They are a com--. tort to tho raffilcted and many a poor ' aufferer cao call down a bleaslng upon : those who proTlded them. , , i But thi isn't aU there Is to the mat ter of hospitals or ambulances; Ports'? land Should not content Itself with re " Uanco Upon private persons or private '. sorporatlona. It owes It to Its self r: respect to see to It that an emergency hospital Is provided for quick relief for the Injured and dying. It Is a burning name that the nearest thing- to a city ambulance at which Portland can boast Itself the owner of Is Its patrol wagons.

OFFICIALS TALK ON THIS MATTER. City Physician Zan said: "That the City of Portland is la aeed of an emerg ency hospital is evident. Such an Insti tution should 'he fitted up in the best possible manner. It should be centrally located". Two nurses should be. engaged, also two surgeons, . one for day service and the other for night service. Ambu lances should be available at all hours of the day and, night " "This system has been In use in every city In the United States, and the good results have been manifest, not to speak of . the good rendered bifmanlty. With our present method of handling cases we are badly handicapped. Just now the city makes, no allowance for cases other than contagious diseases. Emergency cases, no matter how deserving they may 'be, are left to the county. Often a man With a broken leg or some internal injury la taken la the ambulance to the County Hospital, where he can receive immediate attention, "This condition of affairs can only be remedied by the establishment of" an emergency hospital. ' At present what provision Is made for the care of per sons having contagious diseases Is away out there In the country. We should have some arrangements made for the care of emergency cases. In - the absence of something better a ward should be fitted vp in one of 'our hospitals for the care of such cases. PORTLAND BEHIND THE TIME8. "Mayor Howe "The City of Portland certaJnly la la laoed . of an emergency hospital, and the larger the city' grows the more .necessary such an Institution will become. As a matter of fact, it is a mystery to me how the city has got, ten along all these years without an institution of this kind. . . . . . ..

READY ATTENTION NECESSARY. Chief of Police McLauchlan "There are very frequently people jlnjured who ought to be instantly taken care of. I think the ' City-1 of Portland certainly ought to establish an emergency hospital. Thero cannotr her the slightest argument advanced against the need of such an Institution. -r; ,-: 4 j. .. . . 7 "As to the proper location of such an institution, I am unprepared to give an opinion. One thing is certain, and that is that such a hospital should be as central as possile. As matters are now arranged It is the custom to bring tho in jured person directly to the Police Sta tion. If he Is seriously hurt the City Physician is sent for at once, and then whence he will-take a sailing steamer for tho Siberian coasts. Onco there be will proceed to estab lish trading posts.

'Of course It frequently, happens that the emergency Is so1 pressing and' the Injuries so severe that common humanity dictates quick action, and it would be dangerous to delay . action. In ' such cases of course the patient is sent at once to the hospital and the City Physi cian notified afterwards.

Certainty i tho City of Portland ought -to have an emergency hospital well equipped and tho necessary ambulances as soon as possible." HOSPITAL BADLY NEEDED. City Attorney J. M. Long "Am I In favor of an emergency hospital T Of course I am. Every city should have one: Portland should have provided one long before this. You may quote me a strongly as you please In the matter of favoring an emergency hospital. Our new charter is sufficiently ample to cover tho matter. AU that is required is the application of the ordinance. Even the old charter provided for it." - . ' The City Attorney turned to page 13, section t, of the old city charter and pointed out a provision . to tho effect that the Council shall have power and authority In the City of Portland to make regulations to prevent the Introduction of contagious diseases and to provide for tho removal of cases to suitable heap! tals provided for the purpose; to secure tho protection of : persons and property therein, and to provide for the health, cleanliness, etc. . . . CHARTER PROVIDES FOR IT. There 1 a much wider range of au thority provided by the new charter of the) .City of Portland than that given hy tho old charter. Section Z6 of iwrtlole .V, relating to the Board of Health, gives this authority: ' ' -. "f ; Secthm 843. - Tho Board shall have tho management and con trot of the City Hospitals, Ambulance Service, , Recelv: (ng. Hospitals, and supervision of all matters pertaining . to the preservation, promotion and protection of the lives and health of the inhabitants of the city. It may adopt rules and regulations, not Inconsistent With this charter or City ordinances, for determining the character of nuisances, and providing for their abatement, and the discharge of its func tions In general. Such rules shall be kept on file in ths Auditor's office." While this does not specifically au thorise an emergency hospital, its terms are sufficiently broad, in the opinion of several leading attorneys, , to permit of one being instituted. This is a question that should bs taken up and persistently agitated until the end sought is fully attained. Let Port' land have an emergency hospital, and that as quickly as possible!
