In compliance with the Henderson res

following committee has been appointed
by President Slaton and Speaker Holder
TO investigate conditions at the Milledge-
Vile state asylum for the insane:
Senators Mclean, Longley, Conley and
Griffith; Representatives Henderson OF
Irwin, McCrory of Schley, Brown Of
Fulton, Carswell of Wilkinson, Tuggle of
Troup Baker of Lumpkin and Brown of
Murray.
1T is the most disgraceful and worst
managed institution in the state de-
clared Joe Hill Hall, speaking on the res
olution, but there's not a man in Geor-
gia strong enough to wipe 1t out I've
been here conscientiously fighting it for
years. l know It's rotten to the core.
But what's the use of sending another
committee up there to investigate it?
What will you do with the committee's
report when you get it? Why, you will
do just the same as you have with this
present commission report-nothing."
Mr.. Vinson of Baldwin made a spirited
defense of the institution and its man.
agement. He said the institution was
we'll managed, and resented the attacks
against it. But he said it was suffering
for lack of funds.
