TUBERCULOSIS COMMISSION
FACES BIG WAITING LIST
Regular Weekly Meeting Was Held en-
Monday at Sanaterium Here.


The weekly meeting OF the tuber-
culosis commission was held Monday
at the Norwich Sanatortum instead Of
as usual at the capitol In Hartford.
The commission Is confronted with a
condition which prevents II from
meeting the demands OF the state for
accommodation in the different sana-
sol patients in the four institutions,
and a large waiting list. There are
only nve vacancies in the mems In.
flrmaries and none In the women's.
There are twenty-four vacancies In
the mems shacks and none in the
women'&
There are no vacancies in the in
but there are twelve In the mems
shAcks and one in the women'S
The maximum number for which
the tnfirmarteS and the shacks pro-
vide is S66, The infirmaries are for
advanced or bed cases and IL is there
that there is an tnsufficiency OF &C
commodatton. In some instances IL
has been found necessary to remove
bed cases to the shacks where they
are attended to under difficulties
which do not exist in the infirmary
buildings. When in the shacks the
bed cases require extra nurse attend
ance and this involves an expense
which would not be incurred IL the
patients were kept in the infirmaries
This condition OF inadequate &C
QunmodAtion was foreseen by the
members of the commission at the
last session OF the general assembly
when they asked for $4,000 to COM
plete the infirmary at Shelton. The
committee on appropriations denied
sum. to what was needed for main
tenance.
