HOSPITAL MERGER ASKED
Probe Board Finds City Institu-

Because Of "deplorable lack OF CO.
operation between these branches Of the
city government" the hospital investiga-
ton committee recommended to the
Board OF Estimate yesterday the CONSOLE
dation Of the departments OF Charities,
Bellevue and allied hospitals, the ambu-
lance service board, the board Of inebriety
and hospital administration bureau. Such
a merger would require an amendment to
the charter.
1t is suggested that there should be a
superintendent, to have full admnistra-
tive control of all the hospitals, and paid
medical and surgical chiefs in each divi-
sion OF these institutions.

after the most profitable convention
since its organization. The enthusiasm
shown by the mayors for municipal! work
and the suggestion Of John Iurroy
Mitchell. OF New York, that national
conference of mayors be called next year
at the Panama-PaciGc Exposition result
ed in the appointment OF a committee
headed by the New York Mayor for such

conference went on record as favorinS

Charles Downing Lay, formerly the
landscape architect OF New York City,
predicted at the afternoon session that
parks in cities would become more nu-
merous and more important.
The day when the boy or the man can
play ball on the vacant lot or on his
own place is rapidly passing" said Mr.
Lay. Few of us have incomes sufficient
TO Join country clubs. The community.
therefore, must provide the facilities
which the individual can no longer OBJ
tain" The ideal park scheme for a city
calls for an acre OF park 10 every 66.6
per cent Of population he said Thus the

large rural park. 400 acres; ten small
parks. 80 acres; fifty Fairgrounds, 100
acres: gardens and squares, 20 acres.

be in parks Possibly that is low
estimate but it is seldom attained to-
day"
