William Timmerwilke for

The city has purchased from Will
liam Timmerwilke a site for the
municipal tuberculosis sanatorium for
the sum of $4,000. 1t is located be-
tween Thirteenth and Fifteenth ave-
nue. and Twenty-sixth and Twenty
ninth streets. and there are 7.72 acres
in the tract The deal was made
through Eckhart & Buffum.
Several years ago when George w.
McCaskrin was mayor of the city,
the people voted an annual tax levy
of one mill for a municipal sanator-
ium. A medical commission composed
of Dr. j. B. De Silva, DR.. ]. E Lach-
ner and DIR. Louis Ostrom was named
to manage the business affairs of t..
new institution. Great difficulty, how
ever, was experienced in securing a
site a location selected in he east
end of town was rejected by the city
commission, following vigorous protest
from residents in that locality and a
second site was sold out from under
the commission. The money for the
third, however, has been paid, and the
transfer has been made.
