COUNTY BOARD
VOTES MONEY
AT A SPECIAL SESSION ADDITION.
AL SU1S ARE ADDED TO TWO
INSTITUTIONS.
From Thursdays Daily

By vote of Is TO IA the county
board of supervisors voted $40, 900 ad
ditional to the building fund of the
Sauk county asylum. When the
plans and specifications were prepared
it was found that the residence of the
superintendent could not be built at
this time unless more money was at
hand. The trustees asked the county
board to add to the appropriation that
the residence might be erected at the
front of the dining hall at this time,
for it would be cheaper and in accord
ance with the demands of the state
board Of control. William RIggert of
Reedsburg, one of the trustees, was
present and stated that the total of
the contracts without the residence
amounted to SOL, 641 and with the resi-
dence, $60,931. This did not include
the architects fees. The original
amount appropriated was $4,000 and
the trustees asked for 500, 900 more to
cover the total cost. The money for
the $45, 900 in bonds had been paid to
the county and the county was now
losing one per cent in interest. Mr..
Riggert said they were powerless so
far as the board of control was. con-
cerned because their demands must be
followed. Some thought the asylum
building might be made smaller, but
with the present number of inmates
and the expected increase, it was
thought best not to re0uce the dimen-
sions. There are 1I6 now and the
building is for 165. There was
also some discussion about the care of
patients from outside the county, but
it was found that the small number
entertained from outside the county
made but little difference. The vote
on apprOpriating the additional $780,
900 was as follows:
Ayes-Barry, Barnett, Behnke,
Buerk1, Clark, Griggs, Halbersleben,
Mears, Perry, Ragatz, Schneider,

cided by the courts. They claimed
