Rector urges limits on free bed privilege at Rhode Island Hospital
Rev Anthony R Parshley of St Michael's Episcopal Church argues the Rhode Island Hospital deficit justifies ending town use of free beds for Bristol indigent sick. He notes two beds were once allocated and that any use beyond 60 days yearly taxes the hospital's charity. He calls for the relief department to arrange independent care for the needy.
