The absolute safety limit of pop

last week and the trustees directed
Superintendent Swint to admit no
more applicants except as vacancies
occur by death or discharge. Besides
the resident population, more than
600 patient* are out "on fgurlough"
and entitled to return at any time.
County ordinaries are now being
forced to commit insane men and
women to the county jails until such
time as room for them is provided
at the state sanitarium, and numer

that confinement of innocent un
fortunates with criminals is a relic

running to more than a million dol

is realized that it is hardly possibli
to obtain such a sum under present
conditions, and it is expected thut
the problem will be solved for a time
by erecting buildingj for negro pa
tients upon the “colony farm" at the
sanitarium. This will provide
for white patients after the negro
