Of County Home Modernizing Needed Through- out , Inspector Says Administrative Conditions Found \Generally Good\ — Buildings Are Fire Traps—New Plumbing Needed AN additional . reminder to the ** board of supervisors to the effect; that the Suffolk County home and in- firmary at Yap hank constitute a fire trap is contained in a report from the Department of Social welfare and based on a recent general inspection of the buildings. Dr. David W. Park , who inspected the buildings , also urg- es the employment of orderlies in tho. men ' s ward who have more experi- ence and are better able to assume responsibility. In other respects , the report states , the administrative con- ditions are good. \Much modernizing is needed throughout , and the provision of modern fireproof buildings would bo- far more satisfactory and in the lonji run , more economical , \ Doctor Park states. In this connection it is noted the supervisors have already approv- ed , as work relief projects , the con- struction of a new home and infirm- ary along modern lines. The report goes on to state: \There have been no special chang- es as efforts are being made to secure a new plant , \ the • report reatlb. \Painting and renovation has contin- ued. The buildings are old and ncn- fireproof. The proposed new p lant is very desirable. Administrative con- ditions appeared generally good ex- cept in the larger male infirm aiy ward. \The buildings are old and of frame construction , so that the danger from fire is always present.

In these days when institutions of all kinds are being forced to curtail their activi- ties , it is heartening to know of one that is spreading out and increasing the scope of its work . Half of the expenses of the sanatorium are paid by the stat e of New York , under the County Health department , but the institution is wholly a county one and is open only to residents of Suffolk county. The two new buildings—the Mar- shall Memorial buildings and the Ross building—are on a hill north of the original -buildings and are about 250 feet above sea level. On clear days there is a view of both Long Island sound and Great South bay, and . in ordinary weather there is al- ways a restful expanse of green tree tops and open sky to look at. Along the drives aha \ around the red brick buildings , trees have been set out— tall cedar which form a pleasing- background , and which might always have been there. (The labor of planting was done by the Work Divi- sion of . - Suffolk County Temporary Emergency Relief administration \ of the stat e of New York.) The Mar-shall Memorial building, which is name d for Dr. Joseph H* . Marshall , who was on the sanatorium board since its beginning and who died two years ago , is to be the chil- dren ' s home and their former wood- en structure (built in 1916) is to be remodeled into quarters for help . Dr. Edwin P. Kolb , the able super- intendent of the sanatorium , hopes that the children may move in this week or next , but school is going to start in the new quarters today, whether the moving has been accom- plished or not. The sanatorium is a separate school district , under the supervi- sion of District Superintendent Ros- coe C. Craft , arid includes eight grades which are conducted by two teachers . The regular curriculum is followed , and the pupils ' rating i.s comparable to any other grade school —in fact many of them have been outstanding when placed in other schools. The only difference hi the schedule in . the sanatorium is that there is a rest period of an hour and (Continued on page 7) Town Delays Purchase of Lot Near Holtsville Board Finds Easement Had Been Previously Granted i Considerable Sand Has Alread y Been Taken from Site But Purchase Will Be Held Up Temporarily TriE plan of the Brookhaven town • •*¦ board to purchase a large piece of land on Morris avenue in Holtsville to be used as a sand supp ly source has been temporarily delayed hy the discovery of the fact that an ease- ment over the property has previous- ly been granted to the Long Islan d Lighting company.
