A bill to discourage divorce to local

Thornton of Fairfax county at the re-
quest. it is asid. Of a number OF residents
of Alexandria county. Should this bill

The measure requires that when pro-
ceeding are instituted copy Of the order

The bill also requires that II q CORE

Complaints Against Management.

The complaints Of residents OF Congress
Heights and sections of the city ada
cent to the hospital regarding the hospital
management made when several insane
patients escaped from Howard Hall are
discussed in the report at length. 1t is
proposed to aid "A masonry wall to a
height of twenty-four feet, completely
surrounding the building and at a dis
lance OF ffty-six feet from the building,
embankment makes it impossible to keep
quite so far away. 1t is explained. 1.-The
advantages of solving the problem in this
way are manifold. In the first place, aside
from the structural defects in Howard
Hall which have been mentioned-namely.
the windows open ng on the outside, which
are Intellectually protected-the building
is well adapted for the purpose to which
1t Is put. The wall will remedy these
points of weakness Then. again. the pres
emit Howard Hall building is built in the
form of a hollow square. the only place
that pat ents may go for exercise and
air being the interior courtyard. This is
brick-paved, practically without shade
and so closed in by the building that there
is very little circulation of air within. AS
a result. this courtyard is sitting hot and
almost unfnhabitable in the summer time.
while at best it offers a poor solution for
the problem of exercise, because all of
the e. ght wards have to use it together,
and prisoners who perhaps have been kept
apart by being on different wards are
able to get into communication in the
courtyard.
THE building Of wall around Howard
Hall will give a large airy exercise
ground, practically doing away with the
use of the sinner court. 1t Will also be
possible to spit up this area into Sec
tions SO as to keep several wards sepa-
rate while out of doors as we'll as with
in.

Increase Of Capacity.

I'm addition to the above advantages a
plan has been worked out, which is pre-
scented herewith, for increasing the ac-
commodation of this building. 1t will be
seen from this plan that additional wings
can be built, Increasing the total capac-
ity of the building by seventy-six rooms.
and all this can be done within the wall
as above designed and constructed. bring
ing only one corner of one of the new
wings at a minimum distance Of twenty
eight feet from the wall, which is SUI
ficiently far for safety, in accordance
with all our information.
I'm order, however. to build a wall
about Howard Hall another problem
must first be solved. The electrical de-
partment Of the institution. together with
its stores Of supplies. is housed in the
basement 1t has been impossible to dis
cover any other place to which this depart
ment could be removed, as every building
on the premises is occupied to its capacity.
As part of the general plan, then, ii
becomes necessary to build a shop and
store building. which can be built just
outside Of the proposed wall at a distance
therefrom of sixteen feet, and which will
contain the stores of the electrical depart
ment, so that the basement of Howard
Hall can be vacated. This building will
occupy approximately the site which used
TO be occupied by the annex, and can be
for other departments Of the hospital
which are now housed in ramshackle.

SATISFIED
WITH INSANE WARD
President of County Board
Sees No Necessity of a
Padded Cell.

The new insane ward at the county
Jail. which was recently constructed
at the approximate cost of $4,000, will
be accepted by the board of county
commissioners, although the ward has
no padded cell and in addition to this
1t appears that there are other defects
about the construction of the building
which should be remedied before the
structure is approved and accepted by
the commissioners.
Robert II. Beeson, president of the
board of commissioners, contends that
the ward seems to be up to specifica-
tions and declares that there Is no
need for a padded cell. AS the ward is
now arranged there is nothing to pre-
vent lunatic from dashing his brains
out against the brick walls.
When this subject was placed be-
fore the commissioners at their meet
ing this morning Sheriff Steen declar-
ed that it would be necessary to place
any violently insane person in the Jail
proper In order that he sould be watch
ed and that attempts on his part to
injure himself could be prevented by
the turnkey and prisoners in the JAIL
The sheriff also said that water is
standing in the cellar in the insane
ward. President Beeson said that this
Ia probably due to the recent rains and
that the water leaked into the cellar
The doors in the ward which, at
first. were not solidly adjusted to the
castings have been fixed. it is said
Persons who have examined the
ward declare that there is little ven.
tilation in it and that there is also lit
tie light.
Whether a padded cell will be plac-
ed in the ward il not known.
