cil to complete construction of the
contagion hospital near Kelly Butte.
In fact the contagion hospital ques
tion is bow as unsettled as it has been
In any time during- the past three
years, during which time it has bean
. nndar constant discussion, before the
ity commissioners.
The revival of the contagion hos
pital was brought about whan Com
Biissioners Pier, Blgelow and Mann
appeared before the council yester
day and announced that County Com
missioner Muck favored the Imme
dials, construction ef a contagion
hospital with county funds, that
County Commissioner Holman favored
allowing the county to build such
hospital at some future date when
money was available and that Dr. K
A. J. Mackenzie, dean of the Univer
sity of Oregon medical school, favored
location of the contagion hospital
adjaeent to the medical school and
county hospital now under construe'

Coaaty Pledge Aakved.
Mayor Baker and Commissioner

abandonment of the city's plans ii

pital unless the county would pledge

Immediately so that it would he
utilized not later than next fall
Commissioner Mann switched to
this view after Mayor Baker had ad-
creased the council with plain state
ments concerning the derelict man
ner in which the city commission has
Jiandled the contagious disease ques
tion during the past year.
"Why, it Is criminal for us ta place
smallpox patients in a filthy, dirty
jail and influenza patients in a rotten
old building," said the mayor. "1
refuse to give up the plan of build
ing the hospital unless I have definite
assurance from the county commis
sion that they will build the hospital
e.nd have it completed by fall.
Beat Heeple Get Smallpox.
"We are not dealing with the rabble
n this connection. The best people
contract lnfluensa and smallpox. It
may hit your own home next. H a
have made nothing but mistakes tB
handling this question. A contagioB
hospital should have been built three
years ago. It is our responsibility
and the public expects us to race It,
Any shifting of this responsibility
will not satisfy the public."
Commissioner Pier and Bigelow
favored the construction of a tem
porary wins? to the smallpox aottaga
near Kelly Butte, on the grounds that
it would be unwise for the city to
expend 150,000 when the county also
planned to erect a contagion hos
pital.
Duplication Avoided,
Commissioner Barbur cited Hie fact
that excavation for the proposed mu
ntcipal contagion hospital was com
Rleted and plans had been made to
begin actual construction not iater
than next Wednesday. Ho agreed that
. it the county wauld pledge itself Im
mediately to construct a contagion
hospital it would be unwise for the
city to duplicate the work, but he
was firm in the decision that he
would not favor abandoning the city's
plan until definite assurance had
been given by the uuunty officials.
At the supgeMion of Mayor Baker
the city council will meet with the
county commissioners at the next
meeting of the latter body, at which
time the mayor said he ''hoped that
the contagion hospital question might
be settled for all time.
