as the committee, stated that the total
'1 number of patients cared for was 143.
but that there were three federal
nurses instead of the six or seven. as
picviounly reported. He stated that
at the outset of. the epidemic when the
hospital would not he opened. the
medical men of the city was thinking
of arranging for the use 0! the torn
farm as an isolation hospital. The
bill of this city'was for in excess of
that ofany other city and specified the
case of Stamford. whose total bill
amounted to about. $900. This was due.
in his opinion to the fact that fully $0
per cent of the patients at this city.
who were cared for by lllp city. were
in a position to meet their bills, but
had'not done so. He was not in favor
of the city standing the expense at
these people .and stated that he
thought that the sum or $1,100 would
be suflicient.
Mr. Murphy stated that he was sur-
prised that a member of the council
and the medical profession as well
would he in favor of 'gouging” the
hospital out of $1,000. and he moved
that the renm-t of the committee be

sation between” Messrs. McMullen,

able to do so themselves. A state law
