vised yOur committee "a visit such state
bospitals having insane from LA Sale
colInfy. and confer with them In regard 10
making more room In said hospitals, tor
th,. benefit Of recent eases from this cnun
~, And Ia accordance the chairman 81
your committee visited the hospital at e.
gin. ,.,.
that they are OvetCruwded wlth Inmates,
and this condition o. things often makes II
necessary At times ~ refuse some appllca-
tiuns from counties that have mora than
their quota In the hospital, Of which II APP
pears that Ia Sale county has ten over
it, quota At Elgin
However, officers Of said hospital claim
,hs, they DO not refuse the adml,tanc" ct
recent eases: that they endeayor NJ all
times o. make room for such cases when
,oullcatiou Il made, but say that applicN-
lions are often received which, upon In
vestig tion, proves that the case IL chronic,
and il Is necessary AZ times 10 refuse such
cases.
The Officers OF said hospital seemed 10 be
very WILING tp 1t''ulul'Ha.N IN ''''' N'''
a. far ~ they could In receiving this cnun
rvs insane, and that taere were several
chronic cases from this county they would
order removed,
They also claim that In bonded cases, the
hospital deals directly with the bonisman
and not with tho county, and the county
mas no control over bonded cases
II appears that the pauper Insane admit
ted 10 State hospitals that the county IL
required 10 furnish such insane with cl'th
ing only, while the State pays for their
bOard, medical treatment and all other ex-
penses attending.
Therefore If chronic pauper insane are
returned 10 the county IL will cost the cuun-
~ much more 10 care for and support its
insane than 1t does while they are in State
hospitals.
All of which Is respectfully submitted,
II BOWEN, Chairman.
