and a flow OF 8, 900 barrels day. 1t
cost practically $4,000 and is one Of
the most valuable improvements for
the institution that has been Sc
cured, as it furnishes an unlimited
water supply, and better fire protec-
tion.
The new fire proof ward building,
for violent male patients was con-
structed as far as the appropriation
went by Contractor Powers of Fargo.
The contract for the foundation
walls, floors, roof, ETC., as far as the
work has progressed being s3l, 100.
The building will be entirely fire
proof and will accommodate II pa
tients, the sleeping rooms Of which
will be single rooms, which will pre-
vent placing two disturbed patients
in the same bed, and also prevent
much trouble arising from that ac-
count.
The tuberculosis hospital recon-
mended by Supt. Baldwin was con-
sidered of sufficient Importance by
the legislature to warrant an appro-
priation of s25, 600 for its construc-
tion. This building, when erected,
will be used for the special care OF
tubercular patents, Of which there
are over IS now at the institution;
and it will also be used for the care
of patients having contagious dis.
eases. This is one Of the most i'm
portant improvements from the sani-
tary point of view that has yet been
secured for the hospital.
A new and complete telephone
system will be installed which is at
present badly needed. The recon-
mendation Of the superintendent for
an extension to the bakery, to. the
kitchen building, Improvements to
the grounds, additional land, new
boilers, sanitary repairs, ETC., were
all favorably considered by the legis-
lature. The need of additional land
for farming and the raising OF feed,
was admitted and $4,000 granted for
that purpose. An improved sewer
system which will dispose of the sew
erage at the hospital by means of a
modern, scientific, and sanitary septic
tank, will be put in, and it is stated
that when completed and in opera
|ftion that. there wi'i esno objections
from any source Or cause sof COM
plaint, as with the ample water sup
ply Of the Institution for flushing
purposes, sewerage will be easily and
satisfactorily disposed of at some
considerable distance from the insti-
tuition, on the east bank of and not
far from the James river.
One of the improvements which
the legislature did not reach at this
session, was the request for a spur
track from the main line of the N.
p. road to the hospital. This will
undoubtedly come in the next few
years, as it will be great saving to
the state.
The following is list of the items
in the appropriation for improve
ments, and are not included in main
tenance and current expenses: and it
is hoped that the executive hand will
not bear too heavily upon them with
the pruning knife.
