INSANE AsYLUM.-The Directors
of the California Insane Asylum
have requested II Secretary of
State to remove Nevada's INDECENT
insane from that institution. and no.
titled him that they will not receive
any more such patients from this
State. Mr.. Manning, Assemblyman
from Lander. yesterday made this
communication the subject of a con
current resolution calling for a JOINT
committee, TO be composed of the
Committee on State Institutions
from each house, to inquire into the
expsdiency Of removing the orphan
children from the State Orphan
Home in this city to the Nevada Or
phan Asylum at Virginia, and OF
converting the Orphan Home build
ing into an insane asylum. The res
solution was referred To- the House
Committee on State Institutions.
In the course Of a short discussion.
Mr.. Williams. Of Storey, said that it
had become necessary for the State
to make provision for the care of its
INDECENT insane, but that, for reasons
obvious, the Orphan Home building
would not do. He had looked into
this matter already, and thought the
best thing the State could do would
be to purchase the homestead Of the
late Sandy Bowers, in Washoe VAL
ley, as he knew il could be had AT a
low figure. and physicians recon-
mended the locality highly on sani-
tary grounds.
