ton Saturday, plans were made for the
building of a large sanitorium below
Covington II the Statae Legislature viii
pass law providing for the ownership
interest by the counties in the site and
building to be used for sanitorium
purposes.
The delegates late Wednesday after
noon visited Fl. Perry in Kenton coun-
ty, where the county has an option on
81 acres of land. The site can be pur-
chased for $12,500. II is a beautiful
spot being 500 feet above the Ohio
River and overlooking all Of TT. Thorn
as, Cincinnati, Newport and Covington.
Trenches used by the Union oldiers to
stave off the invasion Of General Kirby

delegates, reports that it was one Of
the most beautiful places he had ever
visited. This is the site that may be
chosen.

meeting presented a report promising
united support incuring appropria-
lions to maintain the sanitorium. They
offered resolutions providing for the
selection of three delegates from eacp

tarium.

ready to do her share, but though the
sanitarium will not be built for some
time, when the time comes we will be
ready.
