50 patients. Ilenryton cares for about 160 patients, all colored.
The State’s program for the hospitalization of tubercular patients
has been practically completed, and is expected to meet the demands
of at least a number of years. The facilities are among the finest in
the country, and are recognized everywhere as combining economy in
operation and excellence in treatment.
The death rate from tuberculosis has decreased from 165.8 per
100,000 population in 1919 to 90.2 in 1930. Among white people the
death rate was reduced from 150.8 in 1917 to 59. The colored death
rate was reduced from 413.6 to 240 and now over one-half of the
deaths from tuberculosis are among colored people which represents
only one sixth of our population.

Dr. C. D. Steenken, Superintendent.
Chapter 129 of the Acts of 1927 abolished the Eastern Shore Tu-
berculosis Sanatorium Commission, transferring its powers, etc. to the
