OBSERVATION, WARD OPEN
AT CITY HOSPITAL AGAIN

The psyehopathic ward at the City
Hospital is open again for the recep-
ton of patients for observation as to
their sanity, despite the new law,
which, strictly interpreted, would
make the ward unnecessary.
The law now in effect in regard TO
the commitment of the insane is en-
numbered. Two physicians must ex-
anime the patient; the applicant for
the commitment has to fill out a
blank; the physicians have to make
their reports accompanied by affi-
davits, and the papers have to be
signed in this county by common
pleas judge. All this must be done
on the same day or the commitment
is invalidated. Within forty-eight
hours the patient must be committed
and the case must be heard before
one of the judges within fifteen days.
These provisions worked hardship
in this county where there are from
$50 to 400 patients sent to the Over
brook hospital annually. Through
the efforts of Police Surgeon ]. Henry
Clark and Judge Osborne's willing
ness to interpret the new law liberal
ly the psychopathic ward of the City
Hospital will be used for the tenn
porary confinement of the insane as
before May l, when the present act
became operative.

CANAL INVESTIGATORS
HOPE FOR A SOLUTION

An explanation of the many prob
lens involved in the task of deciding
canal was made by Fred G. Stickel,
jr., secretary of the Morris
Canal Investigating Commission last
night at a meeting Of the Mems As
ISOLATION of the West Presbyterian
Church.
He declared that frequently, when
the canal is discussed. people assert
that it should be Abandoned and the
problem settled once for all. He
maintained that could not be accom-
plished as easily as 1t was suggested
because of the many interests con-
cerned.
Mr.. Stickel went back to the time
the canal was started. in 1924, by the
Morris Canal and Banking Company,
to which a most generous charter
had been granted. He spoke of the
success of the venture until the
operation of the Morris and Essex
railroad when the canal was doomed.
Then the canal was leased in per-
petuity to the Lehigh Valley railroad
| in 1871.
The speaker pointed out that some
! of the canal property is held in fee
| some in reversionary deeds and some
| by condemnation. The attitude of
the various municipalities along the
canal route is another trouble. While
Newark and others favor abandon
ment, others want the waterway pre-
served, and, if possible, enlarged, and
still others would have it become a
parkway.
Mr.. Stickel declared the chief prob
lem upon which the commission was
working is to ascertain the valuation
of the canal If the State wished to
buy 1t before it will revert to the
State at the expiration Of the lease.
He concluded that the commission
hoped to submit a report at the next
meeting Of the Legislature, which
would solve the problem in such a
manner that the interests of the
State and all concerned would be
properly protected.
