at their November meeting this
week decided that all persons liv-

that they cannot earn living.
"Peace-time" veterans, with honor
able discharge are entitled to same
hospital or domiciliary care under
same conditions, provided they were
discharged from service on account
of disability incurred in line of duty.
"As of May Is, 1895" the survey
reports there were 1,470 vacant
beds in the domiciliary section of
the Dayton home; 123 in the splen-
didly equipped modern general hos

The Sandusky home has a nor
NAL capacity of 200 occupants ana
according to the survey in 1884 had
a per capita cost of $3.50. 90
per year, one of the highest
of any state institution, and compar-
ing to 1912 per capita cost at Lima
state hospital and $155 at Toledo
state hospital.
Recommending that the San
dusky home be converted into a
hospital for the mentally i'll, the
survey cites the state needs another
hospital for the insane, striklngly
demonstrated in Cuyahoga county,
where, because all of the present
state hospitals are overcroWded, 1T
is necessary to care for more than a
thousand insane patients in eXpen-
sive local and private sanatoria at a
cost of over $1,000,000 per year.
AS of January /, 1885, the cost per
day per patient in the local and prl-
vate sanatoria was $3.02 average
compared to As cents per day cost
in state hospitals.
The survey states ''all Of the l.
231 patients hospitalized by Cuya-
hoga county, with exception of 200
undergoing diagnosis at the City
hospital, were state wards and
should have been under care in
