ROCK COUNTY INSANE ASYLUM AND POOR
HOUSE.
Trustees Annual Report.
70 the Honorable, the Board of Super
yisors of Rock county
Gentlemen:-As required by law the
Board of Trustees of the Rock County
Asylum and Poor House respectfully
submits herewith it's annual report for
the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1905.
The past year, like former ones at the
Institution, has been fairly prosperous.
The Trustees, as has been their Gus
tom heretofore, have made the usual
monthly visits to the institution during
the past year, inspecting the depart
ments and wards thereof from time to
time, and have always found good order
and discipline prevailing, the inmates
well cared for and apparently as happy
and contented as such people can expect

We take great pleasure in compliment
ing Superintendent Killam for the eff

care and management of the institution.
Everything looks neat and tidy and there
is nowhere any indication of carelessness,
neglect or extravaganza. Mrs. Killam,
the matron, is also entitled to due credit
for the close attention and kindness
shown these poor unfortunates whose
welfare she tries to promote and whose
sufferings she has done much to allevi-
ate.
We also take pleasure in commencing
the able corps of employees at the insti-

kindness and close attention to duty,
which has aided in no small degree in
making the Rock County Asylum for
the Chronic Insane one of the best, if
not the best managed, institution of its
kind in the state. 1t is an institution of
which every citizen of the county, and
justly SO, feels proud.
The general health of the inmates of
both the Asylum and Poor House has
been as good as could be expected of
people in their conoiuon. (See physi
clans report attached 1t is true there
has been some sickness as usual but the
death rate has been much lower than
last year.
The death rate this year was only .034
per cent. Last year it was .O63 per cent.
At the Poor House this year the death
rate has been only .122 per cent. Last
year it was 2 per cent, nearly, showing
conclusively that the sanitary conditions
prevailing at the institutions have been
