DENIES HOSPITAL
Is "WINTER RESORT"

Claiming that men sent to the New
Castle County Hospital al Farnhurst
VINO formerly resided in Kent and Sus-
sex Counties. are refusing TO do snv
work at the hospital. but lust idled
away their time. James w. Foster SUI
perintendent Of the institution TODAY
denied that he said the hospital was
being used as a ''winter resort"
Mr.. Foster, in discussing the mai
ter censured no one, but said that
some Of the trustees OF the poor have
been imposed upon. Among those who
are being cared for at the county hos
pital, he added, were former residents
OF Kent and Sussex county, among them
being man and his wife from Sussex
county, the man having been at one
time state official. The wife OF this
man, he added said she owned a farm
near Seaford.
When asked. about this case, Mr.. Fos-
ter stated "The man is sick, but the
wife is we'll able TO work" The only
reason he had heard for their commit
ment was that one OF their neigh
bors, had complained that this former
official and his wife "had been drink
ing"
During the past year, the trustees
OF the poor were forced to call upon
Levy Court for a substantial sum Of
money as they had exceeded their an
nual allowance, I'm maintaining the
county. hospital. The request was
granted.
In view Of the fact that the almshouse ,
IS at this time maintaining sixty more
than IL was at this time one
year ago, IL is more than likely that
another request for help from the Levy |
Court may soon be heard from the
rustees of the poor.
