75 YEARS AGO: It was reported that the Stanislaus County Grand Jury recommended that the county hospital construct a new ward to handle tuberculosis patients. The grand jury made the recommendation to the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors as they were preparing to draft the 1943-44 county budget. The grand jury deemed the ward being used for tuberculosis patients a disgrace and requested an emergency category be placed in the budget for the construction of a new ward.
