A gift of 300 acres of land in the Borough of Hopatcong, overlooking Lake Musconetcong, has been made to the Jewish Anti-Tuberculosis League of this city and will be given by the latter organization to the Deborah Jewish Consumptive Relief Society. In making the gift, Louis C. Schwartz, president of the tuberculosis league, announced that part of the land will be used for a summer camp for children of tubercular parents.
The land, which comprises the remaining holdings of the Hopatcong Land Company, of which Milton M. Unger of this city is treasurer, includes the sixty-five acres which were given to the Deborah Society two years ago and on which that institution wanted to erect a sanatorium. This acreage was given by Mr. Unger and his associates. The society, however, was unable to obtain a permit from the State Board of Health to erect a new sanatorium, and the board’s action later was sustained by the State Supreme Court. Now the society is planning a sanatorium at Brown’s Mills, where its present building is located.
