TO REDUCE PAINTERS
AT CITY HOSPITAL.
Mr. Shank said that he had a confer
enee with his appointees for members OF
the board Of public health last evening
and told them he was eaving the opera
ton OF the city hospital entirely In their
hands.
81 don't want to have to bother with
that, and I trust my board TO do it." he
said. However, there's one thing I'm
going to stop out there. They tell me
that st. Vincent's Hospital hires one
painter and at the city hospital they've
got eight painters and one foreman. Why
should they have nine times as many
painters at the city hospltal?"
In Mr.. Shanks morning mail were ap-
proximately twenty-five letters from peO-
pie who approve Of his stand upon the
plaza, he said.
Il also have received ten or more let
tiers approving my plan TO get rid Of
Lucius B. Swift, chairman Of the board
Of sanitary commissioners" he said. zone
fellow wrote me that he thought we ought
to ship old Swift over to England and let
him be the Kings sanitary commits
sioner."
cit was all right for the job-seekers
to follow me to the Union Station"
Shank said, but say, the bird who
trails me clear to Hot Springs need not
expect a job. I'm going down there
for a rest and I won't see anybody on
anything. I'm going down there for
rest. I tell you So they'd better keep
away from me-"
