Thorough investigation of tho charges against the management of Healthwin hospital made by Miss Gertrude Rizer, a former nurse at the institution, and a number of patients who have left the hospital on account of the allegevl mismanagement of Dr. C. K. Cobb, head of the institution, will be made by the board of county commissioners Tuesday, and a report of the investigation will be made "Wednesday, according to a statement made Monday morning by County Commissioner Fdwaid Zeitler. Two weeks ago the commissioners instructed County Atty. Stuart MacKibbin to investigate the charges against the hospital. During the past two weeks, however, Mr. MacKibbin has been too busy with private affairs to carry out the instructions of the board, according to a statement made by the county attorney himself at the meeting of the commissioners a week ago. Last Monday two patients from Healthwin, who left the institution early that morning, appeared before the board and inad- further charges against Healthwin. substantiating the charges agaimt the institution made by Miss Hizer. Commissioner Z. itler apparently was about to gie out a statement regarding the board t commissioners' proposed activity when he was interrupted at the Monday mornin? meeting by Mr. MacKibbin who called him and the other two members of the board into whispered conversation. After that Mr. Zeitler became reticent, sajing mly thct a thorough investigation of conditions at Healthwin would be made by the board Tuesday, and that a report would bo mde by the board immediately following its investigation.
