requesting the State Board of
Control to make survey for the
location of a new hospital for the
feeble minded.
Whereas, the hospital facilities
for the care of the feeble minded
persons in the State of Minnesota
are totally inadequate to afford &C
commodations to those in need Of
such facilities and those who have
been committed by the several
probate courts In the State Of
Minnesota, to the care and custody
of the State Board of Control;
and
Whereas, the mental condition Of
many such feeble-minded persons
SO committed is such that it IS
dangerous for them to remain at
large, in that they constitute a
constant menace to society, and
that number in excess of fourteen
hundred have been so committed to
the custody of the State Board of
Control and that there are no
hospital facilities for their care
and treatment; and
Whereas, there exists in the State
Of Minnesota only one institution
in which said feeble-minded per-
sons may receive proper training
and treatment; which said institu-
ton is SO over-crowded that it is
necessary for persons so committed
to wait varying terms extending at
times to three years before they
can be admitted to said institution
for training and care; and
Whereas, there exists at the
present time in this State a def
mite necessity for a new institu-
ton to be used solely for the pur-
pose of the care and training of the
feeble-minded persons now in the
custody of the State Board of Con-
troll who are unable, because of
lack of facilities, to receive care
and training in such institutions;
and
Whereas, in the present session of
the Legislature many bills have
been introduced requesting the es-
Enlistment of such new institu-
ton in various cities in the State;
and
Whereas, within the limited time
at its disposal, the Legislature can
make no definite decision as to
proper location of such an institu-
ton;
Now, therefore, be it resolved that
the House Of Representatives, the
Senate concurring therein request
the State Board of Control to make
an immediate survey for the pur-
pose of recommending to the next
session Of the Legislature, either
regular or special, the location of
an additional hospital for feeble
minded persons;
Be it further resolved that said
recommendation should include the
size and approximate cost of con-
struction and equipment Of such
institution, taking into consider
alton as to such location the rail-
way and highway facilities, and
such other factors conducive with
the most economical maintenance
and operation Of such new insti-
tuition.
