HEARING ON APPROPRIATION.
Money Wanted for New EpiIeptic
Colony Buildings.

The legislative committee on appro-
priations will give hearing on a bill
for an appropriation for the epileptic
colony at Mansfield Depot, on Wed
nesday, May 10, at 1.3J o'clock in room
"a, third floor, west side of the capitol.
Hartford. The board of trustees, after
3 full investigation and in order 10 al
low of tbs plans to be carried out in
the most approved scientific and eco
nomical way, have decided to ask for
an appropriation of $3.50, 900. This will
cover in large part the blans for some
time to come the construction of a
spur railroad track three-quarters Of
a mile long, the administration build
ing,aS Well as the various utility build
ings, such as heat, power and light
plant, kitchen, bakery, laundry, cold
storage and service buildings, togeth-
err with four ward buildings, two for
each sex. The trustees believe that
these buildings should be large enough
or so constructed as to be able to add
thereto to provide for an ultimate col
ony of 500 patients and it is believed
that the building of the spur track will
save enough on the first contract let
out by bid to more than pay for itself,
and then it will be permanent and
lasting saving and economy.
It is expected that a large delegation
of Wilhmantic citizens will attend the
hearing in favor of the passage of the
bill favoring the appropriation DIR.
w. T.. Higgins, secretary of the board
of trustees, has received word from Su-
perintendent DR.. David F. Weeks of
the SI1iIlman, n. J., epileptic colony
that he viii be on hand to speak in
favor of the appropriation. The trus-
tees desire to make provision for al

sly in the state of Connecticut.
