STATE SOCIETY
PROTESTS SITE
FOR HOSPITAL

What is taken to be a protest
against the location of tuberculosis
sanitorium on or adjacent to poor
farm ground or near charitable institu-
tions. was received from the Indiana
Society for the Prevention OF Tubercu-
losis by Miss Mary Kennedy, county
educational nurse
The letter was written Immediately
after county commissioners announc-
ed they would ask county council to
pass special appropriation of $1,000
to purchase 81 acres at s211 an acre
OF the Hill estate near the county farm
west of Centerville
The letter follows:
1T was only yesterday that this So
c1ety, through its executive committee,
resolved that it views with increasing
alarm the tendency of Indiana sanitor-
iums to locate themselves upon the
grounds Of county poor farms or other
charitable institutions.
Predicts Regret Soon.
This resolution is based upon coun-
culosis movement which demonstrates
that societies which take this step u.s.
ually regret it within two or three
years. The whole institution becomes
generally known as charitable insti-
tuition and usually as the county poor
farm instead of the tuberculosis sana-
torium.
"The result is that you do not get
a chance to take pay patients to any
extent, you do not get the large, self
respecting middle class which we
know all tuberculosis associations
wish to serve.
'If the state society can be of any
assistance in corresponding directly
with those having this work in charge,
or in calling upon them so that no
serious mistake of this kind may be
made in selecting the Wayne County
Sanatorium site if it can be avoided,
just let us know.
Arthur ]. Strawson, Executive Sec
retary"
The letter came to Richmond when
Miss Kennedy was attending the anti
tuberculosis conference in Louisville
and she did not receive it until this
morning. Because of the delay, it was
not referred to the county commission
ers, but it probably will be submitted
to the Wayne County Anti-Tuberculo-
sis society.
Not Charity Institutions.
One of the points most emphasized
at the conference of anti-tuberculosis
workers and experts from II states IN
the Mississippi valley last week was
summed up, Miss Kennedy said to-
day in the sentence:
Tuberculosis sanatoriums are not
charitable institutions. Needy persons
with tuberculosis are not paupers.
"In that connection it would be we'll
to look far into the future" said Miss
Kennedy. "The county will have in
the tuberculosis sanatorium means
of revenue which it will draw from all
the surrounding counties. Every coun-
ty with patients for which the Rock
Vile state sanatorium has not room,
will be sent here.
"The pay for those patients will be
$40 a week The county can operate
the sanatorium at profit on the pa
tients, which are sent in from outside
counties. If care were taken in the To-
cation and the reputation Of the sana-
torium were maintained, the county
could render assistance to the eastern
part of the state and create source
of revenue which would aid in cutting
the general maintainence cost OF the
sanatorium."

CITY TAX RATE
7 CENTS LOWER

Contrary to all expectations, the tax
rate for the city of Richmond for 1917
is two cents less than it was for 1916.
The rate as made public by Auditor
Bowman today is $3.50 on the 500;
last year it was 1882.
Because the court house bond levy
of seven cents was laid aside this
year, the rate could be decreased al
though the city levies proper were
several cents higher
Wayne township levy was decreased
from 1922 for 1916 to s2.16 for 1917
There We're no roads built this year
under the Three Mile Road law.

PLAGUE CONTRACTED
DURING CHILDHOOD

is commonly supposed.
ut is essentially disease of child

Valley conference on tuberculosis
which is being held at Louisville, KY
and which is being attended by Miss
Mary Kennedy and Mrs. o. N. Huff.

YEARS FINANCING LARGE
About Three-quarters of a Billion
Went to Foreign Nations

Corporate financing in the United
States in December was nearly up to tho
high record made in February, and
brought the financing for the year above
the billion and half mark. This total
is below that OF previous normal years,
although well above last year. but when
the fact is taken into consideration that
we have financed foreign nations to the
extent of about three-quarters of a bill
lion. this year, as compared with little
or nothing in former years, 1915 is seen
to compare favorably in the amount Of
investment made by the American public
The total for the year was 81, $40, 800 OOO
as compared with 81 l,332. .0OO O00 in 1911 and
81. $50 100000 i'm 1918
December's large total of financing was
traceable to the recapitalization of many
companies, the market conditions being
propitious for selling new securities. Au-
tomoblle companies figured most con-
spicuously in this financing, many of
them having heretofore been under capi-
talized, but all kinds of companies. from
those in the munitions business to mail
