Your committee believe a separate building for
the chronic insane could be built on the asylum
farm where there j. a most beautiful and advan-
tagous site. be conducted by the same manage
ment as the state hospital, and the inmates be
supported at anehalf the present cost per person.
We are aware that the plan Of separation Is OPP
posed by the theoretical and sentimental, but we
believe the opposition il not well founded. There
i such an institution for chronic insane at Tukes-
bury Mass. and the inmates of that asylam are
we'll cared for and supported for les than half
what il costs in our state institutions. Rhode
Island has also adopted the same plan, and the
result il satisfactory aud n saving Of money. 9TH
er states have taken steps in the same direction.
We would suggest that Wisconsin might pursue
the same course with great advantage, particular
IL as we shall soon be compelled To DO something
to relieve the ovpr-crowded condition Of the hos
pitals VIC already have.
DEFECTS N SYSTEM
Bu, looking AZ the management as II nos ex-
lists we believe two things radically wrong in
the system. lst. The union Of the medical and
business departments. %. The employment OF
an unpaid hoard Of trustees.
UNION or DEPARTMENTS.

care and stndy to the medical department as be

length but those given suffice 10 show the tendency
to which we refer. Aproper regard for economy
would certainly reject many or quite all Of these
expenditures and greater watchtulness iii this dl-
rection is needed the part OF the officers OF the
hospital
ACCOUNTING FOR PROPERTY AND INVENTORIES
We have found an entire lack Of responsibility
and accountability for property purchased for the
state and paid for out Of state funds for instance
a bill of goods is purchased in Chicago, and the
treasurer of the hospital pays the bill ON the SUI
perntendents certificate with absolutely no way
to tell whether the good purchased ever came to
the hospital or not. There Is no system Of re-
cevng or checking goods. Some person other
than the purchasing agent should receive the
goods, be required TO keep an accurate account
thereof and check of on the bills all the articles
received. i regular inventory system should also
be adopted. We do not find that there ever was
an inventory Of the hospital property until last
fall 1t is impossible to know what property the
hospital had or ought to have had at any given
time Large quantities of stock, fixtures and fur
niture have been bought and paid for and that is
the end of the record. There is nothing to show
what has become Of that which has been pur-
chased but is not visible There should be conl-
pete annual inventories; register kept of every
article purchased and when broken, worn out or
DESTROYED it should be 50 recorded. Subordinate
employees should be held strictly accountable for
the property under their control and compelled to
show what becomes Of it. Under the present plan
the hospital is a general receiving house where
things are emptied in and that is the last OF them
SO far as accountability or certainty is concerned.
1t is needless to remark that dishonest official
might run off almost any quantity Of property
and unless caught in the act no one will ever know

The Ian Of auditing accounts, in the Judgment
Of your committee has been all wrong. Bills Of
purchases are incurred certified BY the superin-
tendent paid by the treasurer, and then subse-
quently audited BY the board or committee Of
the board. This seems 10 Us HnbHsinesslike. The
board are 10 sapenntcnd and direct the expendl-
ture Of moneys and net merely t. look over bills
already made and liquiiatsd. There should be o
regular pay day for all accounts against the hos
pitai. Prior to the day the board Or the proper
committee Of the board should meet carefully
scrutinize each item Of the bin allow or reject the
same, and then the bills BE- paid on their certif-

Your committee found on the hospital farm
large and excellent barn but it's history is 50
peculiar as to demand special notice. At the
sion Of the legislature in 1877, appropriation Of
81 900 was made for a new barn. The first bill
of lumber for this barn amounted to 81 800, and
was purchased by the superintendent three weeks
prior to any action on the part of the board au
thorizing its construction providing plans
therefor. No other appropriation was ever made
for this barn. 1t was built and your committee
were repeatedly informed by the superintendent
and by members Of the board Of trustees that its
total cost was - 900. As a matter Of fact it cost
over S, 600 and the superintendent admitted
in his testimony when upon the witness stand and
the books and accounts We're placed before him.
These figures seems to have been a surprise both
to the superintendent and to the board and salts
fed the committee that neither had any accurate
knowledge Of how the money appropriated by the
legislature is expended. When turn 10 the
printed reports Of the hospital which are supposed
to furnish the state with accurate information as
to the condition and expenditure Of the institu-
ton the only item anywhere appearing with re-
gard To- this barn, is charge OF Sl2I.56.
These figures in themselves present surprising
commentary on the financial management of the
hospital. the blame of which must rest alike on
the superintendent ana on the board

The committee have found too much evidence
Of extravagant OUTLAWS. If thing was nice
and wculd be convenient, or source OF enjoy
ment in the hospital to Is resident officers, the
tendency has been to buy it irrespective Of its
cost. Our meaning will be best understood by
few illustrations. We find there has been invested
for the hospital during the period covered by our
examination the following among many similar
