ing the establishing of tubercular

health officer. DIR. ]. p. Rosenwald,
county physician, Nand DIR. ]. w.
Andrews, all attended the meeting.
DR.. Bracken first explained the
law providing for the establishing
OF sanatoriums, that the state pays
half Of the expense and the county
pays half Then he also explained a
law which Is not so familiar to the
people of the state. and which pro-
vides that the county must pay half
the expense Of caring for tubercular
patients, whether there is a sana.
forum or not, and II there is no
county sanatorium the township or
village In which the patient lives
must pay the other half OF the
expense. This OF course throws the
entire expense OF the care upon the
people of the county. Fl

UP to the present time the state
board Of health has not pushed. the
law making this provision especially,
but It is now starting on campaign.

some. length to the commissioners,

talk the. matter over among them
selves before making any decision in

must look after the tuberculosis stu.
alton in the county even IL II had
