"If they will give me the authority I can fix-up an emergency hospital on the third floor of the city jail," said Chief of Police Hunt yesterday. - "It will probably take from $260 to $300 to make the necessary changes and to Install the conveniences which will be needed. Of course for this turn noth ing elaborate can be furnished, but the ward will have all that is needed. -1 submitted plans some time ago, and now as soon as I get 'the word I can go aneaa ana -make tne changes. . "Among other things it is necessary to have a padded cell - where , dellridm tremens patients can be eared for. In a padded, cell they will be unable to hurt themselves, and in such a place all articles with which they might harm themselves can be taken from them. It Is essential that we have ; a padded cell. Then the plumbing must be fixed and changed, and we will have to pro vide a bed, an. operating table and what ever else-is. heeded." , '..'v.:::'.:: . The reason , for placing the ward on the third floor of the Jail is that there la no other story where there Is room. It was suggested that the detectives turn over their room in- the second storyt but Chief, Hunt would not permit this. On the upper foor there is more ventilation, less noise and confusion, be sides more light All these advantages,' combined ; with , the fact that on the third floor alone can room be found for the ward, compels its estaDllshment on t&i floor. "vi.V' v :V.".";. An illustration occurned yesterday showing the need of the hospital. Early in the day a man was taken with an epileptic fit on a streetcar. An officer took him to the station after the sick man recovered hia senses on the street. The victim of the fit was stUl ill, but he said he could leave. - There was dan ger of his having another fit and prob ably injuring himself severely, but the police had no place to Jceep him. . In many emergency cases a ride to the hospitals in the ' patrol wagon might prove fatal, Under the proposed con ditions those injured will have imme diate attention at the station.
