Th b.iiMlnp- of a county ho-p;t,:

i!.!d iv no w.-y Injure the present Institution?, according to tatement rr.ade hy men who have studied the situation not only her'- but who ilso have Investigated conditions whic. resulted through building of ; -unty hospitals In cities no l.rirr

than South 15end. The erection of a county h"-iptal would tend to help tlum become pelf sustaalnlng, It Is be!iev d. Accortlinc: to these Fame men, polities do not enter into the conduct of i county hospital to any Kreat extent. No more fo, they Fay, than into the operation of a school. The cost of incr-a.sir.K the hospital facilities of the city or th- county muMt in the end be paid by a pa-eater part of the public. The unfortunates must he cared for and the public must stand thr expense. If the pres' nt institutions are to be increased the cost must be met by popular subscription. Thin raises the cjuestionn: Will the people of South ISend subscribe a half million dollars? Will the burden of caring for all of the unfortunates of St. Jos' ph county fall upon South Ilend people? Will they b fore d to me et the annual deficit which would be sure to occur? If the county should build a hospital, everyone who benefits will also pay a part of the cost, through

taxation. Th p'opl must first vote in lej;al manner slirnlfyint; their de re for a hosr.it.al and for prrmUsicn from the state tax board cf the county to be ml itself t amo'iv if the cost of th-- institution. The Chamber of Com-me:.-., conuu'-Tin ;i eri-tal referenduia L. tlnd the attitude of the people on the rjucstlon of hospital

Clttle

s in the ri.Tht direction.

A ba'lot should be prepared and aerythini: h.andlel as nearly as pt.sj.b'e the aroe r-a in a reqalar election. It would require at least three years before a county hospital could be built and the same length of time would be r'uired if a hospital is built by popular subscript'on. It would require a Ions time to raise a half million by popular .subscription. At any rate it won't be very Ions before a county hospital will have to be built in order to care for only charity case-.
