cation, which was published in TIL
newspapers at that time.
We submit this reply, from which
you will see that this indicates that i
would be unWise for us at the preSen
time to build an asylum, for the rea
son that present institutions Of thi
nature are not tillett4tO their capacity

OF Control to limit the number of asy
lums, SO as to keep the present one
on paying basis.
