IN addition to the above We have
completed and turned over to the
hospital authorities one br4ch two

We have made alterations and
changes in the old Grimes house,
which is now being occupied by Dr.
Jenkins, one of the assistant ply
sicianS.
We call especial attention to the
fact tina the entire system of un-
sanitary plumbing and obsolete
plumbing fixtures in the several wards
on the male side have been torn away
and q new and modern system, WITH
modern fixtures. has been substi-
tuted in their place.
The sewerage from the main in
stitution Which was formerly dis
charged into a raVine in the rear IF

into Rocky Rranch and which was
the cause Of great complaint, has

We also call especial attention To
the fact that the new male annex

steam, which had heretofore gone to

the new and old buildings, has been

ing re-wired So that it can be lighted
by electricity. 1t was found cheaper
and more practicable to use eIectricit,
Tor lighting the hospital than to use
+, fas, ana as l. oil wiring through
the building was unsuitable and had
: been condemned by the State Insur

cessary to install entirely new wirine
for the old buildings.
After thorough investigation ant
examination, and after oming to tn
conclusion that it would be cheape1
for the State to buy water from tn
Wake Water Company, we secured {

Company by which water is now be

We also, after a most painstakin:

that it would be cheaper AMI to tn,
