Description: Annual Report for 1884 is the 29th year for the Asylum. It reflects the Board of Directors' concern about the rise in the number of mentally ill individuals, citing census data and increase in patients committed to the facility as evidence. Requests funds to expand existing buildings to make room for new patients, who for lack of asylum space, are in jails and poorhouses around the state. Includes paperwork for completion prior to an individual's admission into the institution, reports and tables documenting repairs, finances, and expenditures, tabular data relating to the patients -- admissions and discharges, social status, diseases, mental status, etc.
