Beckley Chamber Adopts Drive for Rutherford Sanitarium Unit
Directors urged a legislative appropriation for a second Rutherford sanitarium unit and formed a special committee to press for an early decision on a federal building site with a court room if possible. They opposed a wage garnishment bill and noted a 50 cent monthly surcharge for new telephone instruments under tariff rules. The committee was told to contact state and district representatives and federal officials to hasten the Beckley building project.
