Edwards. ole so3 Police“Surgeons, The report of the beard of police sur- geons, made by Df Clinten Mayfield, sec- , Was, in part, as follows: Officers reported sick, 864; number of visits made to sick, 2,723; office @nsitations held, 3.334; cendidates examinéd, 38%; accepted, 151; re- jected, 230. o i The Sanitary Office. The report of Sanitary Officer Frank was in part as followst, “Cranks and depyented persons continue to visit our city, endeavoring to have right- ed their imaginary wrongs. Twelve of such persons were returned whence they came during the year just closed. “Tramps and imposters come here in large numbers seeking the aid intended only for the worthy destitute. It requires the ut- most care to prevent tne dispensing of such assistance to those who donot merit it. During the fiscal year 1898 935 persons were furnished with transportation to their homes, or on their way thereto, an in- crease of fifteen persons over the fiscal year 1897. The amount expended for this purpose in 1898 was $1,740.03. The number thus provided with transportation may be lassified as follows: Males, 670; females, white, 763; colored, 172; native born, 789; foreign born, 146. “The most distressing cases with which this office has to deal are the men from the oyster fields of the Chesapeake bay and lower Potomac river. Forty-one of these oyster dredgers were provided with trans- portation during the year, being an in- crease of eleven over the preceding year. “Thirty-nine women who had been brought to here deserted were furnished with trans- portation to their homes during the year. Many of them had to be sent a long di tance. Eighty-two ex-soldiers and ex-sail- ors, who had come to this city in regard | to thelr pension claims, and were without | the means of returning to their homes, were sent on their way, an Increase twelve as compared with 1897. The records show an increase in the number of persons who came here seeking employment, and, having remained until their funds were ex- hausted, sought the aid of this office to re- turn home: 288 of this class were assisted, while in 1897 the number was but 160, an increase of 78. “I again call attention to the very small appropriation for the transportation of des- titute persons. The sum of $3,300 was ap- propriated for the fiscal year 1898 for the transportation of paupers and prisoners. Of this sum $1,700 was allotted for the transportation of paupers—a stim entirely inadequate, and I beg to renew my former recommendation that the sum of $2,500 be appropriated for the transportation of pau- pers, and that it be separate and distinct from the appropriation for the transporta- tion of prisoners. “I am informed that in the future a hos- pital will be open in connection with the Georgetown University for the seception of such patients as this department may send. This will greatly facilitate providing for the sick or injured in the western part of the ot] ment Hospital for the Insane. During the year 1897 201 insane persons were provided for, while for the year just closed 260 per- sons were properly tried by due process and committed to the hospital for the insane. The proceedings in these cases require sometimes from 5 to 7 days; indeed, many times I have known a much longer period to exist between the filing of the papers and the trial of the case, which shows very clearly the necessity of providing some suitable place of detention for the alleged insane that come into the custody of this department. Thanks are due Dr. Godding, the superintendent of the Government Hos- pital for the Insane, for his prompt assist- ance in providing for the unfortunate in- sane that come into the hands of the po- lice. Ambulance Service. “The number of calls for the ambulance continues to increase from year to year, and the good effect of this part of the po- lice service is duly appreciated. Out of 3,048 calls for the ambulance, 247 were in cases where the ambulance was unneces- sary and rendered no service. The exer- cise of care on the part of those making calls for the ambulances would often save time and inconvenience to this branch of the service. I respectfully renew my recom- mendation of last year that a new one- kerse ambulance be provided, to take the place of wagon numbered 4, which is not District. “During the year [ have on several occa- -ions had considerable difficulty ‘n provid- -ng for the treetment of minor contagious diseases, but the long-felt want “or the es- tablishment of a hospital or wards for the treatment of this character of diseases I am informed will soon be consumm ied. The Insane. “There has been a decided increase in the number of persons admitted to the Gevern- suitable for the purposes for which it is now used. “There ts a great and growing need for the establishment of an asylum for inebri- ates. More than the usual number of per- scns suitable for admission to an asylum of this character have been called to my at- tention in the past year, and I consider a hospital for the care of inebriates quite as necessary and humane as a hospital for the insane.” Foresight.
