Increased Care Costs
Expand Health Budget

dreds Of X-ray devices used
by physicians and dentists In
the area.
An increase Of $4,000 en-.
visions an improved food sani-
tation program. This would
provide nine new employees to
check restaurants and food
suppliers more frequently to
determine if their food, kitch-
ems and employees are free Of
contamination.
Ten new positions are asked
to provide more dental correc-
tive services to 1000 school
children and 1000 pre-school
children who cannot be cared
for with the present dental
staff.
The District Dental Society
has backed increases, saying
that out-moded equipment and
lack of staff causes many needy
District children to go without
dental care.
To check the eligibility of
persons now getting out-patient
care at hospitals to which the
city pays $750,000 annually. the
Health Department requested
S62 900. This would provide 10
employees to determine whether
persons getting free care can
pay for at least a part of it.
Mental Health Clinics
Requested increases also in
cludes $4,000 for family mem
tai health services. The money
would add to the staff of the
Northeast clinic and establish
a similar program for mental
health in the Southeast.
The purpose Of the clinics
is to correct mental health
problems within a family be-
fore they damage the mental
health of the whole family.
Other increases include $780,
900 to provide additional free
obstetrical care at three private
hospitals and to increase the
Districts rate Of payment to
the hospitals from $36 a day
to $3.50.

The District seems to be feel
ing the same squeeze that a
family feels when its hospitali-
zation costs go up-with no
increase in services.
Thus the District, Health De-
partment asked for a 1864 bud
get today that would provide it
with 1898 300 more than it is
working with now. The budget
request itself says that more
than 70 per cent of the in
creaSeS are due to increased
costs of providing medical care
at District General Hospital,
Glenn Dale Hospital, the Con-
tract Hospitals and st. Eliza
beth Hospital"
Contract hospitals are pri-
vate hospitals the District pays
to provide services to those who
cannot afford to pay for it
themselves.)
The request for nearly S6
million additional would bring
the departments 1864 operat-
ing budget to s50,262,80o.
s New VD Workers
After increased costs are
taken care of, about 81 million
is left for increased services.
An increase of $500 is re-
quested to provide eight new
venereal disease workers to
check with physicians and
track down infected persons
sexual contacts before they in
feet others. The District and
Federal Governments now
have about 80 persons working

times the national rate.

Sometimes
'cIogged Ears
Cause Distress

It's normal for wax to collect
in the ears. However, some peo-
pie collect more than others. If
this wax is let alone, in many
cases it hardens. This hard wax
accumulation can cause reduced
hearing or piercing pain in the
ear area. Never use metal or
wood to remove the wax. Hair
pins or pencils are extremely
dangerous. They can pierce the
ear drum and cause severe dam
age.
The easy way to remove this
clogging wax is with Auro Ear
Drops. Your druggist has Auro.
Just warm the bottle and apply
few drops to the ear with
the convenient dropper in the
bottle. Auro softens the wax so
you can wash it away. 1t may
be necessary to repeat the treat
ment a few days. If you ear is
painful or inflamed it may be
wise to see a doctor. But to
clean out wax safely, use tried
end tested Auro Ear Drops.

ton that the pier will undoubtedly stimulate.
Inasmuch as we have handled the cargo operation at
Frederiksted for the past half century and we intend to
continue doing so indefinitely, we now intend to start
planning for a proper efficient cargo operation. In this
connection, we have given considerable thought to the
Warehousing of cargo discharged from vessels using the
new pier. It goes without saying that our present facili-
ties for Warehousinga are not properly located or adequate
ito efficiently service this future operation. 1t is our UNI
Outstanding that there's being considered a transit shed
to be located on the pier head; that this transit shed is
still in the planning stage, and we strongly recommend
that the present pier head, or pier head approach, is not
sufficiently wide to accept any workable shed. For this
reason, we believe it essential to begin serious considera-
ton OF locating an adequate transit shed where more
space is available to accommodate a more practical and
efficient transit shed operation. It it our recommends
tion that the Government property along the shore line
south of the Frederiksted Fort running upto the vicinity
of the lighthouse should be designated as the proper area
for a transit shed. Naturally, we would not want to des-
troy the architectural value of the Fort and believe that
a desirable warehouse can be designed to be in keeping
with the existing architecture.
Any other location more distant from the pier would
not be e~conomicalo or practical from an operational view
point.
We discussed this matter with Mr.. William Thayer Of
the Planning Board and he suggested that the proper
place to locate such a warehouse would be in the Pub
lie Works area Of the Fort Building. This location is
greatly unsatisfactory in our opinion.
If the Government would see fit to designate the area
we suggest, we would wish an opportunity to negotiate
a long term lease that would be suitable to allow us to
erect a transit shed for accommodating the pier.
In other words, we would have a warehouse designed
that would meet Government approval and we would
build it at our expense. Alternately, the Government
could build suitable warehousingf~ facilities which would
be leased to the operator.
We are sending a copy Of this letter to the President Of
the Legislature and to Mr.. Thayer hoping that we re-
ceive favorable consideration of our recommendation.
