When the report was made there were 124
| inmates, ~ males and Is females.
OF the IA IslunaticS admitted III were
white and IL Mexicans. No colored lu-
| natics were admitted although there were
| six applications on file. This was because

such as TO make race undesirable.
In its numbers Bexar county has 26 in
mates. all other counties send small dele.

In classifying the lunaties it is strange
that those engaged in nom mental labor
are the greatest victims of madness. OF
the 142 admitted 80 are farmers, Is far
mers' wives, ~ laborers and stockmen.
In nationality Texas leads with "a, then

The total expense of the asylum was
sos, 1882, but of this sum S77,S52.92 was
spent on construction, leaving $50, 1880 as
the. cost of maintenance.
Since the opening of this asylum two
inch water pipe q of a mile long has
been laid at the cost of $1,000, barn
with ten stables built. good system
of sewerage established, the park cleared
of underb brush and fenced, fire protection
organized and repair shops built. Other
minor Improvements have been made.
The farm has been enlarged and an addi-
tional $50 acres cleared, giving total OF
100 acres ready for planting, and though,
owing to drouth, the farm and garden
last year were Improbable, this year
much Improvement and profit is expected
in this way.
The health of the patients is good only
