The members of the state tubercu-
losis commission met at Proctor yes
terday and went over the line OF the
Rutland railroad with a view OF get
ting information relative to location
for the tuberculosis sanatorium which
Senator Redfield Proctor is to erect
and to present to the state. Henry
RaIlard a member of the commission,
said that the Proctor sanatorium
would probably be located in the
southern part of the state. He salo
the commission would soon go over
the northern section of the state with
a view of securing location for Sec
and institution. which the commission
would probably ask the next legisia-
ture to erect at the expense OF ths
state As a reason for this he cited
the fact that one sanatorium would be
able TO care for only a few patients
and that with an institution in two
sections of the state the work OF eau
cation would be carried out much bet
fer
