It is unuuestionable, however, that the larger number of the cases of com municable diseases in this city is due to non observance of the law.

The health board reported tho establishment of the in- stitution with an initial appropriation of 2,60D and asked that the depart ment bo authorized to complete its stan Of nurses and assistants. the saia- ries to become a part of the depart ment payroll: also that bills properly audited be honored by tho finance committee of tho council upon their presentation.
 Dr. Harris submitted tho following report on the proposed hospitai:
 Since September I, 1920. 1i5 cases of diphtheria and 3s of scarlet fever have been reported and evidence of the existence of many other milder cases has been rccefved; some Of whom havo been found during search for carriers and examination of those tncontact with known cases--contacts. so-callod, both in and out of schools.

Two or these women have asked and arc getting city aid.
 Tn one school, all tho children in several of tho lower grades were test cd for tho presence of tho germs and ig0 cultures taken. Twenty-two were found to be diphtheria positive. One boy was Just coming down with the discaso and the physician called was nble to treat 1t immediately and fore stall any serious consequences.
 There have been three deaths which might have been avoided if the cases had been taken to q hospital whore facilities existed for better care and treatment. It Is hard even for those In good circumstances to try to send their sick to Hartford Isolation Hospital. and many cases who would recover much more quickly in hos nitais arc kept nt home rather than risk the long trip and the separation.

will very likely be disastrous ono diphtheria carriers arc becoming very numerous and every case multiplies them in its contact. A varying propor- ton of these carriers become perma- nent carriers and will give this city an unenviable reputation and health record.
 The cost of installing the hospital will he approximately: Cleaning, s100: heating plant and plumbing, $325; repairing and extension electric light system, $50; beds and bedding, s1,oo0; bed linen, $500; towels, table linen, etc. $50; dishes. s75; kitchen equipment, s75: tables, shelves, screens. etc, s100; sterilizIng room, $50; repairing boiler. etc. $40; ward and nurses equipment, $500; general equipment. $50; incidentsls, S250; to- tai. $3,165. Of this there has been spent, on purchases: Desk, $20; clock. *5: soap, s5.61; tools, s51.sS: dishes and dressers, s155: dishes. s35.91: towels, etc. s29.59: beds, s404.25: mattresses, s296.90; electric light work. $70: steam and plumbing repair. s2s0.14; aluminium, flat silver etc, s99.95; labor to December II, s4o5; gowns. material and work, s4a: sheets. s190; pillow cases, SEQ; blank cts. wool, ss5; blankets. cotton. $50; table linen. $12.25; total. $1.9sS.4s.

 There will be some return in fees from patients, how much is beyond my ability to prophecy; but it is my belief that this hospital will be run on eighteen cents per capita per year cost. It is requested that the city council approve this action taken and authorize expenditure of such funds as are necessary for installation running and for payment of staff and that the health board be authorized to place on its payroll the staff as list ed above. The board of health has paid out the last fiscal year S1,S5s.T9 to other hospitals. We expect a large part of this will gradually be taken up by this hospital, as we'll as the cases who will go to a hospital in our own city being near home, who would not go away" ..

THE cHURcH's INFLUENCE

The following from an exchange ex-
presses the view of many who are not
members OF any church, as well rs
many who are:
In these days we hear criticism of
the church. The charge is made that
1t is not as effective as 1t should be,
that its usefulness has been crippled,
and the experience of recent years
may have intensified the discussion.
but 1t can truthfully be said that the
church in its zeal and simplicity has
been tremendous force for good in
the life OF nearly every individual and
much more than they appreciate. No
one can afford to be Indifferent to the
church or underestimate its power. In
any ordinary American community,
churches are on every side. and even
those who do not belong must recog-
nize that In a real sense they have
been reared under the influence of the
