forecast

"In

ATJAkl
HOSPITAL
Meeting
Last
Night
on
Subject
With
Dr.
G.
F.
Amyot,
Director
of
Public
Health
Service
The
most
modern,
practical
and
economic
plan
for
the
meet
ing
permanently
of
Prince
Rupert's
isolation
hospital
problem
"
Is
the
establishment
of
isolation
facilities
In
a
ward
or
wards
within
the
hospital
itself,
Dr.
G.
F.
Amyot;
director
of
public
health
service
for
the
province,
told
the
hospital
board
at
its
meeting
last
night.
As
a
tempor
ary
measure,
separate
buildings
such
as
those
which
were
built
in
connection
with
the
military
hospital
might
be
used
when
the
need
arose
if
it
was
Impossible
meantime
to
find
the
necessary
room
within
the
hospital.
Later,
when
the
general
hospital
took
over
the
military
hospital
building,
it
was
felt
there
would
be
ample
room
for
Isolation
wards.
When
such
ward
or
wards
were
not
required
for
communicable
diseases,
they
could
be
used
for
certain
types
of
general
hospital
ization
cases.
There
was
a
general
discussion
wllh
Dr.
Amyot
on
the
local
isolation.
hospital
situation.
It
wras
agreed
that
the
present
isolation
hospital
was
entirely
inadequate
and
unsuitable
and
something
should
be
done
to
Improve
the
facilities
for
the
handling
of
isolation
cases.
The
suggestion
was
made
that
military
and
civilian
isolation
cases
might
be
handled
Jointly
In
the
same
premises,
Dr.
Amyot
emphasizing
the
advisability
that
there
should
be
one
control
with
arrangements
whereby
one
party
would
pay
the
other
remuneration
for
services.
There
will
be
an
early
meeting
of
the
city
and
hospital
commit
tees
on
the
isolation
hospital
matter,
the
city
having
given
the
hospital
board
assurance
that
the
subject
Is
receiving
serious
consideration.
Meanwhile,
Dr.
Amyot
has
of-fcred-to
take
the
matter
up
with
the
military
authorities
with
a
view
to
obtaining
co-operation.
Dr.

was
