 Dr. Harold K. Bancroft, consult ing psychiatrist at the prison, was the first witness. He said that under the law he is required 10 visit the prison once a month. He said that between so and 90 per cent of the prisoners in the insane ward are hopelessly insane. He recommended immediate transfer Of these persons 10 an insane institution in the state. He said conditions in the insane ward are obsolete" Facilities for treating these inmates are few. He was questioned by MT.

 Dr. Bancroft said that ''it was a bit of disgrace to Connecticut" He expressed his opinion that in addi- tion to the full time physician who is now employed at the prison there ought 10 be one or two full-time psychiatrists whose duties would be 10 examine prisoners when they came in and to classify them.

N. E. Rossberg, former chair man of the water board, pointed out today that approximately s175 is in the Commercial Trust Co. under control Of tree committee organ ized in 1915 for the purpose of trees lor use on streets where there were no trees and he urges that this sum be turned into the fund organized by Mayor George A. Quigley for re- lief of the unemployed,
 MT. Rossberg stated that the com mittee was appointed by hhe mayor with the sanction of the common council to look after trees owned by the city. Shortly before the United States entered the World var, the committee purchased a number of young trees and sold them to prop city owners.
 When the country went to war, the committee suspended it's actiVi ties and since that time, it has done nothing. Mir. Rossberg feels that the money in the tree com- mittee fund could better be used for relief than for any other purpose and he suggests that the matter be taken before the common council and that it be ordered added to the fund for the unemployed.
