+. |. Kidd moved an adjournment.
Thos. Watson moved to amend to $50
a. m.
Col. j. G. CLARK asked the gentleman
to withdraw the motion for a moment;
motion withdrawn.
Col. CLARK said he wished to acer-
tain the number of insane; whether they
were kept at hone, by the towns, or at
the State Asylum. The speaker had a
list, but did not know whether it was
complete, as it comprised such names
as he had been able to gather himself;
did not know whether it was correct or
not. The system was such that no
county in the State could tell anything
about their insane. He would like
to think the matter over and
give him the names of insane in their
towns.
lengthy discussion followed Dur
ing this there was developed strong
feeling on the part of the board that all
such insane as had property of their
own or had relations who could be made
chargable with their keeping should be
looked after, and such property or rela-
tiyes made TO contribute to their support.
Col. CLARK finally stated that if the
board cared to hear it, he would read
ov ,r his list and the different chairmen
could make corrections if necessary.
