the result of opposition to their project
to establish n hospital for consumptive

Brattleboro is a member OF the board of |
trustees. Mr.. Hooker has never con-

itarium for consumptives Is not allowable |
under the will. but hat the funds are |

take charge of them, as provided by lAw. |
Dr. George f. Gale, who was a close |

Ing talked with him about the proposed |
hospital after the will was drawn. II is |
