Received Many Callers.
After supper last evening Messrs.
Shotten, Gibbons. Tropp, Langstaff and
Lynett of the poor board, called upon
the committee with view of securing
state aid for the maintenance of the
INDECENT insane. Lackawanna is one of
the few counties that cares for its own
insane and they are entitled to an
;,tt ,ra f.,. 10
purpose. After full discussion it was
agreed that either Representative
O'Malley or Connell would introduce
a bill to this effect next week. The
committee will visit the insane depart
ment of the poor board today If possi-
BILE.
Secretary Eisele, of the Lackawanna
hospital was with the committee.
John T.. Roche, C. f.. Chittenden, presi-
dent of select council, and J. A. Lam
sing. of the board of trade, We're also
present and urged the claims of the in
stitution.
DR.. w. a. Paine and John II. Reyn-
olds waited upon the committee in the
interest of the proposed West Side hos
pital and presented strong reasons why
the appropriation should be granted.
John X. Farr, who was to have been
with the committee, is confined to his
home by illness.
Calls Committee Will Make.
The committee will start at s o'clock
this morning and visit the Lackawanna
hospital the Home for the Friendless
and the Oral School for Deaf Mutes,
for the purpose of investigating the
claims of these institutions for state
aid. If time permits they will visit
the poor farm in the afternoon and in
the evening proceed to Carbondale,
where they will consider Representa-
tive OMalley's pet hobby, the claim
of the Carbondale hospital for ST., 600.
This committee will report to the
general appropriation committee, and
that body will approve and submit their
suggestions to the house in the next
few weeks. 1t is to be hoped that the
Lackawanna appropriation Will be
passed without any pruning. This is
expected in view OF the fact that the
state will derive a revenue of about
100000 from the property of the late
Judge Handley. This was called to the
attention of the committee by Mr..
O'MallHy last evening and impressed
them very favorably.
