It is to be regretted that all the county hospitals are not represented, as the omission of any county mars the completeness of the record. It seems, however, that the records of some of our county hospitals are kept in such a careless and unsatisfactory manner that when a request is made for reliable data they are unable to supply it; hence the diseases and deaths of the indigent sick in these counties is unknown: REPORT TO THE STATE BOARD OF HEALTH OF THE INDIGENT SICK Treated in the Trinity County Hospital for the year ending December 31, 1884.

Los Angeles County Hospital and Farm is situated in Los Angeles County, about one mile east of the city, on a farm of thirty-seven acres of rolling ground; is high and dry, with a fine view of the city and surrounding country. The hospital is surrounded by a fine orchard of orange, lemon, apple, peach, fig, and other fruit trees. The front is nicely laid out in flowers, and each side of the entrance road is bordered with cypress hedges, as is the front on both sides of the entrance. Along the sides and back are numerous pepper trees, for shade. The hospital is a large fine building of wood, two stories high, each twelve feet in clear, hard finished throughout, is set up about five feet from the ground, with wide porches around the front of building, and a wide porch above and below in the rear; containing seven large wards in the main building and two sunny wards in the rear, which are used for consumptive patients; each with nine or ten beds, each lighted with nine large windows. Both wards stand up ten feet above the ground; under one is the laundry fitted up with stationary tubs and hot and cold water. The seven large wards in the main building have room for ten to twelve beds in each. Two of the wards on the south each have five large windows; the two on the east and west front each have four windows. The main hallway is twelve feet wide; cross halls between the wards are ten feet wide. There are water-closets and bath-rooms on each floor. The front is occupied as office, dispensary, and storeroom, on one side of the hall; the other is occupied as reception-room and library. The second floor has three of the large wards and four smaller rooms that are occupied by the steward, matron, and nurses. In the rear of the main building, between the two wards in the rear, is the dining-room, seating at present fifty-four; under the dining-room is the kitchen, fitted up with range and hot-water tank, also storeroom and dining-room for employés. The house is supplied with water from the city waterworks. The sewerage is good, having a fall of about fifty feet, to a ravine with _running water in, in the rear of the farm. Supplies are bought in Los Angeles as needed. Dr. Walter Lindley is medical attendant-visits every day. The house was built in 1878, and is now in good condition. The area to each patient I do not know. WALTER LINDLEY, M.D. Dr. Lindley took charge of the hospital January 8, 1885. |
