ALEXANDER CITY MAN
 DIES SUDDENLY AFTER TALK TO KIWANIS CLUB

ALEXANDER CITY, Ala. Dec. IT, l (Specia1)-I Frohsin. one of Alex ander city's most prominent citizens, died suddenly at II o'clock Tuesday night, after he had finished a speech at the Kiwanis banquet. His speech was along the lines of Kiwanis ideals and just before he died he had made the statement that Kiwanis ideals make better men.
 MT. Frohsin was GO years of age and had been in business here for more than 20 years. He was president of the local Advertising club, a mem Der of the Chamber of Commerce, the Kfwanis club. a member of Knights of Pythias and a Mason, and had for a number of years been on the board of education.
 Upon arrival of members Of his int mediate family the funeral arrange ments will be completed.
  before the end of his term, January l5, will issue an order releasing a continuing appropriation of $150,00O
 Work has already started on the construction of the dormitory, though the building will not be ready for use for two or three months The dormitory will care for 200 inmates. The expenditure will be made only as the work progresses, but the gov ernor will authorize the release of the entire amount before the end of his term because the act provides that if the money is not used by the end of his administration it will bs reverted to the general fund.
 For many months the crying need at the Bryce hospital has been for an additional building. Every room has been counted and many persons have not been accepted for treatment because there was no place to put them. The result is that scores of persons who are insane are being cared for as best as possible in various sections of the state. Not many private hospitals arc equip ped to furnish the proper treatment and care for persons afflicted with mental disorders. Each day the Bryce hospital is forced to refuse admission to persons who probably could be restored to their normal mental condition of they were able to obtain the treatment which the state is providing at the insane hos pital.
 The new dormitory will be modern in every respect and designed es- pecially for the use to which it will be dedicated. In addition to the construction of the new dormi- tory, tho state. during Governor Kilby's administration, has construct ed 8 modern power plant for the heating of the many buildings which form the complement of structures; has built a kitchen removed from the main building which eliminated a disagreeable condition that has existed for many years and has renovated and reconstructed the various buildings, including the placing of new flooring.
 Important Ruling Made
 The states prominent investment and improvements in the convict sys- tenn may be distributed over the four year period and the present quad rennium need not be charged against the particular year in which the in- vestment was actually made, accord ing to the opinion of Judge James J Mayffeld special assistant attorney general, which was made to Cover nor Kilby Wednesday,. The result is that the states investment in inn rroyements in the convict system ag- gregating $1,203,so5.es, will be dis tributed over the past four years in stead of being charged directly to the year in which the state actually invested the money.
 The opinion of Judge Mayfield is important not when considered from the standpoint of the present quad rennium but from the standpoint of the years to come. The state con structed Kilby prison during the past two fiscal years. The greatest ex- penditure was made during the past fiscal year. If the state were forced to charge to cost of the permanent investment to the past fiscal year in- stead of the quadrennium records of the state convict fund would show
