HOTCHKTSS IN
STATEMENT OF
ASYLUM NEEDS
Increased Costs of Opera
ton Deprive Institution
of Essential Things

jamestown, N. D., Jan. 1S.-An ex-
hauSttVe statement OF the nnanclal
condition of the state insane asylum
located here has been prepared by the
superintendent, DR.. w. NJ. Hotchkiss.
II has been found necessary to ask
the legislature to increase the appro-
priation from time to time, and final
ly, the superintendent states, the
amount allowed per capita was IN
creased 20 per cent, that is, from SIS
to $lS per month. The increase IN
prices for the commodities bought by
the institution, however, have been,
on an average, 81 1-2 per cent. This
Is according to the table and explain
alton made public by DR.. Hotchkiss
today.
In regard to the efficiency of the
management of the institution, the
statement adds: "It was necessary to
increase wages to some extent be
cause OF inability to secure help 9th
erwise. Every effort has been made
to get along with the provision that
has been made for the institution
and with much difficulty the session
of 1917 was reached without a deficit
in the hospital finances, but this was
at a cost of decreased efficiency and a
lack of many things that ordinarily
would be considered vitality essential
to the best service of such an instt-
tuition"
The superintendents statement in
cludss a report of the crops raised
during each of the past six years, and
the average value for the five years
ending with 1915 Is found to be about
$2s, 900 more than the value of the
1917 crop figured at even the high
prices that the past season witnessed.
This Is one OF the principal reasons
according to the statement of the
hospital head, that special aid is so
urgently needed.
