postmasters under civil service and
doing away with the four-year limit

The theory that members of Con-

For this fiscal year, the Welfare

it was understood that he will at once

TT will be necessary only to revise
that survey by bringing it up to date

The Surgeon General indicated also
that the Public Health Service would
cooperate willingly with the press by
way of keeping it in touch with de-
velopments in the survey. From now

they had been slashed when appro-
priations finally were made. The
largest cut in the Gallinger estimates
was shown to be in the fiscal year
1886 when the board requested items
totaling $1,588642 and when the ac-
tual appropriation was but $631 400.
Mr.. McReynolds stated If the ap-
preparations which were recommended
by the Board of Public Welfare had
been made in full, there is no ques-
tien but what Gallinger Hospital now
would be in good shape and the Diff
culties which have recently been de-
scribed in the public press would not
have appeared.
Those difficulties are entirely due
to inadequate personnel, inadequate
maintenance fund and to lack of space
for the care OF patients. all of which
would have been rectified If the appro-
priations recommended by the Board
OF Public Welfare had been approved
by the various authorities through

"The board has the utmost conf
dence in DR.. Edgar A. Bocock, su-
perintendent of Gallinger Hospital,
whom it regards as one of the ablest
hospital administrators in the United
States, who has accomplished marvels
| with inadequate funds and inadequate
personnel. Typical of what he was
| able to accomplish with practically
| no funds at all was the rebuilding of
many of the obsolete and condemned
wooden or ancient brick structures
around the institution which had
been abandoned but which were re-
constructed for emergency use by the
continually cordial cooperation OF
the c. w. A. and the w. P. A. In
addition. vast improvements in streets,
walks and grounds were made in the
same way"
When newspaper stories displayed
the shortcomings of the hospital facil-
tiles, questions arose as to who was
| responsible.
Health Ofacer George c. Ruhla I'D,
who was given Jurisdiction over the
hospital last July /, said that Gal
fingers difficulties were due to an
| accumulation of items of neglect; that
the appropriation act for this fiscal
year had been passed, that the Dis
| trict must live under that and he
| hoped for more liberal appropriations
| In the future.
A quick retort came from Repre-
sentative Ross Collins, Democrat. of
Mississippi, chairman of the subcom-
mittee of the House Appropriations
Committee in charge of District esti-
mates, who protested that he had
given the Health ONCE increased
| appropriations and added that he
hoped he would not find the conf
dence he had displayed in DR.. Ruh-
land misplaced. Dr. Rutland wrote
to Mr.. Collins explaining he had not
intended to imply that the response

with Congress. Up to today the We'll
fare Board had kept out Of the
