tFrom Thursdays Advertiser,

{From Thursdays Advertiser.)
Thirty-five minutes was the time re-
quired by the Central Antituberculosis
Committee yesterday to approve and
pass the report of its subcommittee
embodylng complete plans for the cam
paign against the disease. The report
outlines and even works out most de-
tails, of a campaign for three years,
during which time it is probable that
its recommendations could be carried
out without change, did the committee
so wish. Chairman j. p. Cooke stated
that it was one OF the most complete
that he has ever read in his experience.
1t is given almost entire below, as
read by Doctor Hobby. Besides men.
tioning the work that must be done and
the mode of procedure necessary, it
goes further and Classics the different
classes of work into five different de-
partments ascribing which part of the
work each department will handle w.
Il. Castle, representative of the civic
federation, moved that it be approved
and passed, and offered a further re3o-
luton as follows:
Resolved That in order to carry out
and effectuate the several lecommenda.
tons of said report, permanent sub
committee of five, which shall be select
ed from the Central Antituberculosis
Committee, shall be appointed by the
chairman to serve for one year and
thereafter till their successors are APP
pointed, to be called the executive COM
mittee.
The executive committee shall, as
far as possible, carry out the recon-
mendations of the special committee
hereinbefore adopted; such report to
constitute basis, or principle of ac'
tion; but it may, on the concurrence
of the antituberculosis. committee make
such notifications of such principles as
experience shall show to be desirable
or necessary.
1t shall from time to time as Otter
as it requires consultation and at least
once each three months, and whene1ei
requested by the chairman or any
three members of the antituberculosis
committee, report to the said antituber
.culosis committee to which it shall al
ways be responsible.
The resolution was put to the qJes
ton and carried. In pursuance Will
its terms, Chairman Cooke appointed
Doctors Hobby, Brinckerhoff and Hod
gins and MessIs. Gait and Rath as the
executive committee and the five hello
a short preliminary conference immc
diately after the meeting adjourned.
just previous to the reading of the
report, Doctor Pratt resigned as the sec
rotary of the committee on account
of the pressure of work and his owl
health and j. A. Rath was elected IL
his stead.
There was but a short discussion o.
the report before the resolution which
approved it was acted upon, and bu
few changes were made. The commit
tee which offered it consisted of james
A. Rath, Drs. w. G. Hobby and A. G
Hodgins.
Those present at the meeting wer'
i. p. Cooke, j. h. Gait, Docto
Brinckerhoff, Mrs. w. F. Frear, W. r
Castle, Doctor Pratt, Father Valentin
Doctor Hc1gins A. w. It. Bottomley
j. A. Rath, Doctor Sinclair and Docto
Hobby.
The $4,000 which is controlled b.
the board of health under legislativ,
appropriation is at present the sole re
sources of the central committee, anC
it is probably that this sum will be ex
pended by them in their advisory eapa
city and a strict accounting rendered
the government. By this means the,
become practically a department of thu
board of health itself in this parttcu
lar.
The last named body has called ;
public meeting to take place in thu
throne room of the capitol this after
noon at three o'clock. This meeting
is for few purposes besides giving thu
public an opportunity to air It's view
on tuberculosis and as in any com
munity the citizens are those upoi
whom the duty falls of looking afte
the victims of the white plague amonl
them, President Mott-Smith wants a
many to attend as possible. A RECORD
of the actions of the central commit
tee yesterday will be presented an'
discussed.
