Inc jail "t New Castle we found the In
mates at the almshouse well cared for, and
great crealb l. dne to the management
While at Farnhurst our attention was call
ed to the lack OF proper wards for serious
crises where they could DO isolated and
have moro quiet than in the general hos
piial wards. The members of tho board Of
trus ees as well as tho physicians in charge
rtqutst" us to cnll attention 10 this mat

trusting that the Levy Court will grant
the small appropriation needed, and which

proper care OF those committed to his
