You were familiar with the doings of the trustees last year, and with the general history of the hospital. Do you or not know, not with standing these remonstrances of your own, that no movement was made towards a remedy for these bath-rooms until there was a report of the Committee on the hospital last year urging it and insisting upon it, and ordering it to be printed in the hospital report? I say until then there was no movement made towards those bath rooms? A. There was no bath room fixed over. I cannot tell what amount of fuss they ought have made about it; but there was none fixed until this last year, and then only one tier on the men's side. Q. What do you mean by one tier? A. I mean for the first wing; three bath rooms for the first wing. When I left there were wings without bath tubs. That was the last day of November.
