Out Of nearly $50. OOO. 900 spent last

In the United States. 69.3 per cent OF

day. The statement Is based largely
on actual reports received from anti
tuberculosis agencies throughout the
country. but where reports We're avail
able. the figures have been estimated.

hospitals of the county and the con-
structlon OF such Institutions cost over

care OF patients in ~dispensaries and
open-alr schools cost about $3.50. 600.
Anti-tuberculosis associations and
Committees spent nearly $3.50 in
furthering their work of organization
and eC'lcation. while state and local
boards of health and special tubercu-
losis commissions spent over $3.50. 900.
More than $l3.S00. 900 or 69.3 per
cent OF the total expenditures came
from public funds. The National AS

Since 1903 the percentage OF Jublic
money spent I'm tuberculosis work has
increased from $50 to nearly 20 per
cent.
New York state spent more money
in tuberculosis work than anv two
