Last j year there were 15 persons In Klamath county who developed tuberculosis. For every person confined to the state sanitarium : it costs $60 per month. Thirty dollars is paid by the state and $30 is paid by the county. The patient is free from cost except for what clothing is necessary while confined. "But is he free from expense? The average working man makes approximately 621 cents per hour or $26.25 for a 42 hour week. I might also say for one year the average wage earner makes ap proximately $1365. No man working for wages can financial ly afford to spend from one to three years in tuberculosis sanitarium. This is especially true if the victim has dependents.
