The Meriden section requests a separate assembly space that could also serve as a school, a playground, and equipment for an authorized children’s building. The lower half moves on to Norwich and Shelton; those sections are not Undercliff.

20 STATE OF CONNECTICUT. toria to have these and similar entertainments given in a proper assembly hall than in the general dining room. The Meriden Sanatorium has a special claim to make in the matter of the need of a recreation building. As Mer- iden, in the future, will have only children patients, it will be necessary to have some proper place apart from the dormitory buildings where such children as are able may go to school. A new assembly hall of some kind would fill all the school needs of the institution. If the General Assembly sees fit to authorize us to carry out this program of recreation halls, we will need $12,500 for Meriden and $10,000 each for Hartford and Norwich. Other of the Meriden Sanatorium needs are $1,500 for outfitting a playground, and $10,000 for the equipment of the new children's building already authorized. THE NORWICH SANATORIUM.

The special construction demands of the Norwich San- atorium for the next two years are not many ; $2,500 for enlarging the old farm house in order to better accommo- date the help and make it possible to employ as an assist- ant, a married physcian ; $4,000 for an enlargement of the kitchen with a bake room. The question of recreation hall and heliotheraphy platform we have already dis- cussed. THE SHELTON SANATORIUM. The Shelton Sanatorium, on one of the hills overlooking the Housatonic valley, has, perhaps, the most command- ing location of any of the sanatoria and because of its proximity to several large and growing cities, it is prob- ably destined to become the largest institution of its kind in the state.
