cities to hold meetings there.
Galveston. Dallas, San Antonio, FL

willingness to entertain delegates Of
such a commission. II was even sug-
gested that a commission couia meet on
the neutral soil OF Cuba.
1t is contended here in some quarters
that such a commission would be vir-
tually useless in view of the fact that
the demands of the United States re-
garding recognition are tantap.ount to a
change in the Mexican constitution,
which no international delegation could
accomplish.
Although no official expression has
even been given out, persons close to
President Obregon assert the Mex. ii; n
Chief Executive would have no objec-
tions to naming a commission IL over

Unprejudiced observers OF the situa-
tion here assert that the question OF
recognition now is In a tighter deadlock
than at any time during the last year.

eral hospital early in the spring.
nave shown the directors of that
institution that its maintenance is a
very expensive proposition, and that
the yearly net loss reaches the
amazing amount of approximately
$4,000. s
These facts and figures were laid
before the freeholders by Robert
johnson of the hospitals board of
managers yesterday afternoon, with
the request that the freeholders
consider tn eadvisability OF increas-
ing their contributions to all the
hospitals Of the county when MAX
ing up the budget for 1928.
An appropriation of $500 was
made by the county this year to as
sist the local hospital in defraying
the expenses of caring for INDECENT
county patients in the wards
though the cost to the hospital for
this service alone will reach about
double that amount on the basis
of the monthly cost records which
have been closely observed since
May /.
1.-The progression of science de-
mands additional equipment which
is purchased at a corresponding in
crease in expenditures" declared Mr..
Johnson, land the 100 per cent in
crease in the cost of caring for pa
tients during the last five years is
becoming a matter that gives us no
little concern
The medical men make demands
on the managers for increased faciii-
ties from time to time and if u in
stitutions are to be maintained in
an efficient manner for the welfare
of the poorer people of the county,
our financial problems must be SER
iously considered"
Mr.. Johnson in response to a
query from the freeholders as to
the amount the local hospital would
like to have donated by the county
next year, said:
Anything you can do to relieve
the burden will be appreciated,
don't want to appear selfish in the
matter and don't ask an increase es-
pecially for ourselves, but for every
hospital in the county as WELL"
During the past year this county
has contributed $4,000 towards the
cost of running the various hospi-
tails, though the amount can be in
creased at the time the budget Is
made up, according to Solicitor
Frederick F. Richardson, providing
the allotment is made on a pro rata
basis of patient days for the preced-
ing year. Union county apportion-
ed $500 for its hospitals for 1922
while Mercer contributed $4,000
for that purpose.
The matter was left in the hands
of the budget committee for COL
sideration when making the appro-
priations for 1928.
