Original Toronto Star caption: Cause for concern by Scarboro fire department officials is the overcrowding in Scarboro General hospital. Photo above shows six beds in the corridor of the hospital's maternity ward. This is a serious thing, said Inspector Ronald Murphy during a routine inspection today. This is a worry to us. I let the mother superior know we didn't like to see those beds there, the inspector stated.
