Nine Hospitals
In Delaware
Spend Millions
On Free Care
1t Is Emphasized, How
ever, TIL at Patients
Who Are Able To Pay
Their Bills Are Not
PenaliZed.

The nine general hospitals in
Delaware will be giving $2.500.000
worth of free service this fiscal
year to patients who can't pay
their bills.
Slightly higher than the total
free service last fiscal year, the
bulk of this is given by the five
hospitals in the Wilmington area
-s2,225, 009.
They are the Delaware Hospi-
tai. The Memorial General Hospi-
tai, st. Francis Hospital and the
Riverside Hospital
How is this huge figure Offset
in the hospitals budget?
Richard R. Griffith, director of
the Delaware Hospital in Will
mington, explains it this way:
l. Contributions from private
sources; 2. Or, from public tax
sources.
He added, IF the free service
tab isn't picked up either through
one or both sources, il means that
all-around hospital services must
suffer.
Contrary to what a lot of peo-
pie may think" Griffith stressed,
the paying patients are not
charged extra in order to over
come this free service bill.
Charges in Delaware hospitals are
fixed in relation to the cost of the
service without regard to the
amount of free care
The New Castle County Levy
Court can by law appropriate as
much as 1926, 900 a year to the
five hospitals in the Wilmington
area but this has never happened.

Court, however, gave these hospi-

would also encourage compete
ton among fire and casualty
insurance companies.
Currently, fire insurance
companies are required to be
members of a fire rating
organization" The organization
files with the superintendent of
insurance a schedule of fire
insurance rates and these are
the rates charged for insurance
by all member companies. The
companies cannot sell insurance
at rates lower than those lied
by the rating organization.
The chief purpose of the bill
is to remove the compulsory

Two Easements
When the mansion was COM

Besides the basement, the

Two elevators serve the build

servants and the other by the
Chief Executive, his family and
guests.
The residential second and

On the second floor are eight
large bedrooms, four of which
have large dressing rooms, plus
