Gentlemen: - Referring to the matter of an Isolation Home for the City of South Bend, the writer, personally, feels that our-city is very much in need of a home, or quarters, in which people suffering.from critically,., contagious diseases may be taken and given the very-best possible care and comfort, without danger of exposure or spreading the disease. While we have never yet experienced this situation, I hesitate to think just whht the result would be on our business should one of our guests contract a disease of such a nature that he would not be admitted to our local hospitals. It is very important that a progressice city, the size: of South Bend, takes every pre:cautio to curb- the spread of contagious diseasea. Very truly yours, Jacob Hoffman, President, Hoffman Hotel Company. On Motion of Councilman Hull the Communication was accepted and ordered to be placed on file. Motion carried. COMMUNICATION..
