HOSPITAL CROWDED. DR. REEKS REPORTS
All Departments Occupied to
 Extent Of Their Facilities

Overcrowded conditions at the New Britain General hospital and the nurses home were reported to- day by Dr. T. Eben Reeks, supcrin- tendent.
 The hospital has been running 75 per cent occupied for the past six months. In hospital parance that means the institution has reached it's maximum capacity.
 It is practically impossible for a hospital to accommodate more than 75 per cent Of its maximum bed capacity. Dr. Eeeks explained for several reasons. The 100 per cent bed capacity of a hospital includes bassinets. It also means that every pied. Dr. Reeks pointed out that it is impossible, for instance. to put male surgical cases in a childrcn's ward or medical cases in q mater nty department. For this reason if the maternity ward is full and there is no more room for such cases, the general wards crowded. or small children are being put into private rooms instead of the chil- dren's ward. the hospital is consd- cred full to it's capacity, even though there may be room in some departments.
 Such is the case in the local in- stitution. The hospital maximum capacity is rated at c30 beds. Of these 34 are bassinets, leaving 196 beds for adults. Of the remainder an average Of 17S-1I9 has been oc- Cupied for the past six months. The medical departments are filled 10 capacity; the Children's departments are filled and children are being put in beds in other rooms, The female surgical department is filled almost continuously.

there was only one vacant private room.
 A serious situation was created in the maternity department where there was no more room and it seemed as though the stork would be requested 10 visit a few private homes. In fact hospital officials were on the verge of making such suggestion one day this week. when five mothers and their babies went home and the situation was relieved.
 The same condition prevails throughout the nurses quarters where lack of room increases operating costs and hampers the routine of the entire institution.
 The hospital now has 100 nurses, while the nurses home on Hawkins street has only 51 beds. Nurses are housed in other buildings on hos pital property under more or less makcshift conditions.
 This, according to Dr. Eccks in crcases cost of operating because 1t requires additional house seworll. more matrons and general supervision. more eating places, and sCattcrs the nurses so that they are not under direct supervision as they would be if all were under one roof.
 Improved housing conditions for nurses is the most essential need of the hospital right now, pr. Recks stated.
