lish a benevolent fund for needy

If the policeman had seen the

would be to get warrant, with the

But must say the District de-
partment heads have presented a
strong case and made a fine show
ing up to this time" MIR. Bates con-
tinued. II do not mean that all the
past spending and 1948 estimates
should go unquesticned. But a great
deal of testimony to date has in
dicated that many of the expendi-
ture increases in recent years re-
suited largely from salary increases.

tanned at the hearings so far indi-
Gates that District departments are
being pretty well administered. OF
course, we will have lot of ques-
tions to ask"
Testimony at the afternoon session
yesterday centered on health and
welfare activities. Public Welfare Di-
rector Ray L. Huff said public assist
ance costs here are considerably low
er than those Of other cities of COM
parable size. He attributed this
principally to fairly stable employ
ment conditions in Washington, a
good investigative service" and
low payments, especially in child
services.
st. Elizabeth's Payment Studied.
Mr.. Bates declared that the $13 a
month maximum paid to dependent
children over 13 docs not seem to
be enough"
The joint subcommittee gave par
ticular attention to Mr.. Huff's eX-
PLANTATION of the manner in which
the District pays for st. Elizabeth s
Hospital care of many patients
whose domicile cannot be deter
mined or who came here from other
States.
He reported Welfare Department
costs. increased from $5,425,000 in
1887 to $11,371 900 this year. In
creases in District costs at St.
Elizabeth's accounted for more than
$2,200,000. In 1887, he explained,
the District paid for care of 3,458
patients at the hospital at an av-
erage, of $1.80 a day. Correspond
ing figures this year are about 4,800
patients at $355 day, he said.
DR.. George c. Rutland, District
health officer, told the subcom-
mittee his department expenditures
increased from $2,242,19o in 1928,
the first year that various institu-
tions were included, to 5000, 1865
this year.
One of the principal reasons for
this was the increase in personal
services at Gallinger Hospital and
Glenn Dale Sanatorium, DR.. Ruh-
land said. A contributing factor,
he noted, was adoption of the 40
hour week.
yet" DR.. Rutland declared, "our
hospitals are understaffed. We es-
pecially need nurses and nurses
aides. The number of nurses should
be one to every eight patients. We
have one to every 12."
DR.. RuhIand added that the $7.44
average cost per Gay per patient
at Gallinger Hospital is lower than
that of any other hospital in the
District.
