In addition, the City will pay the actual medical and hospital expense of said employee due to and caused solely by his injury, provided that after emergency treatment, the employee obtain the consent of the City in writing as to the doctor to be employed, and in all events, hospitalization, if any, shall be in the Wichita General Hospital, which is operated by said City and Wichita County, Texas.

No benefit shall be paid for any.injury resulting in death save and except the hospital and medical bill of the employee that has been arranged for under this Section prior to the death of the employee, and salary, if sly, paid to the date of death. 2.

In applying for benefits under this Section, the employee agrees that he will accept the services of the Wichita General Hospital in a ward for hospitalization and will accept any doctor on the staff of said Hospital as his medical attendant, which doctor shall make one report each month to the Personnel Director.
