TO transfer at an early date sixty patients

lieve the congestion. which has been
serious factor In the proper management
Of the Lincoln institution, and will make
II possible TO give the remaining patients
the proper care. OF those removed twenty
or twenty-five will be women.
The situation at DR.. Greene's institution
has been serious for more than year,
and during that time many Of the patients
have been obliged TO sleep on the floor
in the dormitories and in the Railways.
Several serious accidents grew out of
these conditions and the typhoid epidemic
which recently existed at the hospital was
chargeable. DR.. Greene contended. to the
overcrowdlng, which interfered with the
most effective sanitation. More employees
were added to the stan. but their efforts
were less effective than they would have
been with plenty of room for the proper
care OF the patients.
The transfer Of these inmates to the
Hastings asylum will provide more room
for the dipsomaniacs who are committed
from the counties. The oficials have been
discouraging commitments recently be-
cause Of the lack OF room.

is in good condition and he is able to take
care Of the increase in the population
