want further facilities for the Insane
after this appropriation is expended
for ten years.
Mr.. Isaacs thought there had beer
too much haste and too much pro.
diguality in the matter. He was in
favor Of the commission, 80 that an
unwise location may not be made q
second time.
Mr.. McTteavy disagreed with the
gentleman as to this implied criticism
on the present location. A com.
mitee had been appointed to selec'
the location years ago, and the re.
suit was choice of Fort Steilacoom.
He was in favor of postponing a To-
cation for Eastern Washington, un-
til the requirements justified another
appropriation.

Council refused to recede from its
amendment to H. B. 210, making ap-
preparation for contingent expenses
OF Hospital for the Insane.
Judge Jacobs observed that when
ever a man obtained a fat Office and
became firmly fixed in it, he invari-
bly, becomes aware of the fact that
he is giving his services to the pub.
lie for very inadequate pay. Now
here is gentleman who receives
81 1900, rs Superintendent and Ply
sician and his family carried for at
the public expense; he was anxious
to obtain tho position, and still we
find him calling for more pay. This
gentleman would be glad in private
practice to make $4,000 over bis
board. II he can do better, why
does he not resign? That would be
an easy solution of the difficulty.
1t taxes the credulity of any one
who reflects to consider the asser-
ton that the salary paid is not fully
up to the services rendered.
Mr.. McReavy said that as the
number of patients increase. and the
responsibility. augments, the pay for
service should be correspondingly
advanced.
The Council, however, thought
otherwise and refused to recede from
its amendments.
Council then took a recess till 2:3O
