County Commissioners John Nc
Closkey and John Kitley said the
institution at Julietta will be loaned
the State free as temporary quarters
II the State asylums are too crowded
to take the patients.
Bahr's Plan
'I see DIR. Bahr out at the Central
Hospital for the Insane says the
State will take them II Marion
County will provide temporary
quarters" said Kiuey. That's fine.
They can have Julietta, with It's mil
lion dollar equipment, as a fine set
OF temporary quarters"
Cassius L. Hogle, president OF the
Marion County Council. said today
that other members OF the body are
backing him in his stand against
appropriating county funds for JUL
eta to care for the State wards who
have been quartered or Marion
County for twenty years.
THE 1925 Legislature appropriated
$500 to care for the patients at
Julietta, l have been informed by
Senator Robert Moorhead, who was
on the budget committee" said
Hogle. 'I was an item in the gen
eraI appropriation bill. That gives
the State the money, and the com
rnissioners say they will donate the
buildings, so what is there TO hold
of the State assuming its Just
burden?"

Julietta. after the epilepdcs are re-
moved to the State Epileptic Village

the State Institution for the Feeble
Minded.
There are a good many out there
at Julietta who are not insane, and
who belong IN those other State In
stitutions," said Hogle.
County officials take the stand
the State has steadfastly refused TO
assume care Of Marion County in
sane on the plea that the State
asylums are full, at the same time
refusing. in the name Of economy.
to provide adequate State facilities.
AS a result local taxpayers have
been victims Of a double tax, Off
cials say.
Official Approves
The plan that the Central Hos
pital for the Insane operated at
Julietta ms a colony or emergency
addition appears a feasible solution
Of "a critical situation" declared
John A. Brown. chairman Of the
State board Of charities.
IF there is legal obstacle to
the Central Hospital assuming con-
troll Of Julietta as a gift. the county
could rent it TO the State at a
sum. say 81 a year, thus
reaching the same end" he said.
Brown said he wifi ask an opinion
OF State Attorney General Gilliom.
Money to operate Julietta would
be available. It was thought, under
the appropriation clause for the
Central Hospital which sets aside
from the general fund $3.50 for each
patient additional above the basis

HOW TO GET SERVICE
FROM YOUR DOCTOR

Always call him between II p.
m. and 5 a. m. He might be busy
at other times.
Always make it point to say,
"Of course I'll see another doctor
and get his opinion, He will be
gratified to hear it.
Always let his account run as
long as you can then when yon cali
up some time and ask hiLl t. hurry
and come right away, it makes
him come faster, because he thinks
you have "taken a tumble" and
also intend to pay your bills in a
hurry.
It's a poor rule that doesn't
work both ways.
