 The annual meeting of the New Ha- ven County Anti-Tuberculosis associa- tion was held at the Gaylord Farm san- itarium in Wallingford Wednesday aft ernoon, about forty people being pres ent, nearly all from New Haven.
 Immediately on arrival the party was | served luncheon, after which Vice President Henry w. Farnam called the meeting to order, in the absence of the president, Dr. Francis Bacon, who was detained by illness.
 Prof. Farnam congratulated the as- sociation on the increased public 1n- terest displayed in it's work and on the growing knowledge of the import ance of fresh air, which resulted in the passage of law by the last legislature providing for better light and ventila- ton.
 Prof. Irving Fisher the secretary, re- ported that the annual reports have been printed and distributed among members, physicians newspapers, etc, of the state. At present the associa- tion has 960 members, sixty of whom are life members.
 In the absence of George w. Curtis of Meriden, treasurer, his report was read by Max Adler, of this city, chairman of the finance committee, in connection with his own report, The contributions for the year amounted to $15,46599, of which $3,429.96 was given to the general fund. The liabilities are $4,9S9,24 and the balance in the bank is $994'3S. Dr. J. P. c. Foster of this city pre- scented the report of the executive com- mittee which reviewed the work of the year. Remarkable growth has attend ed the three years of the existence of the sanitarium. Two shacks have been given by s. w. Hart of New Haven and Irving Chase of Waterbury, and one tent by Max Adler of New Haven, The latter is occupied except in the extreme winter weather.
 The doctors house has been remodel ed, new porches have been built on the cottages, the west end of the main building reinodelled.

 | Further growth of the scope of the work is not prudent until the associa- tion Is on more secure financial basis. At present the cost per capita is SLOTS | per week. and $7 Is the price paid. More cannot be expected and expenses can hardly be further reduced.
