The Lunat1c Asylum


The matter of locating this institution
seems to be all in middle, Certainly
if everything that has been done was
satisfactory to the State officials and to
the people, there would not be so much
wrangling about it. 1t seems to us that
there has been a disposition from the
beginning to make the location where
the largest offer was made regardless
Of advantages offered. This has not
been strictly so, because offers have
been made by some localities that are
VIGOROUSLY unfit for such an institution
We believe that the law intends that, ali
other things being equal, the place
making the most liberal offer shall be
selected, and even If place is preemi-
nently suitable and makes no offer at all,
the commissioners would be iustifable
in selecting that place. Net one of the
gentlemen entrusted with this RESPONSE
bic duty has ever been to Bolivar, al
though it is true that two or three places
in this vicinity satisfy every condition
contemplated by law. There is perhaps,
no other place in West Tennessee that
offers so many advantages in point of
good health, suitable lands and water
facilities, good drainage and convenience
to a good town and railroads No offer
is made by the people here in the way
of money and lands, but the lands can
be purchased by the State for that purS
pose at low rates. We propose solu'
ton of the difficulty by having the CONS
missioners locate the asylum near BOli-
