AUTHORIZE TEMPORARY MoRGUE.
The Levy Court today, after hearing
| Charles H. Ten Weeges and Edmund
| Mitchell, Jr., members of the Public
Building Commission, and following a
| long discussion by members OF the court,
authorized the coroner's committee to rent
| building to be used temporarily as a
| morgue for New Castle county.
Mr.. Ten Wecges said the rooms IN tho
Public Building assigned TO the coroner
! are insufficient In size and not properly
equipped for the handling of corpses of
| persons diving of influenza. The rooms
were never intended for a morgue; they
were intended for an office and an autopsy
| room Nine corpseS were kept IN the
rooms last Saturday night. 1t was unjust
to official occupants of the building tina
! such conditions were permitted to exist.
| Mr.. Ten Weeges asked the court 10 pro-
vide a morgue, saying he and ms col
| leagues would not know what to do should
| the bringing of CorpseS to the Pubic
Building continue.
| Mr.. Mitchell indorsed MIR Ten Wesges'
| remarks and said the Public Building is
not a suitable place for a morgue
| Mr.. Elliott approved the statements OF
Messrs Ten Wceges and Mitchell.
Mr. Fouracrc suggested renting build
| ing for morguc. saying 10 erect one would
| be more extensive.
| Mr.. Purks said the law prescribing
| the dutucS of the coroner ls incomplete.
| He did not think what is strictly coroner $
| work Is much greater now than IN normal
I times: much of t. work performed by
| the coroner is not his work. The deputy
coroner usually is an undertal ger, snd
| because of the dcputy's professional
| duties no ono frequently Is IN the coroner s
| office. Further criticising the conduct
! of the coroner's office, Mr.. PurkS SAID
| the Jury work Is often gwen 70 broken
| down politicians He stated Jurles some
| times do not view cOrpses "over which
thev hold lnquests. He thought a
| Justice of the peace could perform the
| coroncrs duties as we'll rs if not better
! than the coroner, tie SAID the court
| should provide q morguc.
| MIR. Groves suggested that a morRIc
| 10 erected on the county farm, but i
was resolved to rent building.
