Especial TO the Star-lndcpendent.)
Hamburg, Pa, Oct. 26.-To- day the
doors of the State S third great tubercu-
losis sanatorium were opened to the
patients. The magnificent institution
which has been in, the course of con
struction for the last year crowns the
hilltop mile outside of Hamburg Dor.
oLgh and commands a magnificent view
of the Schuylkill valley for miles in
every direction.
1bp institution was inspected on Sat.
urday by Governor Tener and DIR. Sam.
uel Il. Dixon, Commissioner of Health,
under whose direction it was planned
and constructed.
The enormous demand and need for
sanatorium treatment by the ten thou
sand patients now being treated in the
State tuberculosis dispensaries has
made the construction OF this new in
stitution necessary. There are thou
sand sufferers on the waiting list in ad-
dition to the eleven hundred an dfifty
patients being ca-el 10; ct the Mont
Alto sanatorium and the four hundred
in the institution at CrtSscn. Five hun
1red and fifty can lie accommodated in
the new sanatorium which has been
provided with every possible facility
for the comfort and ST ebt tifir treatment
of the sufferers from the dreaded dis
case. .........
The general architectural treatment
of the buildings is in the mission style.
They are constructed of hollow tile and
concrete. The administration buildings
occupy the center of the group and
form a Greek cross which is fanked on
either side by great ward buildings
which are connected with the admins
tration buildings by covered and glass
enclosed passageways. At either end of
the wards are glass protected solaria.
An ingenious arrangement of the
wards permits the care of either ad-
vaneed or incipient cases as the demand
may dictate. The roofs of the wards,
some $4,000 square feet in area, have
been paved to permit patients to enjoy
rest recreation in the open air without
leaving the buildings. The buildings
are so arranged as to provide the max
ilnum amount of sun light and air.
Beautiful views in every direction
are obtainable from the institution,
owing to its commanding location. The
grounds surrounding the sanatorium
comprise some three hundred and
eleven acres, the greater part of which
is under cultivation and will supply
much of the poultry, eggs and vege.
tables required.
