EXPERT ADVICE
Commissioners Go Ahead With
Scheme to Make Asylum
Permanent.
TO PROVIDE MANY JOBS

Disregarding the recommendation
of Henry G. Wright, director of the
hospital and institutional bureau of
consultation of New York City,
that Marion County cease to operate
Julietta as a county asylum for the
incurable insane and that the
patients now. in Julietta be trans
ferred to a State hospital for the in
sane, the county commissioners are
making plans which, if carried out,
will make Julietta a permanent in
stitution.
The county commissioners first, under
the pretense of consolidation, attempted
to combine certain county institutions
The colony plan was discussed with
members of the county council. but as
the expenditure would be large no def
mite action was taken.
The council. at the suggestion Of the
county commissioners, suggested approval
be given to a plan to build an annex to
Julietta, to be used as a hospital ward
for the various county patients at the
poor farm and Julietta.
OBTAIN PLANS FOR
$1OO,O ANNEX.
Under approval of the county council
the commissioners have obtained plans
and estimates for the building OF q
100000 annex to Julietta. AT the next
meeting of the county council the plans
will be discussed.
As another step which will perpetuate
Julietta and block the expert advice OF
Or. Wright, Commissioner Carlin Shank
stated that the commissioners might erect
a large greenhouse at Julietta to be used
to supply the various county institu-
tions with fresh vegetables during the
winter. He claims the commissioners
have a chance to buy an abandoned
greenhouse and move it to Julietta at
a cost much less than new one.
The commissioners also plan to culti-
vate the lands at Julietta and the poor
farm to the limit, so as to provide all
county institutions with vegetables dur
ing the summer.
This program will create many new
jobs to be handed out by the county
commissioners during the city campaign

the hands Of the Legislature in providing
system OF taxation, and said that the

Legislature would result IN q lobby on
the tax question in the Assembly for all
time to come.

resolution does not provide that a uni
form rate shall be established, as the
constitution now provides"

to get at intangibles and sequestered
bonds and money that are hidden from
the assessors. They said 1t would re-
suit in the addition Of large sums Of
money to the various county treasures.

office he would resume the practice OF
law, forming a partnership with the
Secretary Of State, Bainbridge Colby. The

Washington"
The announcement came as a surprise.

dent felt his health was such that he
desired to retire to his home here and,
in comparative quiet, devote the remain
der of his life to writing.

Representative Russell X. BedGood.

pressing the opinion that the bonus
should be paid by the national Govern

ever. was called by Representative Elmer
Sherwood Greene County, to the opposi-
tion of Bedgood to the Sherwood resolu-
tion several days ago asking Congress to
pass the national bonus bill.
Many of those who voted against the
bill did so because they declared the State
was not In financial condition now to
handle the payment OF the approximately
$50 600 900 which would be entailed. They
declared the matter should be left to the
Federal Government. Others objected to
the payment Of the bonus because they
said 1t was commerclalizlug patriotism.
The motion to suspend the rules was
made by Representative George Freeman,
Howard County, and carried, 72 to IA.

The bill was written and introduced
