'HOSPITAL ORDERED CLOSED;
ROMIG GOES TO FAIRBANKS
Quitb unexpectedly orders came
from Anchorage yesterday directing
i the immediate closing of the Nenana
hospital and the transfer of patients
; to the Beeson hospital at Anchorage.
Dr. J. H. Romig, who has been in
r
! charge of the local hospital during
the last year, has been transferred
to Fairbanks and will make weekly
; trips to Nenana to look after local
patients. The patients who were un
der treatment at the hospital were
j sent to Anchorage today under the
i care of F. C. Laudermilch.
Even as late as last week, when
j Col. Steese was in Nenana, it was
supposed that the hospital would be
kept open during the remainder of
the summer at least, for the benefit
of the many railroad employes who
Iare work in and about Nenana
and for the many who are engaged
i in the river service. The order to
close the institution, in consequence
j came as a complete surprise to the
| community.
It is understood that the hospital
! equipment, with the exception of
! the linen, will not be disturbed, the
| plan to keep the operating room and
; dispensary available for emergency
| use; and it is also understood that
a gas car will placed on the run be
tween Nenana and Fairbanks, oper
ating daily, so that Dr. Romig will
be easily available at all times in
case of need.
At the time of the retirement of
Col. Hears a decision had been
reached to close the hospital, but
with the transfer in railway manage
ment came an extension of service
pending an investigation of the new
regime. It is claimed at Fairbanks
that the hospital at that place, a pri
vate institution, cannot exist if the
Government continues in the hos
pital business at Nenana. And it is
understood that influences are work
ing at Anchorage to divert local
hospital business in that direction.
The Nenana hospital is not self
supporting, the way it has been
conducted, and it is claimed by the
railway authorities that funds can
not continue to be diverted from the
general railway appropriation for
hospital maintenance. During the
last several months the city of Ne
nana has been providing the hospital
with free steam heat, electric lights
water and telephones in an effort
to prolong the life of the institution.
