FAIRFIELD
Much Interest Aroused by the
Possibility of the Purchase
of the Chase Memorial
Sanitorium by State
MANY INTERESTING To-
AIS AND PERSONALS

are watching with interest for the decis-
ion Of the trustees Of the State tubercu-
losis sanitoria in regard to purchasing
the Chase Memorial sanatorium. The re-
cent visit Of that body to consider the
taking over Of a sanatorium at Bangor
almost proved that the institution con-
Quoted in that city by the Bangor Anti
tuberculosis Association would not be
considered in the purchase. The visitors
expressed themselves as being displeased
with two of the main essentials OF such
q place, namely. the water supply and
the sewerage. By putting the possible
purchase of the Bangor sanatorium SO
far in the rear the possibilities or the
Fairfield buildings being bought by the
State become brighter.
One of the trustees when approached
Monday afternoon by the Journal repre-
sentative on the question of purchasing
the Chase Memorial sanatorium by the
State replied that nothing definite would
be known in regard to the matter until
the last of the week. Then a meeting of
the board would be held either in Water
vile or at Portland An appraiser will
60 over the buildings and outbuildings OF
the sanatorium Tuesday for the purpose
Of obtaining an inventory. At the meet
ing OF the body the inventory will be
gone over and the advisability Of the
purchase will then be decided. Il am
very much in favor OF purchasing the
Fairfield sanatorium, and l think that
the rest of the members of the board
are Of the same opinion replied the
trustee in answer to the reporters query
