COST WILL BE SLIGHT

In all proba bility the present legisla'
turc will be asked TO pass bill proyid-
ing for the establishment ip some near
by rural district OF n state sanitarium
for tuberculosis sufferers. Although the
State Medical association. or the state
board OF health, has not taken official
action in the matter, it is well known
that prominent physicians Individually
favor the movement and are supporting
it.
Tho movement probably had its incep-
ton in the city health department. at
the hands of City Health Commissi Yer
s. G.. Paul, who recently gave out an
interview setting forth many reasons
why Utah should establish aud main
tain such an institution,
In contradiction Of assertions said to
have been made by certain physicians
to the effect that native eases of tu-
berculosis were uDhoard of in Utah, DR.,
Paul said that while this may have
been true in carly days, cases had been
found in Salt Lake since this city had
become larger and more metropolitan.

Conditions Discussed.

DR.. Paul spoke OF conditions that would
give rise to the disease aud showed by
tho records Of the health department
that tuberculosis had caused moro
deaths here last year than the larger
percentage Of other socallcd dangerous
diseases together.
While il is held that tuberculosis
cases hero are directly traceablc to i'm
portations of tho disease, it is argued
that unless some measure OF protection
is provided, native cases would event
uaIly be found In n city as large as
Salt Lake, DIR. Paul said, conditions
become prevalent that make possible a
steady spread of the disease. which,
unless checked by proper methods and
care of sufferers, would probably be-
come as common in its native origina-
tion rs in that of importation.
The establishment of a state sani-
tarium for tuberculosis sufferers, he
said, would mean that all cases would
be treated at the institution, thus pre-
venting infection by association in
public places. and at the same time ben

CITY TAKES STEPS
To AMEND TAX LAW
Want Revision So City Will
Get Remuneration on Prop
erty Sold for Taxes.

Steps TO amend the present special as
sessment law so as to abolish that pro
vision under which property sold by the
county for general taxes Is thereby freed
from the city's claim for special taxes,
are TO be taken Immediately by the city
law department, at the request OF the
city commission.
Under tho present arrangement the city
has no surety OF recovering special taxes
assessed against delinquent property IL
the property is sold for the genera tax.
The purchaser OF such property from tho
county secures Immunity from the spe-
cial tax and the city is out Just that
much. For instance 1t is pointed out.
II certain property Is sold by the county
TO recover an 500 general tax. a. special
tax for such improvements pave
total as high as $3.50, has no standing
and the purchaser OF the land comes into
unencumbered possession.
W, II. Shearnan, city auditor, recent
~ wrote to the attorney general of
Washington for a. copy OF the special as
sessment law of that state, which IL said
TO obviate tho very thing the city com
missioners desire to escape. FTe received
an answer yesterday, together with a
letter explaining the system, The com
munca ton Was turned over to the law

city commission, together with an opin-
ion az TO It's efficacy IL applied to local
conditions.
Tho present special assessment law
will have TO be repealed by the legisla-
ture before the new law can be enacted.
The latter provides that puroha scrs OF
property sold for general taxes are labic
TO the city for any special taxes that
may be standing against the property.
Such liability can be complied with by
payment of the special axes, less the
accrued Interest, or py allowing the
property TO continue under the encum-
orslncc Of the special tax.
