Asylum Board, a resolution was adopted
recommending the erection and estab-
lishment OF a separate lunatic asylum in
some central place in Cavan, " as we
(the Board of Directors) consider 1t
would be better for the patients and
cheaper for; the ratepayers Of the county

would. in our opinion, be sufficient to
purchase suitable place in Cavan."
