EAST LYME LETTER
 ON PROPERTY EXCHANGE Sent to State Tuberculosis Commission Contained No Definite Proposition.

A letter was received Monday by the state tuberculosis commission from First Selectman BeckWith and Judge Bush of East Lyme on the matter of an exchange of properties in the town so as to save the property which the commission recently bought at Crescent Beach flor s12.OOo from being turned into seaside san 6Iren suffering from tuberculosis of the bone. The letter did not con tain any definite proposition as to the property to be exchanged. nor was it quite clear that the town had control of property which it could exchange.
 The revival of the matter has sug- gested the question as to whether the town authorities of East Lycme, even with the sanction of the voters had power to buy property for the purpose of exchange. It is held that they are limited in powers of pIr- chase to property which is needed for town. purposes.
 The commission has not departed from it's former position to entertain any proposal for an exchange of properties that would secure for the purposes of the commission just as well as the property that has been secured at Crescent Beach. Up to the present time such a proposal has not been made to the commits sion. It is expected that the com mission will soon begin the work ot making changes in the interior oi the Crescent Beach property tc make it suitable for patients and ! nurses. One of the important l changes will be the equipment oi l the, buildings.
