At the same time the committee wish to go on record as stat- ing that it was highly nec- essary that the investiga- tion should be held so that the whole facts cleariy ap- pear. “This case emphasizes the necessity of providing as soon as possible for a pro- per building for an isolation hospital, preferably on the hospitai grounds.”’ Moved by Ald.
