Now An Isolation Hospital

New Britain authorities have already acted on the suggestion that the city provide a home or hospital which would accommodate tubercular patients await ing entrance to state sanatoria. site was recently inspected by group Of officials and declared to be suitable for the proposed institution. If New Bri- tain goes through with this plan, it will probably be the only city in the state now to afford such home. Waterbury at one time boasted one in it's unused iso- laton hospital, but funds ran out for it's maintenance and it remains completely unused right now.
 Which brings us to the point at hand. Following close on the heels of the announcement that waiting station for tubercular sufferers would be provided comes a request from Dr. Louis J. Du- mont, City Health Officer that an iso- lation hospital be built. This was con- tained in one of three recommendations that the Health Department made to the city fathers. The other two were relat- ing to the tubercular waiting station, and the last was a plea for municipal collec- tion of refuse. At the present time the City of New Britain relies on Hartford to care for it's patients requiring isolation.
 At one time the need for an isolation hospital in Waterbury was declared to I,e so great that costly structure was built on Watertown avenue It has never been used for the purpose intended. We don't see why it shouldn't be offered to New Britain as it has been to the state for any such purpose as relates to com nunity health. We evidently haven't needed such an institution here in good many years We wonder that New Bri- tain, smaller city, feels the need of one.
