HEALTH BOARD
PLANS WAY TO
LEVEL DEFICIT
Economy Program Considered
for Hospital and Other
1920 Work.
ARREARS OF 1919 $75,000
Faced by a huge deficit, the city board
of health today mapped out an economy
program for the operation of the City
hospital and for other health work In
1920. The deficit in 1919 was approxi
mately $75,000, and in 1918 $73,000.
Dr. W. B. Gatch, president of the
board, predicts that the deficit will be
reduced greatly during the year by strict
economy.
“Funds for carrying on the health
board work have been inadequate for the
last several years,” he said. “The in
creased cost of supplies and salary in
creases caused the deficit this year. We
will have to make up the lack of funds
by increased economy during the present
year.”
SUGGEST TURNING
SUPPLIES TO MONEY.
Dr. Gatch said that the City hospital
has on hand a great quantity of supplies
purchased in anticipation of increased
prices, and that were they converted into
money they would materially reduce the
deficit.
The report on finances, made at the
meeting of the health board last night,
will necessitate u revision of the budget
for the year, according to l'r. Herman G.
Morgan, board secretary.
Appropriations available to the health
hoard in 1920 amount to about $327,000.
Salary increases for last year amounted
to about $32,000, it was said last night.
SAYS DISPENSARY
NEEDS ABOUT $20,000.
Operation of the city dispensary for
this year will cost about $20,000. accord
ing to Dr. John F. Barnhill, who ap
peared before the board and asked for
an increased appropriation for that de
partment The health board has hereto
fore appropriated SIO,OOO for use of the
dispensary, the remaining cost of opera
tion having been assigned to the Indiana
University School of Medicine, which
was formerly located in the old
college building at Senate ave
nue and Market street in con
nection with the dispensary. The
medical school has been moved to its
new building near tbe Robert W. Long
hospital and since that time the dispen
sary has been forced to meet the cost
of upkeep for the "college building.

The three men named are the county
commissioners.
Mr. Eschbach wrote them as follows:
“When you accepted this gift from
the Worrell Manufacturing Company,
did you know that such gift might
be considered in the nature of a bribe
and that you might be violating the
criminal laws of the state of Indi
ana? ,
“Some of the worst practices this
department haa had to contend with
are similar to this one, and we had
no idea any of the public officials of
the state were accepting gifts from
any dealer. ‘
“It is our advice to you to decline
all gifts hereafter from dealers who
are attempting to sell something to
the county, and not only decline them.,
but decline to purchase from any one
offering a gift.”
