Racine County Board of Supervis-
ors being present, he requested the
privilege Of bringing to the notice Of
the Board of Supervisors of Kenosha
County the matter of providing for
the chronic insane. who were the
wards of Kenosha; That Racine
County, in order to provide for their
necessities in caring for their own
insane, had erected a large, commo-
dious building for that purpose, and
that they had accommodations for
80 patients more than their own in
sane That they had about SO in
mates who were charges upon Ra-
cine County, about evenly divided as
to sex. That the trustees of their
asylum would be pleased to make ar
rangements for the care and main
tainance of the chronic insane be-
longing to Kenosha County, and
made the proposition that Racine
County would bear one-half of the
expenses Of removal of our insane in
case the Board should decide to re-
move them. In reply to question
asked, Mr.. Klein said he would
pledge Racine County, that when as
signed to their hospital, it should be
permanent as long as Kenosha
County elected to allow them to re-
main Mr.. Klein suggested advan-
tages to Kenosha County in the
event Of removing our insane. That
the expenses of commitment of the
insane would be materially lessened,
and that it would afford an oppor-
tunity for the friends of our unfor-
Inmates to visit them often.
Sup. Kupfer moved that the Chair
appoint a committee to consider the
question of advisability of removing
our chronic insane to Racine County
Hospital, and that said committee
report at this session of the Board.
