iNow a to the matter of ambulances.
- there are, to be sure, quite a number of
-' imbulancea In Portland, attached to
hospitals, owned by railroad companies
;' by private pertona These are all
tiling a worthy place. They are a com--.
tort to tho raffilcted and many a poor
' aufferer cao call down a bleaslng upon
: those who proTlded them.

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.

Chief of Police McLauchlan "There

tho man or woman, as- tho case may

If the tundi vidua! is only slightly hurt
ho Is sent directly to his home, if he
has, one.
'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. Patients are
necessarily " sent either to St Vlncent

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!
