Washington D.C., September 5, 1935 – In a shocking revelation, the Board of Public Welfare has proposed a budget of $10,443,050 for 1937, a staggering $3,059,848 more than the allotted $7,508,202 for the current year. The proposal, made public today, has sent shockwaves through the nation’s capital, with many questioning the motives behind such an enormous increase. At the heart of the controversy lies the welfare board’s plan to convert Columbia Hospital into an adjunct of Gallinger Municipal Hospital, dedicating it solely to indigent obstetrical cases. Critics argue that this move is nothing short of a blatant power grab, aimed at funneling more taxpayer dollars into the welfare board’s coffers.
