offer would be accepted.
Building Nest Egg
The county's SIS, 900 bid for the
property would give the sanitarium
board a nest egg which is earmark-

In a speech before the county
board yesterday, DR.. VESSEL pledg-
ed that funds raised by the sale
would be devoted solely to the
prevention and treatment of tuber-

County officials are known to be
studying the santarium project as
a possible subject for federal aid
under the recently-adopted U. S.
law to assist local governing agen-
