Dear Sir y
You wrote me recently about the bill of Ellwood Richardson,
City Fireman, for services rendered him at the Reid. Memorial Hospite , s.nd
asked that we forgive this bill Rs he had been injured while fighting the
John Graf fire, I discussed the matter at, the last meeting of the Hospital
Board, , and we decided to cancel the bill..
r
In addition to this the Board of Trustees adopted a resolution to
the effect that when City Firemen or. Policemen are injured in the line
of duty the Hospital will grant them free Hospital. Service, the character
and extent of the service to be determined by the Hospital Superintendent,
having regard to the nnture of the injury and the tync of service required.
You will understand that this does not cover doctor bills , as we do
not employ the doctors. It will cover,however, the room service, X-r^ys
at the Hospital, end the like.
The Board. expressed 6tself es wanting to co-operate with the City in -
this respect, particularly since the City has been giving free electric
service to the Hosnitel
