COUNTY CARE
OF THE INSANE
State Commissioner Wight
Makes Annual Report to
the Governor.
HIS recommendations
peciol to the EVENING NEWS /:

Special to the ETENING NEWS:
TRENTON, Dec 27:-Rev. DR..
George B. Wight, State Commissioner
of Charities and Corrections, in his
annual report just submitted to Gov
question of the wisdom of adding to
the number of county insane hospit-
ais in the state. He says in part;
'The counties of Atlantic. Burling-
ton, Camden, Cumberland, Essex and
Hudson have insane hospitals of their
own under the supervision of the
state hospitals as required by law.
The buildings are large and well
equipped, supplied with suitable pro-
tections against fire, good sanitary
appliances, and in my opinion are
properly caring for their patients.
Believes In County Hospitals.
81 am aware that the erection of
county insane hospitals is being crit
icised some claiming that these un-
fortunates should be placed in state
institutions. Without claiming any
expert knowledge in the matter, it
seems to me that so long as there is
a chance OF recovery, they are enti-
lied to the best expert treatment the
state can afford, such treatment as
our state institutions can give them;
| but when it is settled that the case
is incurable, and that nothing re-
mains to be done but to care for his
| physical needs, it is preferable to
| in, c
where there will be fewer patients,
and where they will be nearer their
kindred and friends.
"The state boards are bipartisan,
and | do not think questions of party
politics enter into their management,
but the county hospitals are under
the control of boards of freeholders,
and may be subject to the partisan
ship of the majority. These institu-
tions can be properly managed only
by completely severing them from
partisan influence; the superinten-
tendents, selected only for their abil-
| ity, should be permitted to choose
their own assistants without political
interference of any kind, and should
be held strictly accountable for their
management"
Relatives Able to Pay.
Commissioner Wight, after show
/ ing that the population of the state
and county insane hospitals is 5,S19,
/ says that it is generally believed that
there are a large number of persons
in the institutions as patients who are
amply able to pay for their main
tenance. He states further that it is
even claimed thar old people, possibly
childish, but certainly not insane,
have been placed in the state and
county hospitals as INDECENT patients
to relieve children and grandchildren
of their support.
The commissioner makes this
recommendation: 'The commitment
and transfer of state wards deserves
close attention. In my opinion there
should be no commitment to any
charitable institution of the state of
those to be supported by state mon
eys without the authority of the gov
ernor, except, of course, the insane,
whose status is determined by the
court: and when the governor is con-
vinced that department should be
transferred to some other institution,
he, and he only, with the same eXcep-
tion should have the authority to
do So"
