IMPROVING SANATORIUM
Eztensive Additional Being Mode and
Effectiveness Largely Increased
Randolph, Aug. 20 An cxtensivo nd
iltiori' is now being made to tho Randolph
Banatorium, which in tho last four ycars
has outgrown its original quarters a"con
vcrtcd privato rcsidencc of three storics,
that lcnt itsclf rcndily to hospital altera
tions. It had, aside from operating room,
oflicc, cuisine, ctc, nccommodations for
fiftcen patients.and during thc las. ycar
was oftcn uncomfortably crowdcd.
A two-story nddition, 30 by 20 fcct,
brick veneer, is being built at the rear of
tho main part and will have on thc first
floor a dining room for tho nurses, a largc
room for tho head nursc, a kitchcn 'so
locatcd that its odors cannot pcnctrato the
rest of tho houso, and a cold storagc place
that will pcrmit of buying supplics in the
bulk. On thc sccond floor will bo a larger
and bctter cquippcd operating room nnd a
modcrn stcrilizing room. Thc addition
will nlso contain two rooms for matcrnity
cases and chambcrs for the domcstic forco,
The present operating room is to be mndc
into an oflicc nnd thcre will be scvcral
inore private rooms for paticnts.
Tlie addition will cost about ?3,500
cxclusive of the clcvator, thc cquipmcnt
of the operating room nnd thc stcrilizing
room, tile flooring, heating and lighting
arrancements. Col. A. B. Chandlcr, of
Brooklyn, N. Y., a nativc of Randolph,
gcncrously contributes 31,000 towards the
expcnsc,' thcre is S2,C00 in thc trcasury
of thc sanatorinm availablo for such n
purposc and thc balancc must bo raiscd by
subscription, mortgagc or loan. Tho
addition is to be completed rcady for use
by the middlo of thc coming October, nnd
when finally finished will cost at lcast
S5,000.
This sanatorium has had an unusual
expericnce for a hospital in that it has
dcmonstrated it is possible for such an
institution to bc not only sclf-supportmg,
but to gathcr a rcspectablc surplus
Largely through the cfforts of Colonel
Chandlcr, the sanatorium was organized
April 17, 1905, as a corporation with a
capital stock of S7,500, divided into shares
of S25 each, in order that pcople of mod
crate means might bccomc stockholders
and have a person 1 intcrcst in its
wclfarc, thc stock being non- assessable
and paying no dividcnds. In the follow
ing July the capital stock was raiscd to
310,000, a largc brick housc was pur-
cliased for 35,000 and tlic nccessary
rcmodeling done. In making the re
pairs a debt of $1,500 was contracted and
this, on account of n small number of
paticnts and too lieavy running expcnses,
increased to S2,000. In Septcmber of
1007, the outlook was so dark that the
board of dircctors voted to close thc
the institution. When this becamc know
the townspeople, cspecially thc womcn,
rallied to the sanatorium's support.
Housekeepers wcre of tlie opinion that
greater cconomy could be practiccd with
good results in running the hospital, and
W. II. Gladding, a former Barre druggist,
was pcrsuaded to act as superintendent for
three months. Mr. Gladding cut off
some needles expenditures and in
stalled a system of management that was
imincdiately effcctive. Thc co-operation
of the town doctors was securcd, each
agreeing to serve as medical director dur
ing an cqual part of the year, nnd they
formed also an advisory board of doctors
in tho nearby towns.
Slowly tho sanatorium regained its
feet nnd now stands so firmly that at thc
last rcgular meeting of the stockholders it
was found to have clearod in tho quartcr
just cndcd $1,200 ovcr and above all ex
pcnses and to have a surplus of $2,G00
available for repairs. Much credit for 60
satisfactory a finaiicial condition should
be given to tlic head nurse, Mrs. J. P.
Gifford, latcly rcsigned, who was an cx-
cellcnt manager.
From April V, 1908, to April 1, 1009, tho
sanatorium had 09 paticnts, thc largcst
number in any ycar of its history 37
medical cases, 50 surgical,12 obstctrical
and only two dcaths occurred.

Bennington Court House and JailUnquali-
fiedly Blackballed by State Board of
Health Necessity of Either New Struc-
ture or New Improvements.
Bennington, Aug. 20 The Bennington
County Building, comprising tho Court
House nnd Jail,has been unqualificdly con
demned by the State Board of Health,
which recommends that its place be taken
by a new strueture locatcd on a site which
will permit thc rcmcdying of the many un
sanitary conditions whicli the Board found
to exist in thc present quarters at the time
of a rcccnt inspcction.
Tho visit of tlie Board to Bennington at
tho requcst of tho local Health officcr, II.
L. Stillson, who has for some timo main
taincd that the building was in an unsani
tnry condition, has again brought tho prob
lem of new county quarters beforo the
votcrs. At the last session of the Lcgis
lature a bill was passed providing for the
building of a new Court Housc and Jail
and for thc repairs of thc Court Housc and
Jail at Manchester, but the referendum
proviso of the bill was dcfeated by a large
majority at the March elections. Thc
votcrs of towns in the north end of the
county realizing that the building of a new
CourtJUouso at Bennington would ulti
mately result in the abolition of the north
shiroand thc transferof all Court business
to Bennington, voted solidly ngainsttho
bill.
Bclieving that tho Court House would
ultimately be replaced by a new strueture
thc county officials havc not been disposed
to cxpend the nmount of money that
would bo required to place the present
quarters in proper condition and the re
sult is a stato of affairs which the State
Board in its rcport describes asa"sanitary
crime."
While tho plumbing of tho cntire build
ing is condcmned as old and unsafe, it is
the Jail that comes in for the hardcst
knocks at tho hands of tho Board. Tho dim
liglit, absencc of sunlight, with no pro-
vision for tho introduction of frcsh mr or
tho removing of foul, with no vcntilation
at all in the crowded cells creates a com-
binatiou of conditions that call sfor im-
mediato changc.
"This Jail," says tho rcport, "was np
parcntly plnnncd to nccommodato at most
Bovcii prisoncrs. Wo nro told by tho pres
cnt shcriff that ho hns had at times scvcn
tcen prisoncrs, nnd as many ns tcn or
