THE VERMONT INSANE ASYLUM.

The Vermont State Insane Asylum
authorized under an act of the Legis
Iature of 1888, is nearly all completed
at Waterbury, and will be occupied
during May. The BrattIeboro asylum
is a private institution, the State hav
ing had arrangements for caring for
the States poor insane. In the future
all such will be cared for at Water
bury. In 1891, the asylum, which
consisted of four wards, was first oc
cupied, IS patients having been trans
ferred from the Brattleboro Retreat
Since then extensive additions have
been made. Central buildings togeth-
er with fine administration building
furnished and supplied with all the
modern appliances Of heating and
lighting, having been erected. The
administration building is the home
of the superintendent and family.
The capacity of the asylum now oc
cupied will admit nearly $50 patients.
In it's short existence there have been
465 patients, but at this writing there
remains only 242 By the addition of
1895 which completed the institution,
six new wards are furnished, within
whose walls in few days 800 patients
from the Retreat at Brattleboro will
be confined. This increase of inmates
will necessitate employment for near
ly 80 more attendants, making in all
70 on the pay roll. The material en-
ployed in the construction of this
Home for the Insane is brick with
granite trimmings. 1t is erected on
firm foundation, it's height averaging
are different sections much higher,
and is wholly fire proof.
1t is Illuminated by electricity gen
Grated in a power house belonging to
the Home, and it is heated by steam.
The location is most acceptable for
the purposes of the asylum. 1t COM
prises the large farm formerly owned
by @. Q. Warren, containing 6O6 acres.
When the grounds around the asylum
are freed Of old buildings, smoothed
and graded, they will afford beauti-
full lawn and park.
The farm buildings are some of the
best that can be found in Vermont.
The house, nearly new, is two story
brick structure. The new State farm
is an excellent example of modern
farm buildings. This farm is the
means of liquidation of many of the
expenses of the institution, the land
is very fertile and yields superior
crops. The principal officers of this
asylum for the insane are first the SUI
perintendent, second, 1st assistant su-
perintendent, and third, I'd assistant
