Show I RATHER STIFF BILLS i The Tho question has been raised as to who ought to i pay the hospital and aud medical expenses of Mayor l Ga Gaynor It seems to us it would be fair for New Yoi lc City to meet those expenses It is a clear ease case that if he had not been mayor he lie would not have been heen shot and it seems as fair that the city should pay his doctor and hospital bills as it was Vas for the Unit d States government to pay the same bills for services to President McKinley when he was shot But that brings out another fact which is an intimation 1 at least that there are some sonic robbers inthe in inthe inthe the medical and hospital service in this conn country try President McKinley L died within a week after altar he ho was v shot hot and the bills rendered the government and paid for attendance upon him amounted to One doctor in New York thinks the bill for the mayor will average 1000 a day for the time he was in the hospital Another says sars the bill will come nearer than as the mayor was in the hospital three weeks Dr Hart Hart- itz one of the physicians attending u upon on Mayor l Gaynor said no bills hills had been sent out ont and none would be until they wern called for by Mayor l w Gaynor It seems t to us that should be beno no more c charged arged than there would for any other prominent citizen of N New v York had he been shot in- in the inthe the same sanie way and taken to th the same hospital The case of Mayor l Gaynor was wars a great advertisement for the hospital to which Jie le ie was taken and for the ph physician si cian who ho were in attendance They had their names published in jn every city in the union day clay after day until they became familiar to a great many people and all their lives it will be a feather in it their caps eaps when any anyone one asks for a physician to have said Why send for Dr Jones Jones' or Dr Rogers Rog Rog- ers cis or Dr Smith He was one of the physicians that attended attend cd on Mayor Gaynor when he lie was shot This being true a fair lee fee such as would be charged to the flie ordinary J wealthy citizen of New NewY Y be e tl e right thing V V i V c c I V s V- V aV a V t J 7 S 7 V V.
