 ''Tu 5ercuios3s remains the 1cozt important single communicable di- ease with which we have to deal This is Illustrated by the fact tha: there were 270 reported cases and t5- deaths from tuberculosis in tnls .ii last year It is known that ~a every death there are ten active eases so that Bridgeport has 1770 actTEa cases, only 270 Of which were report ed. It will be impossible for us ta control this disease until We have s more intensive cooperative mova- ment against it. This requires pIh- lie and private funds.
