ton with its Hospital for the insane.
Experts have told state officials that
the soil ON the farm will raise amy
thing that can be grown in Kansas.
Still other experts have attested
that the Pawnee river which skirts
the big farm ON the west and south,
affords sufficient water for all pur.
poses. Deep water wells have be n
sunk. These insure the state ample
water in the driest year ever known
In Kansas.
The $4,000 appropriation for the
new hospital has paid the original
purchase price Of the 1000 acres Of
land, has built and equipped the frs
cottage, built and installed the heat
ing and lighting plant, purchased the
big engines, built the fumes and
bitches for the biggest irrigation pro
ject in the state, painted buildings
purchased livestock and farming
equipment, and left a Surplus suffi'
Gent to built at least one more cot
tage and to maintain the institution
and meet the payroll and maintenance
expense until after the session Of
the 1915 legislature.
When Charles Chandler, state archi
tect, planned and located the build
ings at Larned, he declared that the
new hospital would be a model Of
state institutions. Since that day
Chandler has worked to make the
new asylum site the most beautiful
and valuable Of state properties. Nov
state officials are willing to concede
that Chambers dream has almost
come true.
Five big red brick buildings, will
tile and concrete floors, fireproo
walls and tile roofs. That is tae
plan for the cottages. Modern in ev.
cry detail, well ventilated, e,ectrtr
lighted, hot air heated, hot and cold
running water, almost perfect santa
ton. Those are features.
The one cottage now opened will
comfortably care for 10 patients
Built in keeping with the plans for
the modern new cottages at the
Topeka and OsawatOmie hospitals

stored the groceries and supplies for
the Institution.
A big steel water tower, holding
5000 gallons Of water, has been built
near the new cottage and the water
pressure and supply insures ampls
fire protection
Water at the hospital was tested
by Prof. Hoad before the site was &C.
cepted by the state. Prof. Hoad's
report is to the effect that the water
is almost 100 per cent pure and the
supply unfaihng.
No female patients will be accepted
at the Larned hospital until more cot
tages are completed. The 40 male pa
tients taken from the Topeka and
0sawatomie hospitas-2O from each
institution-will be uesd to work oil
the farm. They will harvest most of
the crops and the work ON the farm
will be handled by the state at a
minimum expense. Patents now in
the Hospital were carefully selected
because of their physical ability tt
work on the farm, and will do the
bulk Of the work.
A dairy herd of 80 Holstein COWS
was recently purchased from the Par.
sons hospital with funds from the
appropriation for the Larned institu-
ton. 1t is the plan of the Board Of
Control to make the dairy herd an
important feature Of the big farm.
AS soon as the irrigation project
is fully under way and crops are
planted, drives will be built through
the grounds, flower gardens planted
anu the coltage GROUNDS S0dded 70
blue grass. Laned business men
have shown their interest in making
the Hospital an attractive spot and
have planned for the building of a
scenic drive along Pawnee creek frcr
Larned to the Hospital site. This
new road will be completed this SUM
mer.
Located but a mile from the main
line Of the Santa Fe, the Board OF
Control has arranged for the building
Of a spur from the main track t
the Hospital grounds, and supplies
and building material will in the flu.
ture be delivered IN car lots at the
door Of the Hospital without extra
cost to the state.

NEW CITY COUNCIL MEETS
AND PERFECTS ORGANIZATION

The old council met last Mon
day to close up affairs and see to
it that the newly elected alder
man were properly initiated.
Routine matters were attended
to and then the old council ad-
journed sine die. The new
councilmen are R. L. Mcbride
from the second and w. J. Egan
from the third ward, and they
are now comfortably sitting on
the job.
The reports of the town clerk
and town treasurer were received
and examined and placed on file.
No new nominations were SUBJ
mitted so the old officers are
holding on.
1t was decided to improve the
street near the bridge by having
some gravel hauled in and drain
cut to permit the water to escape
the middle of the roadway.
The indebtedness of the town
shows to have been reduced dur
ing the past year about $3.50. 90,
and another economical year,
without any accidents to care
for, will find the town out of
debt.
This state of affairs is very
encouraging and there is not a
citizen of Roman who will find
any fault with the town getting
out of hook.
