There not being a sufficient
3intnbcr of councilmen presen
last Monday evening to consti
tuto a quorum, no session of tin
council was held, but those com
oilmen who wore present discu
Bed matters informally. Anion
the subjects touched upon wn
tlmt in relation to so-culled pat
ers, destitute persons vvl 0
sometime!- get sick and have U
betaken to the hospitals fo
treatment at the r.ityts expense.
It appears that the city gelt
imposed upon in this matter
once in a while, that is, it lie
•footed the hospital bills of met '
who have claimed to bo penni-i
dess, when it was found, or susj i
cioned at least, that they Inn 1
'money. To correct this fraud uj
ion the city, the councilmen, i
'seems, propose to publish tin
^ pi nes of all thdse who are so
unfortunate as to fall sick am
of necessity become tbo object!
of citv cln.ritv.
This question has (ro’ib’.e«
councils before. Several years n
■go in order to prevent imposi
tion upon the city a scheme was
devised in the shape of a kiix .
‘of pauper’s oath which every
■sick and destitute person was re
■quired to subscribe tq before tin
■* ‘city wou:d pay the hospital bills.'
but it seems tins did not work
'wed, or at jea’st not well enough :
so how it ii proposed that, be-;
cause t'ao city is occasionally di j
frauded, the munv worthv n.ci
, , “ * |
who are so unfortunate as to b(
without means and fall ill, must
suffer ihe humilia ion of having
their names published, or g
without proper care and medi
cal treatment.
Who ever heard of quits so;
heartless’ a ' proposition'/ T< (
■;nost people it is humiliating e
nough to be compelled to accejit
chanty under any circumstan
ces, but to be advertised as pau
pers would be little preferable
to dying in the street.
■ This “business men’s” coun
cil has probably hit upon a
•scheme at last whereby it may
savo a few doHars-^and a very.
few at that—but it has not yd
found out that it could just as
well as not cut out $200 or $300
per month salaries that it is now
paying to useless employees.
