''Inasmuch as the Lecislaturc nj i,s
last session, made no appropriation for
the support Of the dangerous insane
and yet require them to be kept sepa-
rate from the other insane nj the State
penitentiary, and inasmuch as The fail
ure to make appropriation for the sup
port of the said dangerous insane was
through an oversight on the part of the
Legislature:
=. NV, iiciciolc, upon the preSenta-
ton OF these facts, and upon the re-
quest of the board of directors of the
state Hospital for the Insane at Raj
eigh, the council advises and requests
the Treasurer of the State TO loan the
board of directors of the State Hospital
at Raleigh the sum of six thousand dol
lars to be used for the support of the
said dangerous insane"
