of his administrative duties to
enable him to give closer super

care of the patients, r. F. Cana

Mr.. Camalier was directed by Sem

Mr.. Camalier told the Senator In
his report that the institution, as a
whole, is one of which Congress and
the District can be proud, that the
accommodations are excellent, the

He found. however, that handling
the food should be improved and
more closely supervised, suggesting
this would remove the cause of the
complaints.
The conditions brought to your
attention as chairman were found,
in the main, to exist, and the au-
thorities at the hospital concede
that fact" Mr.. Camalier continued.
This admission, together with the
spirit of cooperation shown by the
patients, leads me to the conclusion
that the matter can be handled
