no one to go in or out without his express order,
and shall make weekly reports to this. Council
of the number of patients received and dis
charged. Passed.
Dr. Collins then read the following report of
the patients treated at his hospital:
As a great many exaggerated rumors has gained
circulation in regard to the expense the city bas
undergone in carrying on a small pox hospital,
‘
flw
ipectfullr submit this, my report to tho May-
id Board of Aldermen, to set the facts before
1 the
proper light:
1 he hospital was organized
gets
, w . JJnly last. J
went to a great deal of trouble and some expense
to fit it up with suitable furznture,sucb as bunks,
matrasses, bedding, cooking utensils, Ac.. Ac. I
fitted up the hospital with a capacity of 60 beds.
The hospital supplies did not cost the city one
farthing, not oven hauling them to tho hospital.
CoL White, Commandant of the Post, gave ine an
ambulance to convey small pox cases from the
caty to the hospital. This ambulance was used
by the government authorities as*well as by the
city, and 1 can show that it was an expense to
me.
By authority of the Mayor and Aldermen, I
employed three (3) hospital attendants. One 1
gave $60 a month. He lias been steward and
ward-master in a small pox hospital for the last
three years, and is conversant with the treat
ment of the disease. He is strictly honest, and
one of the most faithful men in the discharge of
his duties, I ever saw. I require him to be at the
hospital all the time, both nay and night, to see
that the rations are properly cooked and issued
to the patients, and to give all medicines pre
scribed by me.
The other attendant is a negro man wfc
$S a mouth as ambulance driver.
Tho third is a negro woman whogets$ouraonth
as cook. As I needed 20 tables, and as many
benches for the comfort of the sick at tbe Hos
pital, the City Council authorized me to have
them made, and also to have some work done on
one of tho buildings to accommodate more pa
tients. This I accomplished with an expense of
$50 to the City. *
No rations have been drawn from the gOVern-
men(*for our Hospital for 45 days. Wo have ob
served economy, however, and. saved enough
rations to carry on tho Hospital up to tho pres
ent time, with about $60 expense to the City.
I have had*only two cords of wood furnished
me since thelfospital was organised, This has
caused me some embarrassment and trouble, but
I have managed to surmount it, and to get along
ralescent patients and attend-
_ of the Hospital* and cut .old
logs and brush.
About the 27th of last month' I received an
rderto turn over the ambulance that was in my
barge, to Lieut. Barney, of the* Freedman's Bu-
eau, which I did. and since then I have used my
wn team to carry all cases of small pox- out of
the City tot’-e Hospital that were reported to nffe,
froet of charge to the City.
Since the organization of the Hospital, I have
admitted and treated nbd\it 300 eases, all of which
negroes excent a boat 25. As the City Coun-
it the time of my election, did not consider
roes as property belonging to the pauper class,
£ therefore,
Strange,
It's strange to me, but why I cannot tell.
Though it is ?urely true.
That in former times. I remember well.
The sky was clear and blue.
When th»* golden sun poured forth its rays
With grand majestic splendor:
Bui now it seems all rainy days
Have, come with cold December.
It’* strange to me, though it is 50,
The stars once 6hone so bright,
When tho waning moon passed gently o’et
But flow it’s cloudy every night,
Though the strangest thing to me is, that—
Which I never saw before, '
The cheapest, nicest goods are at .
