Mayfield Visits State
Hospital at Kearney
Kearney, Neb., April 19. (Special.)
Chairman E. O. Mayfield of the
state board, of control spent Wednes
day in Kearney on an -Inspection tour
of the state buildings and grounds
here. He was favorably impressed
with the finding, but realized after a
trip, through, the state hospital for
tuberculosis patients that many im
provements there would not come
amiss and that some of them were an
immediate need. The installation of
sun porches, one for the men's and
one for the women's ward rooms is
advocated by the7 board chairman,
these being needed to give the pa
tients some fresh air and sunshine
which are so essential to their recov
ery. The quarters for the hospital
help were also found to be inadequate
and alterations as needed will he
made here. The upper floor of the
administration building will be re
modeled to meet the needs of the help
or a cottage adjoining the state
grounds will be purchased for their
use.
