TO URGE NEEDED
SANITAR|Uh LAW
GOVERNOR WILL ADDRESS LEeIs-
GATURE IN REGARD TO EVIL
AT MILLEDGEVILLE.

ATLANTA, Ca. June 17.-Governor
Harris viii devote special attention
in his message to the Legislature. ac-
cording to persons in close touch with
with him, to the subject of improv-
ing conditions at the state sanitari-
UNI for the insane. at Milledgeville
At the present time this institution
is taking care of almost as many in
chris ties, paralytics and others who
are not insane. strictly speaking. as
it is of persons who have lost their
minds.
In addition to the necessity for re-
modifying this condition by the en-
actment of legislation that will limit
the facilities of the sanitarium to
persons for whose benefit it is in
tended, there is also a very pressing
need for new buildings, as all of the
buildings at the presnet are grossly
overcrowded and the death rate of
the sanitarium is higher than it
should be on this account.
These facts will be brought to the
attention of the legislature by the
governor, and it is believed that the
situation will be corrected.
