In 1891 the church poor funds were augmented by an allow ance from the public treasury, and in the same year mention is first made of the Overseerss of the Poor. s@ "In March 1714, it was first pro- posed to build a poorhouse, but not until 1734 was final action to this end taken. It was then decided to erect a two-story stone building on the site of the present City Hall. It was fin- ished in 1736. On the Broadway side of this building on the upper floor, a room about 25x23 feet was appropriat- room, containing six beds, that Belle yue Hospital grew.
 f1O,OOO Lottery for Hospital.
 "By 1794.the poorhouse of 1736 had become inadequate, and application was made to the Legislature for per- mission to raise f10,000 by a public lottery. The new building, finished in 1796, stood on the north side of Chambers Street, directly in the rear of the old one.
 s"Almost every year, from 1794 to 1895, saw an epidemic of yellow fe- yer. and the great distress so produced rapidly increased the number of the poor. During the mayoralty of De Witt Clinton (1S0S-1S10) a site for a new almshouse and penitentiary was sought. The plot finally selected was a part of the Kips Bay farm, about six acres, running approximately from the East River along the line of the apf <1 !, ond Avenue, then southerly to a point between 26th and 27th streets and along the line of the Belle Vue Place to the East River.
 'The Belle Vue Place contained about five acres. It had been acquired by the city in 1794 for the isolation of yellow fever patients. The building standing on this plot was the first to be called Bellevue Hospital The Belle vue plot cost f1.SO0 (about s9,SOO) and the six-acre plot to the north $22,494,50. In, June,y 1914, an addi- tiona1 piece, running fifty feet on the East River and 235 feet northwesterly toward Second Avenue and 18th St., was purchased for $3,000.
 Segregation of Prisoners and Sick,
 "The new almshouse was first occu- pied in April, 1916. It contained two hospital pavilions. The total cost of the plant complete, as reported to the Common Council Board on February 9. 1918, was $421, 1,109.16. Additional ground purchased in this year at cost of $1,0Q0 rounded out the prop erty so that it extended between the East River and Second Avenue from 28th Street to 24th Street,

Tn 1887 the smallpox patients were ta- Ken to a small wooden building erect ed on one end of this island; in 1888 the female prisoners were removed to the Tombs; and, in 1889, the luna- tics were removed to the new asylum on Blackwell's Island. It was not until 1848 that Bellevue was relieved of the almshouse department. "In 1845 the Bellevue plot was re- duced from seventeen to five acres by the sale of all that portion of. the ground between Second and First Av- enues and 18th and 18th Streets, and the plot bordering the river from 26th to 23rd Streets \a ''In 1S49 the newly created board of governors of the almshouse removed the control of the hospital from res ident physician to the annual report of this hospital.

 Instruction And Ambulances.
 
 public instruction in this hospital is found in 1894, and although Bellevue with it's many patients, offered broad opportunity for. clinical instruction, it was not until 1849 that the first public clinic was held, and not until 1861 that the Bellevue Hospital Medical College was incorporated.
 ITO Bellevue belongs also the hon. or of first establishing, in 1869, an ambulance service in cities. The or (ganizer, Dr. Edward B. Dalton who had had extensive hospital experience in the Civil War, based the new ann bulance service upon his military ex- perience, and it was to the complete ness of the preliminary plans that the new system owed much of it's success.

 In 1902 control of Bellevue, Ford ham, Harlem, Gouverneur and the Emergency Hospitals, the latter in East 18th Street, was taken from the Department of Public Charities and vested in a Board of Trustees of Bel levue and Allied Hospitals" The cen tury-old almshouse was still in use as hospital. A building programme calling for the expenditure of about $S,OO0,000, of which S5,00O,0OO has been expended, has been instituted by the board. Fordham Hospital was established in 1882. and Gouverneur and Harlem Hospitals in 1887. In cluding Neponsit Beach Hospital (site furnished by the city and building by the New York Association for Improv- ing the Condition of the Poor), the several hospitals afford a bed capacity of 2,139 and in 1915 they afforded 774,476 days Of hospital treatment, an increase of 101 per cent. in ten years.

Public Lotteries Helped to Maintain It In Its Early Days-Overlooke Belle Vue Place, Hence Its Name.

New York, Oct. 13.-Bellevue, is probably the oldest hospital in the United States. Its history runs back t180 years, and it was 100 years ago this year that two hospital pavilions were opened in the New York city ialmshouse, which had been erected on the site of the present hospital. Pre- iviously there had been a yellow-fever isolation hospital, and this pest house fhad been so termed from the preten- jtiously named Belle Vue Place." five acres, overlooking the East River. Robert B. Mcintyre, supervising sta- itistician and examiner of the Finance Department, and unofficial historian of the. city, is the authority who declares iBeI1evue is probably the oldest hospi- Ital in the United States. In one of lhis veracious chronicles of various tcity departments, which get wide circula- ttion in, the City Record. MT. McIn- tyre has sketched how first the church poor funds were allotted to the sick and .the poor, and then public funds, tamplified by a lottery, supplemented the church allotments.
 These historical reviews of the va rious city departmentS are made as bases for the study of the future de- I velopment and future needs of the de- { partmerlts," said MT. Mcintyre in ex- planation of the several narratives of which he is the compiler. "It is. of course, a time-worn proverb to speak of the past as the best guide to the 1 future. Each historical review has included a financial review and re- port on present day finances. There will be future reports, which will con- cerns themselves only with current f. nances and will have as bases the his- torical reviews"
 Homeless Housed in Broad Street. I "In the early days of the city, the poor were provided for by the church from voluntary contributions, con- cluded MT. Mcintyre. These contri- buttons were dispensed of by officers of the church, the poor being for the most part assisted in their own homes. The homeless were housed for a long time in a building on the west side of Broad street, just~> north of Beaver 1 street. The first hospital appears to have been established in 1858. The l population of the town was then about k1DO0 persons.
