Of the most widely known hospital
experts OF the country. who made a
preliminary survey of the hospital
requirements of Portland and vici-
nifty. [.
Those familiar with conditions
have realized for some time that ex-
listing hospitals In Portland are not
adequate to care for all the hospital
needs of the city and surrounding
communities" says the committee
In its report. There is no hospital
in Portland where contagious dis
eases can be properly segregated and
treated. Conditions are 80 unsatis-
factory at the city farm and the
need 80 great that the overseers of
the poor have recommended that the
city build new city hospital for the
care of contagious diseases. Nor is
there any properly equipped mater
nifty hospital to care for the persons
been given from time to time to the
problem of supplying these needs,
but for various reasons II did not
seem wise to proceed.
along with the realization of
such need for more complete hospi-
tai facilities there has been a grow
ing conviction in the public mind as
well as among physicians and those
intimately connected with hospital
work that closer relationship be-
tween the Children's hospital, the
Maine Ear and Eye Infirmary and
the Maine hospital would make for
increased efficiency and more econo-
mical operation in proportion to the
services rendered. and would be in
line with modern hospital develop
ment."
The recommendations OF DIR.
Washburn include the following
features:
That the three hospitals men,
toned be combined to make a new
general hospital and that the new
hospital be located upon the site OF
the Maine General hospital.
That Il new board of trustees be
formed of six members, two to be
selected by the trustees of each of
the three hospitals.
That the hospital be given a new
name-The Portland General hospi-
tai.
That the professional staffs of the
three hospitals unite to form the
staff OF the new hospital.
That q director be chosen who is
familiar with modern hospital or
ganiZation. construction and man.
agement and that he be given such
assistance as he needs.
That the necessary funds be rails
cd to proceed upon the necessary re-
construction and undermining of the
building of the Maine General hos
pital for the new hospital organiza
ton and the construction of new
buildings in a general way as out
lined in the report.
That the plants of the Maine Eye
and Ear Infirmary and the Chill
dren's hospital be sold.
The new constructions proposed
includes u private ward building. 4
children's and women's building. /;
contagious hospital Of 40 beds, 8
nurses home addition. Il children
convalescent home. and the remod
cling of the central part of the en-
listing buildings to provide 81 beds
for patients with diseases of the eye
and ear.

bling house in New England, have
recently placed an order, through

on the Essex car. They have found
it most economical, and Mr.. j. f.

reports that due to the easy riding
qualities of the Essex his men are
able to cover more territory with
less fatigue than any car they have
