HOSPITAL
IS FAVORABLE
Sentiment Seems in Favor of
Making Richmond Memo
rial Open to All Physicians
Special Correspondent.

/ Special Correspondent.
TOTTENvILLE, Feb. 10-Strong
sentiment seems to be In favor of
having the Richmond Memorial
Hospital an open hospital following
the matter being brought up at the
first meeting of the new board of
trustees held at the hospital a week
ago. The matter was brought up at
the meeting by Miss Inez Corcel-
ious, a member of the board of
trustees. A general discussion took
place at that time but no action was
taken, it having been laid yer I'M
til the next meeting. The opinion
seemed to be at that time by the
majority present that an open hos
pital would be the right thing to al
low other reputable physicians
hospital staff to attend a patient in
the wards, following an operation
should the patient so desire.
ALI of the physicians in Totem
ville and some OF those outside are
said to be strongly in favor of the
movement and there Is no doubt
that the plan as brought up by Miss
Corcelious will be put through at
the next meeting OF the hospital
board CT trustees. As the matter
now stands at the hospital accord
ing to the rules of the institution, a
patient in p wari can only be at
tended by the surgeon or the house
physician at the place. The open
hospital would change all of this
and ALLOW other physicians to enter
its doors. Richmond Memorial
Hospital which opened its doors a
year ago has a most successful
career during that time. The month
of January the sum of $1,000 taken
In was over and above the running
expenses for that time.

merce met last night and organized

officers were elected without oppo-
sition;
President, d. c. Chase; vice presi-
cent, D.. w. Reed: treasurer. r. C.
Stephenson; secretary, William A.
Mills.
The application of Theodore
Spawn as a member was received
and accepted.
The invitation Of the Chamber OF
Commerce of the United States to
attend the annual meeting of that
organization to be held in Atlantic
City on April 81. 2S and 20, was re-
ceived and Mr.. Reed and Mr.. Mills
were appointed as delegates from
this city.
Brunswick Board of Trade to at
tend their dinner in New Bruns-
wick Saturday was received and a
number signified their intention of
attending.
The secretary reported having at
tended the public hearing of the
Senate bill No. "a, favoring state
police and reported that the senti-
ment was in favor of this bill The
local chamber went on record as be-
ing in favor of the bill also bill
number 81. favoring open specih-
cations for road work.
Some time was spent in discuss
ing the annexation program after
which adjournment followed.
Mr.. Spawn of the New York Tel
ephone Company, appeared before
the directors or the request of the
vice president, Reed. Some time
ago the South Amboy Chamber of
Commerce made application for the
city in order to have the m
battery system OF telephone INSTALL
ed. The board felt that this would
be a factor in the development of
the city and the Anticipated system
now in use should be abandoned.
Mr.. Spawn last night explained
that the installation could not be
made at this time owing to the lack
of equipment. He pointed out that
during the war it was impossible to
do any construction work and due
TO this fact the company was far
behind in giving the service that
they desire. Mr.. Reed stated that
he realized the position of the tel
ephone company. but it was the de-
sire of the South Amboy Chamber
of Commerce to have its application
on file, so that when conditions
would Warrant the installation of
the new system we would be first in
line.
Mr.. Spawn stated that they were
getting away from the central sys-
tenn and substituting the dial sys-
tenn. When asked what South Am
boys chances were in getting this
system he replied good"
