DOCTORS INTERESTED IN NEW
STATE CONSERVATIVE HOSPITAL

Indianapolis. Ind, Nov. 1s.-There is
still a hope that the state tuberculosis
hospital at Rockville may be opened
when ii is completed next May. even
though the state has not made any
provision for equipping the place or
maintaining after 1t is equipped. The
Legislature of 1907 appropriated money
with which to erect the hospital build
ings and get the place ready, but failed
to appropriate anything for furnishing
it or keeping 1t going after it is com
pleted.
The Legislature Of 1909 made appro-
priations for its furnishing and equip
ment, but this appropriation is not
available until the first of October, 1910.
1t is expected that the hospital will be
completed by the first OF May and the
state board OF health and members of
the medical profession have been much
worried because it cannot be put in use
at once on its completion

a committee to devise means of opening
the hospital This committee is com
posed of DR. Kimberlin and Dr. Wish

is known that one wealthy man in the
state offered to give $4,000.
Another plan proposed is for forty
men in the state to give $1,000 each. and
then have the governor ask the next
legislature to reimburse them. At any
rate some plan will probably be worked
out by which the hospital will be open
ed on it's completion.
