The tuberculosis Sanato-
rum TO Be Rebuilt.
The Public Asked 10 Contribute
The Sum Of $4,000.
Personals and Local Items Gather
ed from About the Town.

1t was decided. Tuesday afternoon,
at a meeting of the Central Maine
nti-Tuberculosis Association to be-
gin as soon as possible to rebuild the
sanatorum on Emery hill, in Fair
field, provided the necessary funds
can be secured.
The buildings were fairly well COW
cred by insurance, but the amount of
the insurance will fall short of the
sum required to rebuild by consid-
cradle margin. Excellent work was
being done in the old buildings, but
they were not large enough to ac-
commodate all the patients who were
APPLYING for admission. 1t was only
a few months since these buildings
were ready for the reception of pa
tients and already there was a wait
ing list. The reasons for this sue
cess are chiefly the remarkable loca-
ton of the sanatorium and the low
rates charged in comparison with
other sanatoria.
In view of the complete loss of the
buildings, and in view also of the
demand for treatment of people from
every section of the State, who can
not afford to meet the higher rates
of other sanatoria, the Central Maine
Association has de-
cided that, if the sanatorium is to be
rebuilt at ALL it should be rebuilt on
large and broader scale in order to
accommodate the increasing number
of applicants for admission. To do
this requires money--more money
than the association has at present
at its disposal. -
The additional sum required is esti-
mated at about $4,000 An opportunity
is therefore extended to the public
of the State to eontribut to the re-
building of this institution. whose
sole aim is to bring back to health
as many people as it's facilities will
permit.
Temporary quarters have been pro-
vided in Fairfield, through the gen
erous aid of friends, where the pa
tients will be cared for until more
suitable quarters can be prepared.
Contributions will be received by
Rev. l.. l.. Lewis, Fairfield. Me.
