CERTIFICATES IMPERFECT.
Superintendent Whites Comment on
Commitments to Asylum:

Superintendent William A. White of the
Government Hospital for the Insane has
written to the Commissioners stating that
the physicians of the city do not properly
fill out the medical certificates certifying to
the mental condition of persons committed
to the asylum from the District. He COM
plains that the certificates do not contain
the necessary information relative TO the
pathological. family and personal history
of the patients committed.
DR.. White states that in addition to con-
tanning as complete a history possible
of the patient, the certificate should mem
ton sufficient evidence to warrant the
diagnosis of insanity, or at least the evil
dence upon which the physicians based
their diagnosis of the case. This evidence
should also be included In the certificate if
it is necessary that a patient should be
admitted Immediately to the hospital pend
ing judicial inquiry into his mental
status.
The board of police surgeons, to whom
the matter was referred by the Commits
sioners, report that owing TO the fact that
the family history of the persons held by
the police department suspected of insanity
is seldom obtainable it is possible only in
rare instances to furnish the information
desired by DR.. White. They state how
ever, that the evidence upon which de-
tention for insanity is recommended is in
variably supplied by the police surgeons.

ENGINEER HUNT RETURNS.
Result of Inspection of Sanitary Condi
lions in Havana.

Mr.. c. B. Hunt, engineer of highways,
has returned to his desk in the District
building after an absence of about ten days
in Havana Cuba. Mr.. Hunt went to Ha-
vana on leave, and not on official business.
While in Havana Mr.. Hunt states that
he inspected the system of streets there,
and among other things learned that the
authorities of Havana have decided to
postpone for a time the construction of a
sewer system, and will take up the matter
of pavements. sidewalks, etc. instead. The
authorities, he says, believe that the in
stallation of the sewer service at this time
is not so important as other matters, for
the sanitary condition of the city is good,
and the streets and alleys are quite clean.
