Hospital Alderman Gill reported that the Hospital is now Bills charging the City actual cost for its charity patients and that the rate for the past month was 084o He ex- plained that the regular hard rate was $3. 50 and that even a private room was only $5.00 due to the fact that paying patients were allowed the benefits accrueing from end lwv vents or co-.a._:ui-iity chest contributions, etc., thus bringing their rate substantially below cost. He stated that he believed such benefits should accrue to City welfare patients as oll as paying patients and asked the Attorney for his opinion. Attorney Trenan was of the opinion that the Hospital could charge whatever rate they wanted tog and that the Courts had upheld the right of a Hospital to apply the benefits of endowments etc. ,to the rate for regular paying patients and to charge cost It a higher rate for compensation cases and the like. At the- Hayor ' s suggestion the Finance and Charity Comoittees and Mayor were requested to Meet with the Hospital Trustees and attempt to secure some compromise since it was agreed that the City could not afford to pag such a rate.
