DR.. Goldsmith recites the wellknOwn
facts that the Asylum started with be-
quest of s 10000, received aiterward gilt
of $4,000 from the State. and now owns
buildings and grounds valued by the trus-
tees at $500. 900. This property has been
paii for by the savings made in keeping the
insane over and above the actual cost. and
at very moderate price. There has been
constant process of enlargement, but the
applicants have steadily outstrIpped the
room provided ior them, and the number OF
inmates now far exceeds the number of the
rooms. The trustees" says DR.. Gold
smith, "have always been in debt. They
have been obliged, as they say, to inticipate
their income. There has always been q
pressure for admission beyond the capacity
for the institution to house the applicants
properly. In the rooms provided. even
when occupied by the number they were
designed for, the space and AIR supply arc
not sufficient. Crippled by the want of
means, they have not provided the number
OF attendants essential to the ll-being of
the inmates. In these three things, space
to live in, pure air to breathe. and sufficient
attendance land the evils that grow out of
