state hospital for the insane, with a
view to ascertaining whether or not
any of them were able to pay at least
q part of their keep, was able to find

hardly probable that there are more
than a dozen York county people in
the asylum who could pay even a part
Of the expenses Of their keep or who
have relatives who would be able to
bear this expense.
