Health Board President Lederle Of
New York is confident that the city
named viii soon be able to deal with
tuberculosis in manner worthy Of its
importance. He expects that the $780,
600 asked for the purpose win be
forthcoming and that most gratifying
results win be shown. He would ss-
tablish a sanitarium capable Of treat
ing 500 patients outside the city, but
