No special plans have yet been made for use of nearly a quarter of a million dollars left to the Northwoods Tuberculosis Sanatorium of Saranac Lake in the will of the late Mrs. Minnie Hayman of New York, widow of Al Hayman, prominent theatrical man.
According to Maurice M. Feustman, of this village, treasurer of the institution, the money bequeathed to the Northwoods Sanatorium, amounting to $240,652, may go toward a fund being raised to provide for the erection of a model sanatorium building on the old Branch farm overlooking Lake Flower in Saranac Lake, where land was obtained last year.
The Northwoods Tuberculosis Sanatorium was founded in 1919 as a semi-charitable, non-sectarian institution by a group of friends here and in New York City by friends of Dr. Edgar Mayer of Saranac Lake as a tribute to his work in the field of tuberculosis. Dr. Mayer is consulting physician of Northwoods as well as superintendent of the National Variety Artists Sanatorium here.
Edwin Mayer of New York is president of Northwoods Sanatorium. Mrs. Moritz Rosenthal of Riverdale, is vice-president, and James A. Miller of New York is secretary.
