A. W. Macpherson has given great service to the county and should be retained as medical superintendent at the hospital. 3. That the present nursing personnel has proven more than satisfactory and that the doctors object to any contemplated changes.

4. That Miss Doris doninger, dietician, should ibe retained. 5. That a business superintendent 'be appointed to have charge of purchases and to supervise the indigent part of the hospital, but that a definite line be drawn between the authority of the business superintendent and the medical superintendent. The medical superintendent must still retain the duty of purchasing medical supplies.

6. That a. head nurse ibe appointed to handle the nurses at the hospital, tout that she not ibe given authority to hire or discharge without permission of the medical staff. Dr. West pointed out that through 'the present management of the hospital thousands.of-dollars were being brought into Reno and that many cases, heretofore treated in coast ihospitails were being handled by local physicians.

Dr. S. K. Morrison, chairman of the Washoe General hospital staff, introduced the committee and briefly outlined the purpose of the conference withi the board. Dr.
