192 THE HEALTH BULLETIN J*?" ': FORSYTH COUNT COUNTY SANATORIA Every County Should Have a Tuberculosis Sanatorium. That a county tuberculosis hospital is an absolute necessity is admitted by all persons interested in humanity or economics. Every one who is familiar with the deaths from, and prevalence of, tuberculosis knows that we must prepare to take care of the cases who have no means, as well as those who can pay, and that we must take care of the negro as well as the white. To do this as it ought to be done, all are agreed that every large county should make arrangements to take care of the whites and at least part of the negroes who have tuberculosis, and that the small counties should do the same thing by grouping together in such numbers, say two or three, as may be considered proper. How Best to Go About It. As an answer to that we present the plan adopted by the Forsyth County Board of Health and Board of Commissioners. We present in this issue of the Bulletin a perspective of their buildings, all of which, including steam heat, was built for $14,000. This was intended to accommodate twenty-four patients, twelve white and twelve colored, divided equally between the sexes, but by using the porches for bed rooms, it will accommodate twenty-four of each race, making a total of forty-eight together with rooms for nurses as well. This would probably be large enough for any county to start with. In order to make the running expenses as light as possible and save the expense of buying a site, Forsyth County has built its sanatorium on the same farm as its county home, In that way it gets the benefit of the water, sewer system, and the fruits and vegetables grown there. Financing the Proposition. The Board of County Commissioners ordered the Chairman, Mr. E. T. Mickey, to proceed with the erection of the building, the expense to be met out of their general fund. Any county can do this, and if they find they are in debt they can issue bonds to cover their indebtedness, or if they prefer they can have the people vote on bonds for the purpose of building a county sanatorium. An act making this provision was passed by the 1917 General Assembly, being introduced by Hon. Clem Wright, of Guilford County. Mr. E. T. Mickey, who was Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, when the Forsyth County
