WANTS NEW BUILDINGS A»k UgUUtnre for $160,000 for Dormitory ud Library. More Room Needed, It Is Said. The Georcia State Collette for Women is asking the Georgia leg- irlalnre to n.uke a building fund ap propriation of $160,000 to be used i the erection of a library and dor- litory to take care of the much ,ei-ded room space at the college.

The library problem is very im portant. stated Dr. Beeson, acting president. "A complete library is one of the most important and essential departments of a collgee,” stated the school head.

Conditions at the Georgia State Sanitarium at Milledgeville, where nearly 5,000 insane patients are crowded into quarters sufficient for barely two-thirds that number, have reached the point where “wometbing must be done,” it is pointed out by the trustees of the sanitarium, a body of Georgia citizens serving without pay, giving a great deal of valuable time, and feeling a deep sense cf responsibility to the public and to the patients it. the sanitarium and their families. The sanitarium has grown into a veritable ‘‘city of the insane" an the population of Georgia has increased. Patients, attendants and other <*m- ployees now number nearly 6,000, than the population of most county seat towns in Georgia. Yet, it is pointed out, the buildings and equipment hardly have been increas ed in many years. Patients are forc ed to sleep on matresses placed wherever floor space can be found. Such congestion makes it almost im possible to give the treatment de mand and which will restore the in to normalcy and return them to their homes. Governor Hardman will make this subject one of the outstanding feat ares of his firy. message to the gen eral assembly, it is stated. He has long been a trustee of the Sanitarium and as a physician, a humanitarian and a business man, is closely in sympathy with the great need of tensive physical improvements. Unless something is done, it pointed out, further admission to the sanitarium will be impossible, and many insane persons must* be den to their families or a charge up on their counties, besides being possible menace to their communi ties. The trustees will recommend, ai the most feasible step, the establish ment of an entirely separate sanita rium for negro patients, of whom nearly 1,700 are kept grounds ay the whites and in close proximity, a condition which pre sents many objections. The fire protection system, too, antiquated and in bad condition, and the insane and women confined in the ancient buildings are constantly menaced by fire. A general conflagra tion might easily cost hundreds of lives of helpless men and women. With Dr. Binion. From Au Dr. John W. Mobley, Jr., physician j and surgeon, who for the past year has been assisting in the University Hospital, will come to Milledgeville eeks to prac tice hi» profession being associated ith Dr. Richard Binion.
