OF the State
Asylum.
IN WESTBORO.
Balance on Hand and Pa
tents Well Treated.

Westboro, Nov 19-The trustees of
the Westboro insane hospital have is
sued their fourteenth annual report,
and speak in very high terms Of the
management of the institution. There
were 1853 patients admitted this year,
OF these, 23S were committed by
courts, from other institutions and q
volunteer patients. There We're 296 pa
tents discharged; As We're removed by
the state board Of lunacy and charity.
OF these q went to the Massachusetts
hospital of epileptics, to other institu-
lions, to boarding out, and 10 went to
their legal residences outside of the
state
There We're A deaths. The total eX-
penses of the asylum for the year are
as follows: S107, 1851. Receipts, S115. S19,
y. Cash on hand, $754951, The hospital
is in an excellent condition in all its
departments, and is under humane
management from the superintendent
down through the entire list Of officials,
and everything indicates that the insti-
tuition is one of the best and most sue
cessful of its kind to be found.
Next Saturday afternoon, Nov g.
there is to be a meeting in the select
mems room TO consider the application
for franchise for the Westboro, Hop
kinton and Milford street railway. 1t IS
hoped that if the franchise is granted
the time viii not be extended for two
or three years in order to keep other
parties from building the line. One year
ought to be sufficient

Grafton, Nov. 19.-The report of the
committee appointed to investigate the
condition of the school buildings of the
town and to recommend what ought
to be done at the special town meet
ing here today, brought to light the
fact that in the near future Grafton
must eXpend over $4,000 on school
buildings in the town.
The meeting was called to order at
2 o'clock, by Moderator L, NJ. Rice of
North Grafton. Arthur A. Simmons,
ST., chairman of the committee APP
pointed on July Z, submitted the fol-
lowing report:
AS regards the North Grafton build
ing, it is recommended that the L part
be moved back and to one side of its
present condition, and that a new l.
part of about the same dimensions and
two stories in height be added there
to.
That the stairway be removed and
relocated, and the modern sanitaries
be supplied by the Grafton Water
Company. The buildings to be sup
piled with hot-air furnaces and stack
heaters of a standard required by law
The cost to be estimated: Building,
Sbl0Ui neaJlnS ana YentllaUlng, SI4OO;
sanitary fixtures, $350-total, $500.
AS regards the Farnumsville school,
it is recommended that a building 1.-TWO
stories) be erected in Baskerville, which
the scholars Of the upper grades of both
Farnumsville and Saundersville may
attend, thus making room for the
scholars of the lower grades. Building
to cost $4250.
The school house at Saundersville has
a good cellar, etc, The room ON the
first floor has been divided into two
rooms The building should have in
creased window capacity, and the tenn
porary partition should be removed.
We recommend that the above changes
be made and the building be heated
and ventilated by hot-air furnaces To-
Gated in the cellar. Said improvements
to cost $3.50.
The present high school building is
in every respect inadequate. It is in
too poor condition to warrant any con-
siderable expenditure upon it, and the
committee recommend that a new
building be erected on some suitable
lot; that it be made Of brick and con-
tain such accommodations as shall rem
der it adequate for years to come the
exterior of the building to be plain as
hpossible. consistent with the character
it should possess of dignity and orna-
ment to the town.
We estimate the cost Of a building to
be SIG, 750
As regards the North street gram

mar, four different plans are suggest
ed, the following being most feasible:
to remove the grammar and primary
schools to a new frame building situated
on a lot to be selected by a building
committee, and to discontinue the use
Of the present school building on North
street, said new building to be provided
with a room for superintendent Office.
Said building to cost $12,050.
1t is further recommended that to
provide the necessary funds for the
purposes herein, the town authorize an
application to be made to the general
court sitting in January next, for au-
amount of $4,000, said bonds to be pay
able on and after 1910, in the proper
ton of $4,000 per annum, with interest
at per cent. The report was unani-
mously accepted, and on motion Of
G. X. Nichols, the meeting dissolved.
