ut is extremely gratifying to be
able to report a further decline In
the death rate from tuberculosis in
this city. 1t was feared that the
drop in 1933-34 from 81 to Il was
due to unusual circumstances that
would not be in evidence in 1885.
However, the rate for that year
continued at II and the number of
deaths in 1886 Is &c."

During the past two years the
manager has emphasized the need
Of speedy and thorough examin-
ations Of all possible contacts and
the value Of providing light work
as part of the after-care treatment
for patients when they leave the
sanatoria. This year, he would like
to add the thought that we strive
for 100 per cent examination Of all
contacts. This is difficult goal to
attain as it involves many types of
personalities, who frequently cannot
understand the necessity Of x-rays
and examinations as well as the
practice Of certain precautions
which are absolutely needed in a
