LIGHT AND AIR
ARE At PREMIUM
DEFECTS IN STATE HOSPITAL
ARE SHOWN TO THE LEGIS-
LAToRs.
PLANT is BADLY C0NGESTED
Members of the General Assembly
See For Themselves the Physical
Condition at Asylum.

Columb mbia.-About two-thirds Of the
members Of the general assembly
went on tour of inspection through
the State Hospital for the Insane.
Gov. Manning and Arthur P. Herring,
M. D., who made report on improve
ments needed by the institution, &C.
companied the legislators. After the
buildings had been inspected, Dr..
Herring In brief talk explained his
ideas about the changes that should
be made in the buildings with a view
to improving the sanitary conditions
under which the patients live.
The legislators were shown through
almost every building on the hospital
grounds. Judging by expressions, the
defect that impressed them most In
the plant was the lack OF light and
air In the older buildings, especially
those used for negro men and women
and white men. The poor equipment
Of the toilet rooms was in striking con!
trast to what many of the legislators
expected to find at the hospital. The
buildings occupied by negro men and
women and white men were very
crowded. -
The unsatisfactory location of the
kitchens In the Easements of some Of
the buildings, necessitating the re-
moval of the cooked food on trucks
and dumb walters to the dining rooms,
was explained to the inspecting legis-
lators. They saw, too, that the fire
protection was inadequate and the
heating system old and inefficient.
The floors, walls and ceilings Of many
Of the corridors and rooms were bad
ly in need Of repair. s.y =,
