Whether to build sanitarium for
care of the tubercular in Rock county
is now debated. A site has been ac-
CURED near GAINESVILLE, but the cost of
building, estimated at $3.50, 900, is furn-
ishing material for discussion. Miss
Luetcher, the county nurse, states that
there are at least 40 persons in the
county in need of sanitarium treatment;
she is Of the opinion that it will cost
the county less to place its patients
in the Jefferson county sanitarium or

in the home county and the chance of
stopping the spread of the disease are
items to be considered, rather than the
cost. The county now spends from
So, 900 to Sc, 200 annually for Z. B. pa
tients in care of other sanitariums.
