REPORT OF COMMITTEE.
Honorable Board OF Trustees, Georgia
State sanitarium, Milledgeville, Ga.
Mr.. President and Gentlemen: Your COM
mittee under the resolution passed at the
July meeting beg leave to submit this
their report:
Before undertaking our task it was
deemed best to request your superintend-
ent to get from his staff such sugges-
lions as they thought would be for the
good of the sanitarium, and improve the
work OF their respective sections. Our re-
quest was at once cheerfully complied
with. and the report sent through the SUI
perintendent to your committee.
The suggestions contained in these re-
ports showed not only the great interest
taken in the work by your staff, but was
also of great assistance to the committee
in their work. In order to make better
comparison with your institution 1t was
thought best to visit several of the large
insane hospitals in the west, and then go
north and east. This was done, and dur
ing the IA days OF our stay visited the fol-
lowing hospitals: Central Indiana Hospi-
tai for the Insane, at indianapolis. Ind;
the Toledo and Massillon state hospitals OF
Ohio (these hospitals are on the cottage
or pavilion plan which is the modern
idea); Manhattan State hospital on
Wards island came next to be followed
by visits to the New Jersey State hospi-
tai at Trenton, n. J.; the Philadelphia
Hospital for the Insane and the Pennsyl-
vania hospital in Philadelphia The lat
ter, while not a charitable institution like
that under your care, was built along the
same line, and gave us some valuable
ideas Of hydro-therapy, gymnasium. and
out-of-door games and exercises. Our
work OF investigation ended with st.
Elizabeth's, or the government hospital
for the insane at Washington. D. c. At
all OF these institutions your committee
was met with the greatest kindness and
cordially, and every opportunity given
them to go through their buildings to see
their various methods Of MANAGEMENT and

Supply Of Coal for the
Ensuing Year.
COMPANIES GIVEN A JOLT

At the meeting Of the board of pub
lie works today the following con-
tracts for coal to be furnished the city
were awarded: $50 tons Pocahontas
mine run, Mather Bros, $2.75, for use
at city building; 200 tons carbondale
mine run for crematory, $2.35; so tons
Pocahontas lump for hose houses. A
Harsch Company, 1928; 60 tons Kama
wha A-inch lump, for street roller,
Mather Bros, $2.7O.
The claim that the local coal dealers
have to pay the same for coal, to sell
it for the same, was given severe jolt
when the bids were opened today.
There was greater competition than
ever. nine firms entering bids to sup
ply the fuel. The light plant will use
between 5000 and 10000 tons and this
contract is the largest. The board de-
layed in awarding 1t.

Business Men and 7. N. B. c.
Members Met Last Evening
And Take Preliminary Steps
For the Affair.
HUSTLING CLUB is
ASKED TO PROMOTE IT
Owing to Success Made of the
Affair Last Year Merchants
Think Organization Should
Be Pilot Again.

Very optimistic reports, relative to
the part the merchants and manufac-
turers will take in the fall festival. to
be held next fall. were made at the
mass meeting. held under the auspices
Of the Y. NJ. B. c. at the city building
last evening The meeting was fairly
well attended by members Of the
club and especially so by non-mem-
bers who were interested in the sue
cess of the second fall festival.
w. NJ Bailey. first vice president
Of the club presided and G. w. Mer-
rill was chosen to act as secretary
pro tenn. The club members had ask.
ed that the fall festival be managed
by the citizens as well as by them
selves. However, the consensus of
opinion, expressed last evening, was
for the club to do this. Non-members
promised to assist whenever possible.
All Enthusiastic.
Judging from the enthusiastic man.
ner in which number of the leading
business men have spoken about the
affair. it will be much greater sue
cess than the festival given last fall.
Business men, in practically every In
stance stand ready 70 give twice as
much to the affair as they did last
year and will also equip floats for the
industrial parade.
It was emphasized by q number Of
the merchants and club members who
spoke. that the promoters should keep
at 1t until the festival was over. If
the affair is managed properly. there
is no question in the minds OF the
members but that It will be several
times the success of what it was last
year. The same promoters who man
aged the festival last year will be back
OF the 1909 festival. This will count
for much, as they have the experience
and can save much money, from the
knowledge gained last year.
w. P. O'Neal, after hearing express
sions from several favoring the festi-
val, moved that it was the sense Of
the mass meeting that another festival
be held. It was unanimously adopted.
Perry j. Freeman moved that the
Y NJ. B. C. have charge of the affair.
which was also unanimously carried.
The club at its next regular meeting,
in June, will determine whether the
members want the club to take this re-
sponsibility.
Among those who endorsed the festi-
val were Stephen Kuth. who spoke
from the standpoint Of a farmer. w. p.
ONeal, Charles Morgan. H. H. Engle-
bert, p. ]. Freeman and several others.

Report Of President
The one criticism on our building
was that we had built too- largely for
Richmond" Now. we find ourselves
In need of more room Our dormi-
tory rooms all filled. many of them
having two occupants. the lockers all
rented. and more purchased and
these about all rented. The billiard
and pool tables are insufficient for
the number who want to enjoy this
sport The boys quarters is taxed
to its comfortable capacity. The
problem of taking care of the educa-
tional classes the coming winter al
ready confronts us. The Spa was
first to outgrow its quarters. The
kitchen upstairs was long ago put in
to permanent use to supply eatables
for the tables. and the space for serv-
ing or eating has been doubled BY
adding the corner social room. This
was done by portable screens. The
other departments are not crowded,
but will soon be comfortably filled.
We now have a membership of 73S
men and boys. 40S men and $50 boys
between 10 and Is years OF age. It
now looks as though our membership
