There were 350l2 acres of ground in the pur-
chase and several buildings of cheap construc-
ton, which had been erected thirty-hve years
before The Board Of Managers and the newly
elected Superintendent of the Custodial Asylum.
DR.. John F. Fitzgerald. when they looked over
the buildings of the institution had every reason
to think that il might be well 10 abandon them:
set them on fire. and in their place erect modern
structures. a large proportion of the rooms
were in a basement almost under ground; the
ventilation was abominable the plumbing might

Nevertheless the Board of Managers and Dr.
Fitzgerald resolutely set 10 work 10 convert the
"Poorhouse' into a State asylum worthy OF

they did not have appropriations Of any great
extent from the State to accomplish this pur-
nose they had 10 work with great care. husband

could be put up. and therefore the old must be

BUILDINGS AND MANAGEMENT
[FRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT THE TRIBUNE.]
Rome. n. Y. oct "A few years ago the
County of Oneida had of the most discredit-
able asylums for the of the insane and aged
poor in the State. The buildings Of the instltu-
ton, which situated about three mics
from This city, themselves looked out frowningly
1t the world. People travelling on
the New York Central Railroad, in looking
southwark across the 1iatland west OF this place.
saw long line Of plain brick buildings without
the slightest beauty of architecture which might
easily be mistaken. owing TO their barren ap-
pearance for ~ utilitarian cotton factory More
over there were few trees about the institution.
and thus it's hideousness was not even hidden by
a friendly shield of Natures providing.
But with the States assumption of the care Of
the INDECENT insane Of the State there came a
great change in the character Of the institution.
The buildings and land surrounding them were
purchased by the State. at large price, con-
sidering their actual vaue-about 5000 0OO-and
a State Custodal Asylum for the care Of
feeble minded and women organized.
