/ To the Hon. Chairman and Board of Supervis-
CrS of h,nitowoc County,-Gentlemen: The un-
dersisl.ed trustees of the asylum for the insane
hcG Lave to submit short report of the business
connected with the said asylum. The present
number of patients at the asylum Is S., of which
50 belong to Manitowoe county l3 belong TO 0zau-
| kee county, 10 belong TO Marathon county, and q
| belong To Calumet county. For the foreign pa
uents tho county receives $500 per week and
clothing per capita. On account of the increased
number OF patients the present accommodations
FOR baking, washing ironing, etc. were not suffi-
cient, and as the matter could not be delayed
unul the meeting OF your honorable body, your
trustees resolved 10 cause the necessary improve
ments to be made and have contracted for the
! mason work with J, D. Meyer for building
4tlX22 feet u feet high, TO contain a wash room
bakery and smoke house, also cellar for provis-
ions, ana a clstern. The probable cost TO the
county for the said building will be about $3.50
lour trustees would respectfully ask your Hon.
Body to approve of our actions, In our last an
nual report we called the attention of the board
to the advisableness of purchasing more land for
the asyIurn and again we nlace fba Inattar hofra
You for due consideration. There is sufficient
help at the asylum to work much larger farm
with advantage to the county, and with benefit
TO the iatlents, As experience has already demon
strated the fact, that employment does more to-
wards improving the condition of these poor un-
fortunate people than medical treatment.
Mr.. Wood Is the owner of the MEL of MEL of
Sec, 81, town of ManitowOc Rapids and this land
corners the asylum farm, which can be haurht
for $1,000. 1t Is the aim of your trustees to create
a comfortable home for the inmates and with as
little expense TO the county possible. 1t is the
opinion of your trustees that in the course of
time the expense Of keeping our own patients viii
be very small, All of which Is respectfully SUBJ
mitted, JoHN CAREY,
