Report of the Southwestern Insane
Asylum For the Past Year.

hepOrt OF Cn6 SOUTHWESTERN insane
Asylum For the Past Year.
The annual report of the super.
intendent of the Southwestern
Insane asylum for the fiscal year
ending October 81, 1895, has been
sent the LIGHT by DR.. Warsham,
the superintendent. The report
shows that 103 patients were ad-
mitted during the year, the total
numb treated being 1888, while
81 have been discharged, 60 of
whom were restored, 20 improved,
one unimproved. There were Is

asylum at the close Of the year 23S,
13S males and 100 females. There
are II private, non-indigent patti
ents. OF the per capita cost Of the
institution, the report places it at
$l70.S4.
A farm and garden has more
than paid operating expenses, for
the first time. There have been
some changes and many improve
ments about the place.
The third floor of the laundry
building, heretofore useless, has
been arranged as an amusement
hall. The kitchen has been put in
the basement. The heretofore
useless storeroom in the basement,
which cost the state $4,000 and
which was splendidly built with
concrete walls and floors, but
which had been left without any
provision being made for doors
for ingress and egress, has been put
in use by windows being converted
into doors. A morgue and a surgi-
cal operating room have been added
bed springs to each bed and chairs
substituted for benches in the
ward dining rooms.
A tram railway has been put in
the basement for use in the store
room and kitchen and dumb wait
ers or elevators take the place Of
six or eight employees in carrying
meals from the kitchen to the din
ing rooms, as formerly.
The houses and standpipe and
fences, ETC., have been painted,
grounds improved, blacksmith
shop added, and other improve
ments made.
The total expenses for the year
were 500, 963.29; for actual main
tenance S41, 002.90.
The product of the farm and gar
den is estimated at S., 59S.4l which
should be deducted from the cost
of the institution. The cash re-
ceipts for the year were 1851, less
$6S9.50 refunded j. ID. Garnett, as.
signee.
