The action of the city of Bismarck in
rendering to the members free transpor-

of his bill for the appropri-

of the institution. for maintenance and
support of the institution, and in adj
dition, for the sum of $4,000 for ad-
ditional buildings for the accommoda-
ton Of patients. 1t is generally agreed
that the state insane hospital patients
must suffer from the crowded condition

to relieve this condition two years ago by
the passage of a bill giving the trustees
power to sell bonds secured by the lands

suit.
