GALL|NCER PLANS
SPEEDEDBYP. WA.
VenereaI Disease Ward Is
Included in Program of
$1,325,000 Funding.

p. w. A. approval Of loans and
grants amounting to $l.325,0O0 for
new buildings at Gallinger Hospital
will aid the city's health program in
many ways. Health Ofiicer George C.
Rutland said today.
He voiced hope that plans for en-
largement of the hospital would make
possible at an early date the estab-
lishment OF a venereal disease ward.
which he said was badly needed, since
there now Is no such ward at the
institution.
As further result o. rearrange-
ments made possible at Gallinger, he
continued, the children's ward has
been moved from It's former location,
permitting the establishment of nose
and throat wards and an operating
room.
Prenatal Care Furthered.
He predicted that nearly 1000 ex-
pectant mothers would be given pre-
natal care this calendar year, as a
result Of expanded health services
and explained there is close rela-
tionship between this phase of the
program and the child delivery service
at Gallinger.
Last year only 700 INDECENT ex-
pectant mothers were receiving pre-
natal care at the Health Department
prenatal clinics, including one at
Gallinger, but up to July l this year
the number of prenatal patients
under care numbered 1881.
A new program for care Of crippled
children is about to be started. A
clinic has been established at Gal
linger for the care of cases not now
under the guidance of other existing
clinics, particularly those that come
from Gallinger Hospital services.
Clinics Start August Is.
The first of the new clinics will
be held August 15 The beginning
of this service, DR.. Rutland said, will
make possible the housing OF a pre-
natal clinic in the same building and
the establishment Of an out-patient
pediatric clinic for Gallinger cases.
DR.. D. L. Seckinger, Health De-
partment co-ordinator Of health and
hospital services, said the department
plans to establish out-patient clinics
as rapidly as facilities can be made
available. He said this would make
it possible in most instances for
patients to be seen first at the clinics
and later admitted to the hospital.
He said this procedure was highly
desirable both from the view OF hos
pital organization and cost.
DR.. Seckinger added that In the
near future genealogical and surgi-
cal out patient clinics will be put
into operation in the building which
now houses the venereal disease
clinic.

70 CAB DRIVERS
TO 0SAVEPERM|TS
Arrange to Post Policies of
Liability Insurance to
Stop Court Move.

Twenty members Of local unin-
corporated taxicab association ar
ranged today to post liability insurance
policies in order to regain their
licenses. which were revoked by the
Traffic Department on disputed con-
tention that $3.50 Judgment had not
been satisfied within the required 80
days.
Justice Oscar r. Luhring in District
Court yesterday dissolved a temporary
restraining order which had held up
drivers named in the judgment as
owners of IS taxicabs. Police i'm
mediately were ordered to take up the
operating permits, registration cards
and license tags Of the drivers in
volved.
Edward R. Deane Of the Traffic De-
partment said the licenses probably
would be restored Immediately when
the drivers posted evidence of finan-
cial responsibility to satisfy any future
judgments.
Albert w. Jacobson. attorney for the
drivers, said the 20 men who still are
members of the same association
which was not mentioned in the pro-
ceedings against the drivers as in
dividuals-had arranged to take out
$l1. 900 liability insurance policies to
meet the requirements today. Mr..
Jacobson said each of the 20 men
owned q single cab.
19 Have withdraw.
The 10 other drivers involved have
Withdrawn from the association which
has a total of 273 members. Mr..
Deane said some of them had con-
tinued operating taxicabs and others
had taken other jobs Their licenses
all have been suspended, whether for
taxicabs or private cars, he said Some
OF them also were arranging for liabil-
lty insurance. Police were seeking the
others.s to take up their driving cre-
dentials.
The order barring the drivers in
volved from the District streets grew
out OF suit instituted in Municipal
Court last August by Fannie Frederick.
who contended she suffered damages
while passenger in a taxicab owned
by Clarence S. Hurley on May IA. 1897.
Her suit named 80 drivers individual
ly as members of the unincorporated
association. Last April rs, she was
awarded the judgment. Under a court
order, the defendants were permitted
to pay the judgment in $3.50 INSTALL
pea1tc uhioh
met as due.
Motor Responsibility Act.
The Traffic Department acted under
the Motor Vehicle Financial Response
bility Act of 1885, which requires the
driver of any car against whom a
judgment is issued as the result of an
accident to satisfy the judgment within
80 days or face mandatory revocation
Of his license, which can be restored
only after posting evidence of future
financial responsibility.
Through Corporation Counsel FL
wood H. Seal and his assistants, the
Traffic Department contended that
revocation of the licenses of the 80
drivers involved in the suit was mand-
atory under this act because the judg-
ment had not been entirely paid within
80 days.
Mr.. Jacobson contended for the
drivers that their payment of the
judgment in installments under q
court order constituted staying of the
judgment and met requirements of
the act. 1t was on this ground that
he obtained the temporary restraining
order against the license revocation
action on July is, which was dissolved
yesterday by Justice Luhring.
