One of the most meritorious of
the many bills ratified by the last
" Legislature was that providing
for the establishment and main,
tenance of a tuberculosis hos
pital at some point in the State
where those, afflicted with the
.- disease- maybe treated at cost.
The bill, which was introduced
in the House by Represeutatvr
: Gordon and in the Senate by
Senator Holt, was fathered by.
. Dr. J. E. -Brooks, of Greensboro.
It calls for the. appropriation of
;$15,000 for the establishment of
such an. institution and $5,000
yearly for its maintenance. A
board of trustees, consisting of
. 12 prominent legislators, was ap
pointed to take the matter in
hand and see" to its aeeomplish-
inert. . .
TLe siitistics show that the
treat t Lite plajue has a strong
hold on the State. As the con-
dittons now stand, only those
afflicted who have wealth, - can
obtain treatment tn the samto-
rinms. ,The charges range from
$50 to $100 a week in the hos
pitals where the treatment' is in
the hands of highly paid special
ists. It is the plan of those who
drafted the bill, to purchase a
tract of land at the-most suitable
place in the State, erect a number
of cottages there, secure the ser
vice of experts and then throw
open the doors to any and all
who- desire treatment. The
charges will be no more than
enough to defray the operating
expeuses of the institution.1
The trustees have alt of this
work in -charge. " They will fix
upon a site and make necessary
arrangements for the erection of
the- cott.-Esr; ' Further "details
will be announced later.
