merly occupied by Or. J. II. Cannon,
and recently purchased by the city.
will be opened as soon as necessary
repair and remodeling work can be
finished.
It is planned to treat scarlet fever,
diphtheria, smallpox and measles
patients at this hospital. The present
isolation hospital at the county
farm is used only for the treatment
of smallpox cases.
There is an urgent need for such
a hospital, according to DR.. c. :.
Bosenbury, city health officer. He
says that the city must have a place
to handle such cases as recently
were discovered in the Y. NJ. c. A,
when four or five men were attack
ed with scarlet fever at the same
time. The men were quarantined in
one corner of the building and were
an unnecessary expense and incon-
venienCe TO the association. With
an isolation hospital the patients
could have been moved there and
would have received excellent care.
DR.. Bosenbury and physicians are
inclined 20 laugh at fears Of prop
erty owners and residents Of the
neighbOrhood who are said TO be
opposed to the movement on the
ground that its Adjustment would
be a menace to the public and an
eyesore to the people.
People do not move out because
the family next door has scarlet
fever" says DR.. Bosenbury. land
there will be no more danger if the
hospital Is esta blished than there
is now when private residences are
quarantined" other physicians
hold the same opinion"
The control of the affair is entirely
in the hands Of the board Of public
works, which has charge Of all pub
lie buildings and if they see fiji to
favor the recommendatiOns Of the
health board, the hospital will be
esta blished. It viii still retain its
present appearance. the only
changes being contemplated being in
