Resolutions.
Il. That we recommend that the
money heretofore raised by taxation,
pursuant to the provisions of chapter
So of the 1919 session laws. for the
erection of two tuberculosis hospitals
in the state of Idaho, be kept intact
as a special fund for the purpose of
combating tuberculosis by such means
as the Legislature shall hereafter de-
termine and that we emphatically
protest against this fund being di-
verified into the general fund, or into
any other fund not available for com
batting tuberculosis
"2 That we recommend that the
law be modified to provide for the
erection of but one tuberculosis hos
pital in the state for the present at
least That such hospital be as CEN
trally located as practical but that
the principal consideration in select
ing such location be its suitability
from scientific standpoint for the
purpose intended.
20. That we favor in the main. the
form of management and the method
of receiving patients provided in said
chapter SIS. but earnestly recommend
that any form of management that
may be adopted be removed as far
from political influence as can be done
without sacrificing strict supervision
and summary accountability.
a. That copies of this resolution
be forwarded forthwith by the secre-
tary TO the senator and representa-
tives from Shoshone county in the
Idaho legislature"

NJ. A. Corner thought if the city is r
ing to bond. it should do so on

provide a municipal building such tn
the city requires, and felt that it NJ
'uld be a great mistake to erect in

Judge DeLOng city clerk and police of
igistrate, agreed with this view. He We
attended that the city should pro- so,
