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.
On motion meeting adjourned.
