il can
y only supplement the words of Mr..
# Foote and Mr.. Kelly This appeal has
= come in delayed fashion. The idea
n WAS broaehed year ago but the mas
/ ter was not taken before the Free
holders. We found deficit of $1,000
y in the hospital account. There is an
! increase in the cost of living, and II
: the poor patients who have to be
:: given free treatment
Thinking that il such an appropriar
: tion Is made, Memorial Hospital
: should also be reimbursed for its in
dlgent patients, Charlton A. Reed
asked that in making the appropria'
tion the other hospital be included
with All Souls.
