The request has been made in a letter sent by the chairman of the committee to Supt. F. Leon Hutchins. The letter is as fo'iows: F. Leon Hutchins, Superintendent Backus Hospital: Dear Sir:— I have been asked by the state coun- cil of defense to aecertain whether your hospital has on hand a stock of surgical dressings to be drawn upon in case of sudden military emergenc; If not, it is urged that such be pro vided, sufficient to last tw. or i¥-ee weeks, and kept in a sealed box in readiness for such contingencies. If such material cannot be other- wise obtained, the local Red Cross chapter would probably provide it. Tt is requested also that you send me a list of euch articles when obtained. Preparing For Military Emergency Backus Hospital Asked to Provide Surgical Dressings for In- Sent Here—Connecticut State Will you kindly tell me also if you have extra cots and their equipment in readinéss for a possible need of sudden expansion, and if so, how many? Could you take more pupil nurses, and how many? How many invalids or injured men could you take care of on a three hour, 12 hour and 24 hour notice? What percentage of your pa- tients under average conditions are such as could be discharged to make room for acute cases, including in these cases which could be refused such as maternit; cases? I am seeking this information as a member of the committee on medicine and sanitation of the Connecticut state council of defense, and will appreciate an immediate reply. Chairman of the Committee on Medi- cine and Sanitation. This request is taken to imply that it may be possible that the Backus hospital will be called on to take care of wounded soldiers. It is quite prob- able that tidewater hospitals through- out the country will be called upon to take care of wounded. soldiers and sailors sent back from the war zone during the coming months. PLAINFIELD HAS NEED OF NEW ALMSHOUSE Present Building is Old and More or Less Out of Repair. Secretary Charles P. Kellogg of the state board of charities did not find the conditions at the almshouse in tast Haddam satisfactory when he isited the institution one day this week. He thought some of the beds ncomfortable and he recommended that new beds be substituted for them, On a visit to_the almshouse at Gro- ton Secretary Keflogg was of the opin- ion that it was badly in need of a bet- ter water supply and he made a rec- ommendatin to that effect. Other- wise the institution was in a satisfac- tory condition he thought. In Plain- field there is reported a pressing need for a new almshouse. The building at present used for the accommodation of the poor of that town is declared to be old and more or less out of re- pair. It is the opinion of Secretary Kellogg that a_new almshouse should be erected without delay. The insti- tution at Killingly he considered well and up to date in its fur- shings.
