Inna :0 1... ! ..m_-1 lhn (mm-| l pncvnuunng Prior to I938 it had cost the Coun-' ty $10.50 per week for each non- pay person in a sanatorium. half or which cost was charged back to the local municipality. and the government contributed seventy- [ive cents per day per person. This inhibited all control of t.he disease for three reasons, namely. that` people didn't want to become pub- llc charges and so delayed cntranc._ to a sanatorium until the disease had become incurable. and in the` meantime passed the disease on to other members of the family: some municipalities could meet the cost of hospitalization far its tuber- eular patients and some municipal- ities deliberately tried to evade the statutory responsibilities. The new legislation which relieved the mun- icipalities of maintenance costs of its tubercular patients placed on them the lesser responsibility of looking after the patients after they were discharged from a sanatorium. which meant a cost. over the Pro-i vince. of less than ten per cent. of the t`ormer maintenance charges. The result of this new legislation had resulted in earlier admission to a sanz-torium of patients, follow- ing discovery of the clisease: an earlier discharge and fewer pat-I ients were returning for treatment because of breakdown` The new letzislatioli provitletl a more 1.-quit-l able system. 1 .'.r H... -..-hi.-.A I`;-nilitin:l 1 i l Institutes Make Several Grants For VVar Workj Muir .~_y.wu:n:. .

Dr. 3 Brink said that in the past tv-Jo 3 years over four hundred additional 1* beds had come into use. and 1 the past five years the Government ( had given aver $750,000 for beds: alnne. ., Adequate cliagnurztic facilities and ;_ 'treatment [acilitic_s were the chief '~ fuctors in the control of the di.-:- ( case. said Dr. Brink. Whereas in~i 1930 the ratio of beds to death:-' h-id 1 been L5. now there were 3.3 beds i `in every death from the disease] and the death rate had dmpped|l train a high of t il'ty-two per hun- l (il'(`.d thziusancl in 28.9. Six hundred i more patients were trzzated last i year than in any I`ull hospital year ; under the old system of treatment. 1 Becluse cl lne earlier admission to l . after the discovery of < disease. which meant that the dia- eaxe was sooner brought under eon- a [mi and a patient wrs able ti, h discharged in a >`i1'.)l'(C1' period ul; time. it had meant r.hat-ijhure beds were available and i*l"\L`r(1L`(fup:In(._\ uf sana`.m'lum beds had been liiglwr than ever before. Fewer patients had to return also because or pro- pcr care after their cliseluirge.
