Lee county will not build tuber-
culosis hospital this year for the care
Of its INDECENT tubercular patients.
This decision was communicated to
the comittee from the Visiting Nurse
association yesterday. by the chair
man OF the board Of supervisors. The
reason given was that the county did
not have the money. 1t was said an
attempt would be made to get bill
through the legislature this winter
providing for an additional tax levy,
and that then, perhaps, the hospital
might be considered.
The question OF hospital for indi-
gent tubercular patients In Lee county
has been agitated for more than
year. The Visiting Nurse association
took up the proposition. and with the
cooperation Of the health and hygiene
committee OF the Industrial associa-
ton. and others interested. brought
about several conferences with the
supervisors.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1s.-George Crylfe,
fireman on a narrow gauge division
of the Denver and Rio Grande rail-
road, gave the federal board Of arbi-
tration a few thrills today when he
testified in the hearing into the merits
of demands made by western railroad
employees upon the western railroads.
CryIie said he works on an engine
that runs over the Marshall pass IN
the Rockies and that his experiences
are enough to make his hair stand on
end. A pull up an elevation of 1885
feet above sea level is so steep that
frequently three narrow gauge en-
gines are used, he said. About once
a month, trains break away and go

ing up behind"
Crylfe also told of the dangers from
rock slides. He recalled one instance.

the board did not feel that it had the
money to spend. The county was al

it was claimed, was not bringing IN
enough money to pay the debts. Mr.
Scheffler told the committee, however,
that If bill could be passed chang

of the sort could be attempted.

The board of supervisors has a
right under the law, to levy $1,000
without the vote of the people, for
certain things. The proposed tuber'

within the scope Of this law. The
board was asked to appropriate the
money. 1t was pointed out where
littla over half this amount would be
