AT the meeting of the tuberculosis
commission in the capitol at Hartford
Monday arrangements were made for

patients in the state institutions. This
number is within sc of their aggregate
bed capacity. There are no Vactnt beds
in the infirmaries. The commission is
not able at present to take another in
Urinary patient. The infirrnaries are
for the exclusive use of advanced cases
and the patients given treatment are in

sembly for increasing the infirmary ac-
commodation in the tuberculosis insti-
tutions will prevent the commission
from taking care of more patients than
their present accommodations will al
