Huntersville, June 13—The Mecklenburg County Tuberculosis Sanitorium will open about the middle of July. It is understood here after a survey of the plant by R. Neal Hood, chairman of the Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners this week.
The hospital is practically ready for occupancy now, it was explained by Mr. Hood, but because of the inadequacy thus far of the water supply the opening will necessarily be postponed until water is secured. Already three drilled wells have failed to provide enough water, and the fourth is being drilled. All four it is planned will be hooked together, and it is thought that they will furnish approximately 30 gallons a minute.
A carload of furniture from a Wisconsin manufacturer arrived here this week and it has been placed in the hospital. It is of metallic construction throughout and is especially designed for hospital use.
