The following communication from
the State Board of Control, relative
to the erection of County Asylum
in this County, was read and on mo-
ton was ordered to be filed in the
office of the County Clerk for refer
ence.
Madison, Wis, March 3, 1909
Hon. William Hooper, Chairman,
County Board, Wood County, Grand
Rapids, Wisconsin.
Dear Sir:-At a meeting of the
Board held today, the application of
Wood County for a license to build a
County Asylum for the chronic in
sane, was taken up and discussed.
The Board decided to grant your
County a license to erect a County
Asylum upon condition that it first
secure a suitable site to be approved
by the Board, such site to consist
of a farm containing not less than
400 acres. 1t is important that a
farm of at least that number of acres
be secured, because the inmates are
better adapted to performing work
ON a farm, than to be employed in
any other way. We find that where
county asylums have large farms con-
nected with them, that they are not
only profitable to the County, but
they furnish means to the coun-
ty asylum officers to employ the pa
tients, and patients that are en-
ployed are more easily controlled and
cared for than those who are unem-
ployed. At the present time we be-
lieve that good land can be procured
in Wood County at reasonable
price, while if the matter of the pur-
chase is delayed, the price will be ma
terially increased.
We are pleased to be able to
grant your County a license, and
will be glad to assist you in any
way we can in the matter of plans
for your institution. If there is any
information that you desire concern
ing the cost, etc. of the County Asy-
lums recently built, we will be glad
to obtain and furnish you such in
formation, We will also if you de-
sire send for your examination plans
of County Asylums recently built
Respectfully,
State Board of Control
By L. B. Dresser,
President.
Grand Rapids, Wis, May 3, 1909.
County Board of Supervisors, Grand
Rapids, Wisconsin.
Gentlemen:-I desire at this time
to call your attention to the fact
that it is an absolute necessity that
a sidewalk be built from Fifth Street
South along the street leading to
the County Training School, along
the grounds of the Board of Ed
ucation and of the County Training
School grounds this season. The
City of Grand Rapids expects to put
in it's part of this sidewalk and | am
directed to request that the County
Board make the proper appropria-
ton at this session of the Board to
cover the building of the sidewalk
along the grounds of the County
Training School.
Very respectfully yours,

If Gebbia is hanged for the La
mana murder it will be the first
execution for the awful crime
which deeply stirred all Louisiana.

today made public the first change in
the old force in his office when he
named Mrs. Phil Eastman as
Examiner in the building and loan de
partment of the office in place of ].

statistical clerk in the office of the
state superintendent of schools, and
before coming to Topeka had held a
position IN the government offices at
Washington. She is one of the most
competent and popular employees in
the state house and her promotion TO
a more responsible position in the
bank commissioner office was well
deserved in the estimation of her
many friends
1t is expected that the new bank
commissioner now that he has
broken the ice, will soon make the
rest of his new appointments and
changes in his old force
Last Friday night Mr.. Dolley sent
out application blanks for member

post association to the 500 state
banks and has already had returns
from 43 banks and these only await

of the 500 state banks to join the
state association by the end OF the
year.
