AS of the same date, DIR. Daniel
Trigg. Jr.. then the acting superintend-
.ent OF the Southwestern Hospital ut
Marion. makes the following comment
In his annual report upon the lack
OF room at his institutions:
'AlthouRll the hospital has been
crowded almost to overlooking dur
ing the past year. yet no case has
been refnsed admission after proper
application had been made. Cutie
number OF th,,se admitted were
old and infrm ua Is shown In Table
H.. These cnses were received only
Rfter repeated efforts on our. part
to Induce their relatives to keep
them at home. In II few similar
cnxen our efforts were success full.
Eat the end Of the year there
remained on file seven applications
for ndmisaion lfour male and three
femulel. For various reasons there
has been am unavoidable delay In
removing these pntlcnts to the hos
nttnl. but as soon ms 1t Is expedient
to do SO and proper arrang ements
can be made. they will be received"

clally the completion of the remod-
cling of the bnlance of the sanitary

building to relieve the present
OvercrOwded condition OF the
wards. and the Importance of hnv-
ing additional land for the farms
