State Homes Survey Reports Expanded Programs and New Tuberculosis Building
The State Board of Control finished the semi annual inspections of state institutions in Des Moines Iowa. Favorable labor and material markets funded an extensive improvement program including painting repairs and a new Oakdale tuberculosis sanitarium building set for completion early next year. The addition will increase capacity and aid those on waiting lists especially children. Cabbage crops failed at most institutions but a kraut stock was prepared at Anamosa. A 6200 barrel flour contract was awarded to Gooch Company at 6.20 per barrel, with delivery included. The Fort Madison chair factory cut output due to weak demand, though it previously paid for prison operations and contributed about 50000 yearly to state finances.
