SUPT. BARTON MAKES
REPORT ON CITY HOSPITAL

To the Board 0! City Commissioners
Since taking charge of the Morrell
Memorial Hospital, Aug 1st 1918,
there have been treated in the hospi-
tai 2S6 surgical cases up to April 1st,
1920, with a mortality of only one
and eight tenth per cent. This is ex-
Guiding two cases of railroad acci-
dents where the patients died in an
hour or two after coming into the
hospital The public is not supposed
to know whether this is a high or low
rate Of mortality. In order that they
may form some idea of it | am going
to compare it with a hospital that
You all know something of and that Is
the Mayo hospital of Rochester, Minn
which is recognized as one of the best
ranaged and nest equipped hospitals
in the world ] happen to have their
report for the year 1918 before me
Their mortality on surgical cases for
that year was one and seven-t tenths
ler cent, one-Ienth of one per cent
lower than olls. ! want to explain
that this comparison is hardly fair
one to us as the Mayo hospital takes
only selected cases while our hospital
is compelled to take cases OF all
kinds that come to the hospital BY
taking cases that the chances for re-
covery is most favorable, they can
keep down their rate of mortality,
but with all this we are only one
tenth of one per cent behind them
We have at times been hampered for
help and have lacked graduate nurs
es, but | have always had nurses who
were most faithful in their service to
the hospital and to me and were will
ing to work day and night for the
welfare of the patients with my coun.
Gil and advice. The kind expressions
Of gratitude from patrons and their
friends to the nurses and me has been
very pleasing. That there has been

people are human, but In many in

SEVERAL HURT IN
AUTO ACCIDENT
YESTERDAY

Yesterday afternoon about $50 an
automobile accident occurred on
North Massachusetts avenue, when a
car, driven by l.. w. Bloom, struck
and overturned II. B. Carter's en-
closed car, with the result that all of
the occupants were very painfully
bruised and cut. Those in the car at
the time Of the accident were Leonard
Carter. who was painfully cut about
the arms; Mrs. Carter, who was cut
above the eye: Mrs. G.. j. Tolson,
who has cuts about the arms and
chest, and the latter's two-year-old
son, Fred, who was severely cut on
the arm, several stitches being neces-'
sary to sew up the wound. The party
were pinned in the car, and 1t was
necessary to take them out through
one of the windows Of the machine.
They were taken to their homes and
a physician gave surgical attention to
their injuries.
Mrs. Carter states that the ap-
preaching car shot out into the stree.
from the side of the stable, at a rate
OF about 80 miles an hour, the driver
not apparently looking where he was
going, and, though the Carter ma
chine was run up on the curb, it was
too late to prevent the crash. Mrs.
/ Carter states that the party who
struck them never came near the ma
chine to see what damage had been
done, how badly the occupants were
injured nor has there been any tele-
phone inquiries. She estimates the
damage to her machine at $3.50.
