Another insane Asy lum Is Asked.

The Board OF Trustees of the State
Charitable Institutions concluded it's
meeting at Little Rock Tuesday, after
adopting the biennial report in re-
gard to the State Hospital for Ner-
vous Diseases and awarding the con-
tracts for the months supplies for the
charitable institutions.
In its biennial report the board rec
ommends that the law providing for
the lighting of the State Hospital for
Nervous Diseases by the plant operat-
ed at the penitentiary be repealed;
that a central heating plant be in
stalled at the institution with suffi-
Gent power to operate an electric
lighting plant. The board states that
for the year ending September 80,
1907, the amount paid to the pen
itentiary for lighting the institution
was $3,25580, and for the year end
ing September 80, 1908, the amount
paid was $5,22SS1, total for the two
years of $8,4S4.61. The necessity for
some relief in this direction is pointed
out by the board by recalling the fact
that the items of fuel and heat for the
Intuition for the past two years have
amounted to 40,596.95.
Attention is called to the crowded
condition of the institution and the
necessity for the establishment of
another asylum. The board recon-
mends additions to the present institu-
ton Or the aSta b1iShment Of new
one in some other portion of the state.
The board suggests that another in
stitution in some healthful locality,
built on the cottage plan, with sew
eral hundred acres of good agricul-
tural land adjoining, to which could
be assigned the chronic insane and the
epileptic, might be made largely self
supporting, and at the same time be
greatly beneficial to the patient.
In view of the prevalence of tuber-
culosis among the cows from which
the supply of milk for the institution
has been obtained, the board recon-
mends that the legislature appro-
pirate $4,000 for the purchase of new
all to be examined thoroughly by a
competent veterinarian and subject to
the tuberculin test before they are
paid for. The destruction of the old
barn is recommended and that the
premises be thoroughly disinfected
before the new herd of COWS is placed
upon them.
