the memorial OF the Mornpgsde Park Association In
reference to the BloomEgdale Asylum for the Insane
was made today The specific inquiries enumerated
In the memorial arc referred In their order and as
far as possible, disposed OF separately. The nrst
question Is whether the governors OF The hospVai
denied TO the state Board Of Charities the hight OF
visiting the asylum and whether there Is In fact am
visitation. The committee is unable TO say that
proper board or any officer OF the state was ever
refused the right of inspection Tho report says
that IL seems to have been shown concusivey that no
part of the proceeds from of the charitable works
of the Society of tho NewYork Hospital Is devoted to
any other purpose than the forwarding of the general
charitable objects OF tho institution as whole The
committee reports that both free patents and patients
who pay moderate been aud taken at the
asylum, and that no reason has been shown why the

The committee opposed the idea Of cutting streets
through the asylum grounds, saying that there Is ho
pressing need for such action. 1t says that no evl-
dence to support tho charge OF Encouragement was
produced. The committee concludes by saving thai
would be unwise TO compel hasty abandonment OF
the present location but advises that steps be taken
ultimately to remove the institution
There Is minority report dissenting from the views
of the majority. The minority report Is signed by
Senators Langbeln and Foley.
