A bill amounting 10 I,l80 from The
Pennsylvania Hospital for tue Insane FOR
the sustsnarcs OF two patients was also
paid. Some OF the members dae!sed AN
explanation Of this bill and it is given
upon she authority Of one cr two who have
been cloeelg oonneated with it. The two
patients were aomieisied to tne Phiiadel.
phia instiicuoa upon application by
thair friends to th0 chancellor, st S5 per
week each, thO county TO pay tbs cost OF
their maintenance. The Legislature pre-.
ceding tho last ass ion, Of the request Of
the trustees, pas9 d law authorizing
Governor b sgq to rscall hssn two un.
fostanHta1 aud place them in the nav in
sane asylum thsn ran by the county and
ready for their reception. Though
the into-man.s state frequently re.
quoatsd to do so, Governor B.ggs did
Lot recall the patients, alleging his
doubt 80 to his authority in
the matter. The trustees applied
to the last Legislature, and had
an act passed making it mandatory upon
the governor to havs tho two cnarges re-
turned to this county and Immediately
Governor Biggs was importuned to carry
out the PROVISIONS of the law. He is said
to have alleged ss an excuse for not doiug
SO that ono member of the board had
nrged him not to do SO, and he did not
until Novsmbe. last, the county paying
ct the rate of $500 per annum for this
care of these two untortunates who could
have been as we'll cared for at fraction
of that sum. With these people now in
the State hospital the county will save an
additional $500, and it ia probable that
the almshousa will be able to get through
next year on an appropriation OF $50, 600,
il the present ratio of saving is main
tRined.
