following communication to Capt. 8.
It. Boyd, chairman of the house com-
mittee on finance, this morning:
"I beg to state to you for the infor-
mation of your committee that this
state has wit'/n Its borders in South-
east Texas a case of leprosy* The
county In which It is located le una-
ble to properly care for and Isolate
this case, and my opinion is that un-
less a proper lazaretto Is prepared
and proper quarantine maintained now
when It might be possible to prevent
Its communication to other*, our state
will become permanently infected
with this loathsome and Incurable
malady. This department will not be
able to purchase and equip a suitable
home for this case and employ neces-
sary nurse and guards unless a special
appropriation is made. To do this I
estimate that It will cost $8000 for tie
first year and $6000 a year thereafter.
1 respectfully request that your hon-
orable committee Include this amount
in your appropriation.’’
Tho finance committee will intro*
ducc n separate bill to make an imme-
diate appropriation for this purpose.
The county where the case Is locat-
ed is Liberty county. The person re-
ferred tp I* a woman of Arcadian de-
scent, and has been cared for by the
county for the past several months.
