Would Discontinue Farms
Among other suggestions by
the commission:
/. Mental hospitals should dis
continue their farms. Reasons
given: Farm work is not part of
treating mental patients nova
days; the state probably loses
money on these farms and could
probably buy the equivalent pro-
ducts for less than total produc-
ton costs on these farms. Sug-
Igestion; rent or dispose Of these
farms If the land is not needed.
2. Also discontinue farming
operations at tuberculosis sana-
terra.
3. Review and study state poll
cy on providing residences for
officials and employees of various
institutions. Make adequate and
uniform charges for rent so
as to amortize these residences
over a reasonable number of
years"
4. Review and probably in
crease rates and fees charged
patients who are able to pay
toward their care at tuberculosis
Sanatoria. The maximum charge
at present is less than half the
actual cost.
S. The state, in the field of
general hospital services, should
not go beyond what is necessary
to provide facilities for teaching
students" at its medical schools.
