IMPROVEMENTS A T THE TUBERCULOSIS
SANATORIUM HAVE BEEN LONG NEEDED

About year ago funds were solicited
and red cross seals sold for the purpose
Q; improving the conditions at Red Noun
tain tuberculosis sanatorium. The amount
received was insufficient, and delay was
further involved because the wisdom of
improving the camp required test of
the water supply.
Under the guidance of w e. Putnam,
of School & Putnam, engineers, advant-
age was taken of the long summer
drouth to test the capacity of the we'll
This proved satisfactory, and a gasoline
engine was installed, the gift, with in
stallation expense, of Culpepper Exum.
Already a tank, given by the Birming-
ham Railway Light and Power company,
lad been erected, so that for some time
the camp has had good water pipe
system.
a building committee was then formed,
consisting of J. c. Henley, Jr., w. E.
Putnam, Rabbi Newfeld, Mrs. C. M.
Kenyon, Miss K. Malone, Dr. E. NJ.
Mason, DIR. C. Lull, Jacob Sale, and the
secretary Valuable help was also given
by H. A. Lockhart and Julian Kendrick
Plans We're drawn by Mr. Sale and the
sanitary department was referred to Mr..
Putnam. Instead of employing a con-
tractor a working foreman was secured
in the person of j. e. TULIP. The work
has now progressed to the point indicated
in the illustration, showing the two
wards for children, each accommodating
four beds, with dressing rooms.
Besides these a handsome recreation
room is being finished, 40 by 20 feet,
fronting south, and f1anlSed on one side
by nurses room and on the other by
an office. Underneath are heating plant,
laundry. bath rooms ana sanitary offices,
with coal bunker.
A fine open fireplace is at the center of
the north wall of the recreation ROOM
The children's dressing rooms will be
warmed from the steam plant under the
recreation room, as will also a ward for
very advanced cases, to be constructed
below the approach to the camp.
In addition to these features greater
comfort is secured for smeal times by adj
ding windows throughout, in place of the
old awnings, which insufficiently exclud-
ed the severely inclement weather An
open fireplace graces the north end of
the dining room, and in the rear has
been built a commodious kitchen on the
same floor level, with Il service board
connecting, for the convenience of
walters Some improvements are being
| added also to the old pavilion. Under the
kitchen is fine concrete storeroom,
weather and rat proof, a long felt want
The greatest feature OF progress is the
arrangement for sanitation, with the Ash
ley system and sterilization plant For
this purpose a munificent gift of sewer
pipe was made by the Southern Sewer
Pipe company. The Birmingham Stag
company is giving the Stag for the con-
crete bed.
1t should be added that the amount in
hand for these improvements was S325O,
and 1920 in uncollected pledges, most of
| them as good as gold. But necessary
pluming and steam pipe work require
further gifts. The committee, believe that
the public will not compel them to draw
