ARMY CHARGES DISPUTED.
Criticism of Medical Personnel
Called Inaccurate.

Criticisms of the Army medical per-
sonnel in France, made by DR.. Roland
E. Skeel of Cleveland and DR.. F. H.
McMechan. editor of the Ohio State
Medical Journal, were declared by
Surgeon General Ireland today to
have been inaccurate. Gen. ireland
said the statements made by DR..
Skeel at a recent medical convention
in Cincinnati ARE refuted by the vo-
luminous medical history of the war
written by men prominent in medical
and surgical circles" DIR. Skeel had
charged that Regular Army doctors
were permitted to do major surgery
in the hospitals at the rear instead
Of working with divisions at the
front, and DR.. McMechan alleged
there was a grave shortage of ether
and that Army anesthetists were treat
ing epidemic diseases instead of be-
ing assigned to emergency surgical
cases

STREET CAR STOP
POINTS CHANGED
Commissions Order Affects
Chiefly Hating on Near,
Not Far Side of Street.

Changes in street car stopping
Utilities Commission today. Most of
the changes consist of transferring
the stops from the far to the near side
of the street. In a number Of the
cases the cars have heretofore been
required to slow down on the near
side as fire precaution and again on
the far side to discharge passengers.
By putting the passenger stop also
on the near side it is hoped time will
be saved.

Perhaps the most important change
was the transfer of the stop for west
bound U street cars from the west to
the east side of 14th street. The other
changes follow:
Westbound stop on the near side Of
33d and P streets.
Southbound stop on the near side of

The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1919-11-28

The state has been spending about
100000 year for health conditions.
Under the new Hughes act it is
proposed to spend $1,350,000. Where's
the money to come from? State Audi
tot. Donahey says:
without going into details, this
act provides for officers, employees,
nurses, inspectors, hospitals, clinics,
examinations, treatments, medical
services, etc., without limit. It is i'm
possible for me to conceive. under ex-
isting budgetary laws, how this act
can be put into operation without
complete destruction of the financial
arrangements and adjustments Of the
various taxing districts involved,
which at the present time are in a
most embarrassed and unsatisfactory
condition"
Our system of legislation is very
lame. We send men to Columbus to
make the laws who have had no
training; set of scheming faddists
get their fingers through their but
ton-holes and tickle and cajole them
luCO ally tHlllS cIlu every CLluS tudt
will bring grist to the schemer's mill
and the people must pay the
freight.
This new health scheme may be in
good thing; we know it will for the
lazy loafers who want a State job
where they can lie in bed till noon and
then get out and work a couple of
hours and call it day. The men
who planned the expenditure know
where they are to get theirs; you
can wager two to one on that; but
who's to pay, and where is the money
to come from with which to do it?
There's large number of good
things in this world that we all can't
get-a few get them. But passing a
law don't give them to one. Every
time a million dollars is appropriated
it becomes necessary to collect it
first, or go in debt for it. With an
empty treasury now, where's the
money coming from? That's the ques-
ton the State Auditor is asking now.
The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1919-11-28
WHERE'S THE MONEY
FOR TIP. HEALTH BOARDS?
Legislators Pass Laws But Fail to
Tell Auditor Where to Get
Funds.

Everyone who reads knows that the
State and cities over the State are
more or less financially embarrassed.
Especially is this the case in the
cities. There is not enough money for
streets and roads, police and schools,
and the hundred and one other items
that cannot be classed in large to-
tails. But every treasury is empty,
bonds have been piled upon issues of
bonds, tax payments have been an
ticipated and the bills are being held
back until the taxes are available,
and in few instances can one find a
treasury with money not as yet ex-
pended. In other words, the public
treasures are bankrupt from one
end of the state to the other.
