FOR EXPENSES OF THE STATE
Appropriation Act Passed by
the House on Friday.
CHARTER BILL DID NOT APPEAR
Its Promoters We're Afraid to
e Bring it Forth.



Dover, March 8.
Gov. Tunnel, yesterday, returned to
the Senate, with objections, the Senate
bill providing that all employees at tho
Delaware State Hospital, at Farnhurst,
shall be residents of this State for at
least three years prior to their appoint
ment. He stated his objections in the
following communication;
ITO the Senate of the State of Della
ware: The act which has passed both
houses of the General Assembly and
been presented to me, entitled AN act
to amend chapter 553. Vol. XVIII,
Laws of Delaware, and to provide that
all physicians, stewards, matrons,
nurses and other servants of the Della
ware State Hospital, at Farnhurst,
shall be residents of this State for at
least three years prior to their appoint
ment," being Senate bill No. 81, has
been carefully considered by me, and l
now return it to the Senate with the
following objections:
1.-THE purpose and effect Of this bill
is explained in its title.
1.-THE Delaware State Hospital, at
Farnhurst, is State institution for
the care and treatment of the insane,
and has been established and main
tanned at a great expense TO the State.
IIudtttS WIZ nave GndTEt
this in titution are careful and honest
men appointed from all parts of the
State. and have no doubt that they
exercise their authority in the employ
ment Of physicians, stewards and other
employees with due care and for the
best interest of the State and the insti-
tuition.
sin order that the unfortunates who
are there cared for may have the best
care and treatment, it is necessary that
the most competent, trained and skilled
physicians and other attendants that
can be obtained should be provided.
Whether the persons so employed are
citizens of this State or not should not
be considered. When there are so few
in this State possessing the necessary
experience and training in the care Of
insane, such a law as this bill con-
templates might deprive the institution
of the proper management and its
patients of the care which they deserve.
Whatever motives may underlie
such legislation, we must recognize
that such institutions arc established
and maintained for the benefit of un.
fortunate and helpless citizens, and moi
to afford employment to physicians anc
attendants.
st is with bad grace that State
like Delaware, so many of whose citi
zens emigrate and seek employment il
other States, should attempt to raisI
