REPORT.
Kenosha, Wis, Nov. 10th, 1914
TO the Honorable County Board of SW-
perOisors
Gentlemen:
In addition to my annual report Of
receipts and disbursements as County
Agent for Kenosha County for the first
ten months of the year 1914, / have
also to report upon three visits made
to the Racine County Insane Asylum,
the installation of a new furnace and
new safe in the County Jail and the
building of a new sidewalk in front Of
the County Building, new curb and gut
ter in the rear of the County Building
and along Halberstadt Court.
AS to the Insane Asylum, made my
first visit on February 18th and visited
each and every patient and conversed
with many of them and found all well
and as happy as they might be under
such circumstances with the possible
exception of one. Albert Strong was
suffering from cold and lagrippe, but
he was not serious enough to be con-
fined to his bed.
All sat down to the table to dinner
and were being amply fed when / ar
rived at the institution and | had oc-
casion to see that all had plenty of
good wholesome food. 1t was a cold
day, but the building was warm and
comfortable and / believe many were
more comfortable than they would
have been in their own homes.
/ found at this time fifty-six patients
from Kenosha County being cared for
at this time.
On this visit / also visited Sunny
Rest Sanatorium and found three pa
tients from Kenosha County at this
institution. / visited here during rest
hours and all were comfortably tucked
in bed
In June / made my second visit and
found all well and Institution and all
patients in their usual well kept order
and those who were able and trusted
employed at light work about the farm.
At this time large addition was be-
! ing built to the COW barn and was
nearly completed and which was to-
| gether with the two COW barns previ-
ously erected on the 10th day of July
destroyed by fire. BY the careful super
vision and adequate water system the
| fire was confined to the COW and hay
barns, which were totally destroyed.
/ again visited the Asylum on No
vember Sth and found new barn
erected complete on the old foundation
and cows were tied therein for the first
time. The patients were again checked
up and they as well as the entire insti-
tuition were found to be in excellent
condition.
Shortly after the County Board OF
November, 1913, three of this county's
patients were transferred to the Coun-
ty Asylum at Elkhorn, owing to the
crowCed condition of the Racine Coun-
ty Asylum, and since that time when
patients are transferred from the state
hospital to hospitals for chronic insane
our patients are transferred to Elkhorn
rather than Racine and at present
there are fifteen of Kenosha County pa
! tients being cared for at Elkhorn, one
Louis Singer having died. The follow
