SITE FOR NEW HOSPITAL.
RAfBRooK, IN ESSEN COUNTY, MAY GET
TUBERCULOSIS INSTITUTION.

IL was learned last night that a majority of
the trustees of the State tuberculosis hos
pital have practically decided upon Raybrook.
in Essex County as an alternative site for the
new institution, and will so report at the next
Joint conference of the Forest Preserve Board.
the State Board Of Health and themselves.
In selecting Raybrook the trustees have ad-
hered to their apparent determination to have
nothing TO do with Dannemora. Dr. Macdonald.
one OF the trustees, is understood to be In favor
OF site adjacent to Dannemora village in order
TO take advantage of the free convict labor in
building the hospital. The other members of
the Board assert that il would be hardship to
send a patient TO a hospital at Dannemora, or
close TO Dannemora. the name Is so inti-
mately associated with penal institution that
IL would jar on the nerves of the friends Of the
patients If the hospital were built there
Raybrook, it was said last night, while re-
garded as a fine fishing locality has no large
hotel 1t is between Saranac Lake and Lake
Placid, and on the railroad connecting those
member of the Forest Preserve Board when
seen yesterday with reference TO the new site,
said:
Il do not understand that any site has def
initely been selected. There is considerable talk
about Raybrook. should Judge that would be
good site, and ii would be free from some of
the objections Of people who did not want the
hospital close to Paul Smiths 1t is too soon
to say whether Raybrook will be accepted as
the site. however"
A member of the State Board of Health when
seen last night, said that II would be foolish TO
Dannemora, as the labor employed there would
cost the state little nothing.
