STATES LARGEST ASYLUM
IS NEARING COMPLETION

Rapid progress is being made on
Illinois newest and greatest institu-
tion-the asylum for incurable insane
at Bartcnville, south of Peoria. The
heating plant has been turned on in
certain buildings. The pumps have
been in operation for several days and
the hot water was turned on in one
of the cottages. The tests are being
very carefully made to prevent the
possibility of any accident that
might cripple the effectiveness of the
plant after the institution mas been
occupied. The system in use is the
Garayan hot water system and is
said to be one of the finest i'll use.
The hot water is forced to the differ
ent buildings by powerful pumps, and
has the advantage over steam that it
maintains an even and steady heat
without the fluctuations that some
times come from the use of steam.
Besides the cottage in question the
two dining rooms have been heated
and everything is said to have worked
i'm fine shape.
The sewer has been finished and
the water piping has also been laid.
The main starts from the Peoria
connection and 12-inch main eX-
tends two miles to Bartonville. From
there a 10-inch main leads to the
asylum grounds. There are more
than 10000 feet of pipe, large and
small.
Some of the furniture has already
arrived and is stored in the supply
house. Among the list is some 1000
chairs, from which it will be seen
that the asylum, even at its first
stages, is a mighty big institution
Two thousand yards of scrim have
been purchased for certain purposes.
besides which Il large number IF
shades have been bought and will be
put up as soon as possible.
In the boiler house six enormous
boilers have been installed with a ca
pacity of 125 horse power each. Their
will be two large dynamos, with in
Vulnerable smaller ones for a variety
of uses. The large engines will drive
these dynamos by direct connection.
The brick boiler house has been
finished with the exception of the
brick floor, and this is now being
laid.
The work of finishing the Gleason
building is also almost done and will
soon be ready for occupancy. The
capacity of the asylum when done,
so far as started, will be about 200
persons. and eventually the capacity
will be about 5000.

was finally passed as reported.
Hereafter houses will be moved
only by licensed house movers, who
will pay S25 annually for the priv
lege. If the building happens to be

death of their son Charlie, who
died June S. 1922.
Our precious boy has left IS
Alone In world of sin;
He was too pure to linger,
So angels CAME to win.
Our Charlie, our gifted darling,
Why should we mourning stray!
We know that thou are rejoicing
In faire1 land today.
But, oh, we miss our loved one.
Who Is free from care and pair
We question not Gods wisdom,
Not wish him back again.
And may G ID lead US
To that brighter land above
To meet again our loved one
TIiumphan; In his love.

Advises OH operators 20 60 Very slow


Cumberland, Md, June 10
State Geologist William B Clark,
of Maryland, advises investors In
lands with the view of boring for
oil in Maryland to go slow, as he
does not believe petroleum will be
found In paying quantities. The
two areas In which prospecting has
been carried on for oil are first, the
old paIezoic rocks of the Appalach-
Ian district of Allegany and Garrett
counties, and second, the differently
constructed ! formations In the
coastal plan of southern and eastern
Maryland. Prof. Clark says there
Is no hope of any result In the for
mer and although slight traces of
petroleum have been found In the
latter, 1t Is extremely unlikely that
there would be anything to repay a
large investment. Plttsburg men
have been Investing In lands In this
section for oil prospecting.
