Tuberculosis Pavilion to be Removed for Site Change

Supt Merle Cowles celebrates the relocation of the tuberculosis pavilion to its new site beside the isolation hospital. The Health Board, at yesterday's meeting, decided to cut the building into three parts and move it along the roadway, not across lots. The Emergency Board logged April as a record month for treatments with 565 patients, 111 ambulance calls, 236 new office applications, and 541 prescriptions filled. Lack of funds blocks a motor driven transfer ambulance, prompting remodeling of the old horse drawn unit. The department's annual report will be presented May 14 for filing with the city fathers the next day.
