of the Association of Commerce of

1t was moved by Mr.. Harvey E.
Ellis and seconded by Mr.. Fred. J.
Heintz, that,
Whereas, it has been brought to
the attention of this Association that
it is contemplated by the State Board
of Health and other parties in in
terest to change Camp Hygeia from
a white to a colored sanitarium for
the purpose Of caring for tubercular
patients.
Whereas, realizing that st. Tam
many parish has been seriously in
jured and it's growth retarded an
account of its being advertised as a
resort for tubercular people.
Whereas, st. Tammany parish is
always wiling 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 be locat-
ed 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 In
valids.'
Be it resolved, That we earnestly
protest against the establishment OF
a negro camp for the care of tubercu-
Lar people in this parish, and that
copy of this resolution be transmit
ed to DR.. Oscar Bowling, president
of State Board of Health; DR.. M. w.
Swords, secretary Of Tuberculosis
Committee, and the president of the
Anti-Tuberculosis League.
