Page 846: "In 1927 Dr. Thompkins was appointed assistant health commissioner in the department of hygiene and communicable diseases. He was assigned the task of making a survey of housing conditions and tuberculosis among the negroes of Kansas City. The plan of his survey was adopted as a model by the American public health commission. His housing plan was presented by President Hoover to the national housing commission in 1930. Hundreds of houses in the negro districts of Kansas City were condemned and a new tuberculosis hospital for negroes resulted from the survey."
