Whereas, it has been brought to
the attention Of the Town Council OF
the Town of Vaudeville that it IL
contemplated by the State Board Of
Health and other parties in interest
to change Camp Hygeia from white
to a colored sanitarium for the pur-
pose of caring for tubercular pa
tents:
Whereas, realizing that st. Tam
many parish has been seriously In
jured and its growth retarded on &C
count of its being advertised az
resort for tubercular people.
Whereas, St. Tammany parish is
always willing to do her full duty to
alleviate suffering humanity. yet
they believe that in simple justice
that this colored sanitarium for the
care of tubercular people should DC
| located in some other section OF the
State, as they have already In the
past and will in the future continue
| to take care OF their full quota OF
| these invalids;
| Be it resolved, That we earnestly
| protest against the establishment OF
a negro camp for the care of tuber-
cular people in this parish, and that
a copy Of this resolution be trans
mitted to DIR. Oscar Bowling, Presi-
dent of the State Board Of Health;
DR.. M. w. Swords, Secretary Tuber-
culosis Committee, and the Presi-
dent Of Anti-Tuberculosis League.
