Although the survey Of the past
years anti-tuberculosis work shows
that much has been done, the reports
from all parts of the country indicate
that this year the amount Of money to
be expended, and the actual number
Of patients that will be treated will be
more than double that of the past
year. For instance. special appropria.
lions have been made in the varioua
municipalities for next years anti
tuberculosis work. aggregating $3.s7e.
500. In addition to these appropria-
lions over 100000 has been set
aside BY the different state legisla-
