DELAY STREET WORK Meridian Widening to Wait Until Spring. Widening and resurfacing of Meridian St. between Fall Creek and Thirty-Eighth St. will be delayed until spring, according to City Engineer A. H. Moore. Early last summer the Duvall administration set out to repair the main thoroughfare before winter. The project struck several legal snags which will make it impossible to complete before winter weather.

Moore said he desired to look over the specifications of former City Engineer Paul R. Brown before approving the plans.

CITY HOSPITAL MAY ABANDON MENmWARD Dr. Morgan Points Need of Retention; Blames Cut in Budget. Dr. Herman G. Morgan, city health board secretary today pleaded for continuance of the city hospital psychopathic ward. Failure of Marion County Council to include in its 1928 budget provision for paying the city $3 a day for treatment of mental patients at city hospital threatens abandonment of the ward about Jan. 1, it was stated. “From the human twentieth century medical standpoint imperative the city hospital psychopathic ward continue,” said Dr. Morgan. “Since opening the ward in 1924 a surprisingly large percentage of cases admitted have returned to society. This is due to the fact that cases received proper treatment during early stage of mental break. “Had this group been confined in jail and left without proper medical supervision a large number would eventually have been committed to insane hospitals. “It is no longer considered good practice to treat mental cases in jail. Many cases of mental disorders, taken early, can be restored to society. The modern idea is that proper treatment for mental cases is as essential as for other diseases.” CAR THIEVES TAUNT HIM “Allgood” Is Misnomer, He Finds After Seeing Own Auto Pass.
