TUBERCULOSIS HOSPITAL IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.
The actual opening of the new municipal Tuberculosis hospital, on Leech farm, took place today with the admittance of eight patients. Dr. H. B. Burns, superintendent of the bureau of infectious diseases said today:
"We have at least 100 more applications for admission to the new hospital and applicants will be taken care of as soon as possible. We have an automobile running from Frankstown ave. and Washington blvd. to carry patients and friends to the hospital. An automobile bus line will be in operation shortly for that purpose."
