INSANE HOSPITAL.
Quarterly Meeting OF the Trustees

The trustees of the Hospital held their
quarterly meeting Wednesday, and carefully
inspected the wards, enquired into the condi-
ton of the patients, audited the accounts,
and looked after the many interests of the
institution. We are indebted to DIR. J. w.
Dearborn for the following report;
The past year has been very busy one.
The hall used for religious services on the
Sabbaths, and musical entertainments and
amusements during the fall, winter and
spring months, has been much enlarged,
frescoed, and made very attractive, being
now one of the finest in the State.
The kitchen and store rooms have been
enlarged-two ovens, one addtional-both
new. The capacity Qf the institution has
been increased by ~ addition of twenty
eight rooms to the chapel building for the
help.
| New and commodious rooms have been
| fitted in this building for the dispensary,
which has been removed thereto.
! The laundry and engine building has been
| entlTetN Te-Duilt. ttl1dl Rtu WIN an
story, and supplied with all the modern i'm
provements for laundry, mending- room
and twelve sleeping-rooms for the help, two
| bathrooms and an elevator added.
! The bathrooms in the middle and third
wings of the female side of the old wards
have been entirely rebuilt in a most thor
ough manner, also convenient dining room
bathroom, and parlor for each floor, and a
new elevator supplied.
A new building is to be erected during the
coming season for the accommodation of pa
tients, and to relieve the over crowded con-
dition of the wards.
This is difficult of Accomplishment, for
however liberal the State in appropriations
and diligent the officers in prosecuting the
work, the capacity of the Hospital is only
able to keep pace with the increased number
of patients, as will be apparant from the fac
that during the years from Nov. 30, 1884 t.
Nov 30, 1887, the number remaining in
creased from 46O to 552, and today the Trus
tees find 56s patients present and undel
treatment.
This remarkable increase has rendered
imperative the employment of more help
and the addition Of Third-Assistant Physi
clan in the person of DIR. Mary Chandle
Lowell and a Fourth Assistant will be need
ed before the end of the current year
The sanitary condition of the Hospital was
never so good as at present, nor its officer
and employees more faithful in the discharg'
of their arduous work.
