PASADENA, June 23.--Plans OF the
Associated Charities of this city for a
permanent tuberculosis camp and san"
itarium as outlined in The Herald a
few months ago are being realized in
n satisfactory fashion.
The committee to whom was entrust-
ed the search for suitable grounds on
which to locate this camp announce
that they have completed the purchase
of a tract of eight acres of land about
half way between the city and Linda
Vista.
The first payment on the property has
been made and 1t is hoped that the
needed contributions for the purpose
will now come in rapidly.
The committee conists of r. Hazard
Halsted, chairman; Charles Burton
Scovile and DR.. George e. Abbott, and
to this committee has been added for
the purpose Of assisting in the manage
ment of the camp John Wadsworth and
Mrs Gertrude II. Macy.
The land purchased consists Of lots
81 and 2S, Pasadena Park tract, and is
as nearly ideal for the purpose as is
possible. One-half of the land is level,
sheltered from the south and west
is beautiful canyon which Is consid-
cred very desra BILE adjunct to the
place.
1t has been the purpose of the COM
mittee to select a site which would be
as healthful as possible and so placed
as not to be objected to by the neigh
borhood.
A tract of land in Altadena was or
iginally desired as first stated by The
Herald, but it is now believed that the
Linda Vista grounds are far better.
Option Held
An option Is held on a considerable
tract of land adjoining the eight acres
already bought and if the money is sub
scribed in time it Ill be bought
For the present purchase some $4,000
is needed and for the cottage dining
room, offices nd tent cottages as much
as 100000 more. A little over $4,000 mas
already been subscribed and the
finance committee believes that it has
considerably more in sight, Cash con-
tributions are invited from all persons
interested
1t is proposed to construct tent
house santarium on the property Sc
cured similar tn the one in Los An
geles known as the DR.. Barlow SAN
itarium, the same to be under the i'm
mediate charge of the Pasadena Asso-
ciated Charities with trained nurses and
competent physicians in control
Tubercular patients for whose as-
sistance the charitable people of the
city are called upon will be placed in
comfortable quarters here.
Tourists desiring to return to their
homes in the east and similarly afflict-
ed will here be cared for temporarily
Open to Many
Poor people suffering from this dis
ease and dependent upon one charitable
organization or another for support
will whenever it is possible be removed
to this camp.
There is one Pasadena church. for
instance, which at this time Is render
ing aid to three families, providing
them tent homes in back yards and
vacant lots about the city. AS soon as
possible an endowment fund will be
raised to provide for part of the run
ming expenses of the institution, al
though it is not contemplated that free
quarters and free care will be pro-
vided for the asking.
1t is said to be the custom of DR..
Barlow to charge the charitable society
sending the patio ut to his establishment
at least one-half of the actual cost OF
the patients care ana some such ar
rangement will undoubtedly be made
for the Pasadena camp.
The Importance of the project for the
general health of Pasadena, as well as
for the tubercular patients in the city
cannot we'll be oVerestimated. For the
city it means systematic and needed
sanitary protection and for the patients
it means a etter chance and better
care.
1t would clean out the cheap lodging
houses Of the city, many of which
through years of occupancy by con-
sumptives have become veritable
breeding grounds for this terrible dis
ease.
Pasadena's tubercular sanltarium
and health camp is a certainty, for the
men and women back of 1t ere hustlers
and the ople generally are enthusi-
astic in their support
