DHS MOlNhSi July The
members of the state executive council
will go to Glenwood Saturday morning to
take a look at the property Of the state
in connection with the Institution for
Feeble Minded and fix upon the sum OF
damages to be paid by the Burlington for
the proposed right-of-way through the
state property. Inasmuch as the survey
involves a deep cut through the best part
OF the ground of the institution 1t will be
necessary to go and see the site to de-
termine the damage. It is probable that
President Cownie Of the Board OF Control
will accompany the members Of the execu-
tive council and represent the interests
or the state. There was a rumor that the
people OF Glenwood had agreed to pay the
damages for the new route, but this is
denied, by the representatives Of the city
and by the engineers OF the company.
The Burlington is as DESTROYS Of keeping
in Glenwood as the people Of Glenwood are
to keep the road.
Increase of the Insane.
The records of the hospitals Of the state
show that the number Of insane in Iowa
is increasing at the rate Of about 1875
a year. The Board OF Control finds that
on June 30 last there were in the state, in
custody, 1926 insane persons, of which
$50 were in county institutions, 424 In pri-
lvate institutions and 3,152 in state hos
pitfalls. The total June 80, 1901, was 1890;
June 80, 1900. was 1924, and June 80, 1899,
was 4,149.. The increase of the lumber OF
insane in the state is steady and necessi-
tates a constant increase in the facilities
for handling them and caring for them.
