lunacy proceedings instituted by or on
behalf of the Commissioners, and in
crease of nearly 20 per cent over the
last fiscal year, and he has the followint
TO say in that connection:
Some effective remedy should be
provided to relieve the municipality OF
the enormous expense incurred in con-
of lunatics. An increasing percentage
of these unfortunates consists of per-
sons from the adjoining States who are
brought within the District for the pur-
pose of commitment to the Government
Hospital for the Insane and there is
no justification whatever in making
them a charge either temporary or per-
manent upon the people of the Dis
trict
Insane Commitments.
II have heretofore called attention
to the law under which indigeM IN
sane persons and insane persons OF
homicidal tendencies are committed to
the Government Hospital for the In
sane These proceedings are conducted
under the provisions of the act OF Con-
gress approved June 3. 1899, which in
terms denies to the alleged lunatic the
right of trial by jury and commits the
question of his sanity TO the determi-
nation of one of the Justices of the Su-
preme Court of the District of Column
bia. The present law requires the pay
menr by the District in each case OF
per diem compensation of $40 to at
least two physicians
During the year this compensation
for physicians fees in lunacy cases
amounted to more than $1,000. In my
judgment. this constitutes a reprehen-
sible waste of public money. In more
than so per cent of the cases the lunacy
of the parties proceeded against is pal
pable, and there is no necessity for
medical expert testimony, certainly not
for the testimony of two medical ex-
perts.
The proceeding now in force dis
placed simple and inexpensive pro-
cedure authorized by a provision con-
tanned in the appropriation bill for
1899 whereby the Marshal empaneled a
jury in attendance upon one of the
criminal courts and the verdict of the
jury was confirmed by the court The
expense of that proceeding consisted
of clerks fees and the ordinary wit
ness fees. If Congress is unwilling to
reinstate the former procedure 1t
should at least amend the present law
respecting the allowance for two ply
siciaps in each case
Wharf Property.
Mr.. Duvall makes brief reference to
the placing of the control of wharf
property under the District Commits
sioners ard closes his report with the
following reflections upon the new Dis
trict Code:
The Code of Law for the District
enacted by Congress March g. 1901, went
into effect and operation January l,
1902. Important amendments to the
Code were proposed with the desire
that they should be Incorporated there
in by the time 1t went into operation,
but Congress withheld action until June
80, 1902.
I'm the nature of things, new code
of law will occasion some jarring and
necessitate some readjustment; and
such has been our experience, but this
lessons as we become familiar with it's
provisions, and il is confidently ex-
pected that We will now receive the
much anticipated benefit from this re-
vision of our complicated laws
