Editor The Times: As I un-
derstand II, the Pierce county
hospital is controlled by the
county commissioners. I am
much in sympathy with any act
of the legislature which would
put this institution In more COM
petent hands.
II is becoming a well known
fact throughout the county that
only a certain type of person
can obtain attention at this
hospital. which, at least in
emergency cases, should be open
to everyone. l could call to the
commissioners attention many
instances in which people have
been turned away.
II is time we as citizens put
this hospital for which we are

petent board of directors so
emergency cases will be taken
care of Immediately and ques-
