COMPLAIN OF COUNTY HOME
Committee Tells Of NOn-SegregatiOn Of
ColOred Patients and Other Things
AZ Institution.

Largely as a result of an article
that apr cared in the columns of The
Capital recently, calling attention TO
alleged unsanitary conditions exist
ing at the County Aims House at
South River, and particularly regard
ing the nonsegregation cf the colored
patients, Messls. w. Hallam Claude
and Walter II. Hart. comprise a com
mittee that waited upon the County
Commissioners today and asked that
remedial measure along general lines
be taken.
The committee brought out in the
course of the arguments that they had
made personal visit to the institu-
tion and found that conditions in sew
eral ways are not what they ought to
be. The Board was told that the
colored male and female inmates all
were confined in one ward, which was
entirely improper, and that some
action should be taken TO alleviate
this condition at once.
Conditions of sanitation at the
Home also were touched upon, COM
plant was made as to the manner
in which the institution is conduct
ed, such as the character Of the
food served to the patients there.
For instance. it was stated that the
bill of fare was not commensurate
with the amount of money which
the county expends for it, acco rd-
ance with the bills contracted by
the keeper, and that the inmates
were denied certain dishes asked for,
and that the keeper often acted in
an insolent manner toward them.
In the meantime, it was learned
today, the county Board took steps
to havs an inspection of the Home
made, and in this connect on Commits
sioner Walton, of Annapolis and Coun-
ty Engineer Green visited the institu-
tion on Sunday. The Commissioners
have the questions under considera-
tion, and will take steps to meet all
conditions.
The complaint as to the nonsegre-
cation of the colored inmates is not a
new one at all. On the contrary, the
annual report of the State Lunacy
Commission, made five years ago, gave
a Photographic demonstration of how
the colored inmates were all housed
in one ward
