Has Scheme to Solicit Aid of Labor Unions and Ma
 terial Concerns
WILL BE MODERN
 AND WELL BUILT
Mir. Salie States He Would Help the Other Fellow Help Himself" The Anti-TuberculOsis SO-
 ciety Is Much Pleased

Birmingham can expect the erection oi model tubercuosis camp within the next three months upon the site of the present Red mountain camp, which will compare favorably with those of the larg- est cities of the United States" This an- nouncement was made by J. F. Salie, chief draughtsman of the Joy Construc- ton company of this city, yesterday after moon and is indorsed by the Anti-Tuber- oulosis association of Jefferson county, to- gether with the Womens auxiliary of that organization.
 Mr. Salie is the author of plan which
 is dependent upon the cooperation of the labor unions and local material concerns whereby the new camp is 10 be construct ed This having been accepted by the nti-tuberculoss authorities, the work O. designing the new structure and arrang-
 ing for the remaining essentials will SC forward as rapidly as possible.
 The announced intention of building the administration and recreation halls with the funds derived from the sale of the Red Cross Christmas seals by the Womens auxiliary will be abandoned just now. MT. Salie has kindly offered to en- gineer a substitute for these that will place a more commodious and up to date camp there than the association could finance at present.
 Work to Start Soon
 According to MT. Salie, ground on the new camp will probably be broken ir less than two months and he will begin the drawing of the building plans and specifications as soon as plat of the Rec mountain site has been made by the coun- tv surveyor. He fully expects to see the buildings completed at the end of three months and is counting on the cooper alton of the labor unions and materia men of Birmingham for the finishing o l this proposed instrument for waging wal l against the white plague. The Women'' | auxiliary and the Anti-Tuberculosis as sociation will assist in the movement py | taking care of several minor expenses and it is stated that the majority Of then disbursements will come with the equip ping of the new quarters and house turn ishings of the larger wards.
 "I suggested to the Anti-Tuberculosis association a few weeks ago that be | commissioned to draw up plans of a model camp for their Red mountain location and offered to supervise the finishing of the buildings with as 1t- | tie cost to them as possible,' said MT Salie~ yesterday. "The association Ia
 vored the scheme and in turn intro duced the matter to the women's aux Hilary, who also gave their approval
 with the assistance of the labol union men and the material supply firms, l hope to have the new camI | ready before many months. The labol
 unions have tentatively promised tha' | their aid will come in the form Of
 days work from each man or pc cuniary contribution. l have yet tt
 approach the material men on the sub ject, but believing that the compara' lively small amounts to be requested from each concern will not be refused there ssems little possibility Of tht
 plan failing. Such expenses as tele phone service and hauling will per
 haps be defrayed by the Anti-Tubercu losis association.
