Con- RECOMMENDS APFROPRIATION FOR NORWICH STATE JHOSPITAL An appropriation for the Norwich Stite Hospital for the dInsane to provide for a new water supply at the institution is recommended by the state ard of fin- ance in its biennial reporf to the leg- islature. Tentative estimates for this run from $125,000 to $150,000. The state board recommends maintenance appropri- ations of $25,293,616 a cut of $2,898,446.31 from the total recommendations made by the varfous state departmentss . Among the recommendations made” by the board is that for a constitutional amendment which would provide for an- nual sesSions of the general -assembly. Sessions to be held in alternate years with the present biennial gessions would be merely for the purposé of raising revénus and appropriating public funds. ‘The state board of education asked $50,000 for support of the Americaniza- tion work it has been conducting. - The failure of the board of finance to recom- mend any appropriation for this work apparently means that it does -not ob- Ject to the abolishing of the activity on the part of the state. The trustees of the state farm for wo- men have asked for $244,500 lqit the board has cut this to $200,000 sayirng that further -extension for the next two years should not be made to care for more than 150 inmates, although it is poesible that an increased population . in {‘.. in- stitution will be found necessary in the mext two years. SCHOOL BUILDING NEEDS BEFORE BUSINESS MEN The town school committee met with the educational committee of the Nor- wicli Chamber of Commerce in the cham- ber rooms on Tuesday evening for the consideration of the building program.

Kelly of the school bdard .eaid Tuesday evening that there was nothing to report on the meeting, as the plans discussed were simply prelim- inary and nothifig definite had been de- clded upon. It is possible within a short time that the program will be presented for discussion at an open meeting. There is no doubt in the minds of the school committee and the members of the edu- cational committee of the Chamber of Commerce that something must be done to relieve the congestion in the schools, and these two bedies are workin gin con- Junction to find some means by which the present. conditions can be alleviated. JUSTICE BURKE FINDS FOR PLAINTIFF IN TWO CASES Judgment of $50 and costs.has been awarded the plaintiff in the case of Many McCarthy vs. Frank Ulrich, both of this city, by Edward T. Burke, J. P.. who heard the testimony in.the case last Sat- urday. It was a suit for trespass, the building of a drain and fhe cutting down of a iree on the plaintiff’s property by the defendant. Monday, in the eity court room Justice Burke heard the case of Antonio Chie- coni against Roy S. Beebe. The plain- tiff resides on Franklin street. It was alleged thaf the plaintiff bought a pig of the defendant for $35.30. Later it was found that the pig was tubercular and the plaintiff was comvelled to bury the pig upon order of the health officer. The defendant alleged that he sold the pig in good faith but did not guarantee. ‘After hearing the evid the case Justice Burke gave the plaintiff judgment for $59.85, which includes costs.

OPPOSE LEGAL DEATH "FOR INCURABLY INBANE “If Dr. Wilcox of the Norwich State Hospital for the Insane has told the newspaper reporters that he believes in mercifully ending the tortures of hope- lessly insane people by putting them to death, he will not find many support- ers in this state,” said Dr, Whitefield, N. Thompson, superintendent of tie Hart- fgrd Retreat, says the Hartford Times of Tuesday. ¢ Discussion of the matter was started anew Jast Saturday by the members of the general assembly’s committee on ap- propriations, the members being divided as to whether or not m law should be passed providing that persons in state institutions found 16" be hopelessly in- sane and suffering mental tortures, should be mercifully put fo death. Colonel Rob- ert O. Eaton of North Haven, house chairman of the’committee, says he could not support such a proposition, but sev- eral other memers of thos®mmittee were roported to- have indicated that they would. Dr. Wilcox, irterviewed by eseveral newspaper men is quoted in brief as eay- in =y “It is for the good of the individual te relieve him when he is suffering the tor- tures of the damned. I am firmly con- vinced of this after an experience of 2§ years in various institutions and after having studied a large number of cases of mental ailments. A tortured human being can be mercifully put out of exist- ence. He can be relieved of his distress by chloroform or other means.” “This solution may not come at pres- ent, but I believe that somé day the peo- ple will see it. We breed cattie correct- ly' and we breeq dogs correctly. Why shouldn’t we tfke care of -individuals? is for the good of the individual to re- Hieve him when he is ruffering th tures of the damned. 7This is not an economic condition; it I8 something for the human being himself. . “I make this statement after a eareful study of the situation, after an experi- enec of (wenty-five years in various ‘in- stitutions and I stand back of it. I refar of course, to chronic cases, which would have to be passed upon by & commission of experts.” Dr. -Thompson says in differing with Dr. Wilcox: “This subject has been dwelt upon nd dealt with improperly in the minds of the public. The fact is the persons suf- fering the torturds of the damned are not In the state institutions—they are walk- ing right down Main street in Hartford and down the streets of other cities and towns. Another important fact which should be borne in mind is there are not very many insane people who are suffer- ing great mental tortures. It is mostly observed in their first year in the ineti- tutions, but the majority of them under treatment get over. it in a year, and al though perhaps hopelessly insane de net suffer mental tortures. 5 ‘The question appears to be merely a matter of economy with the appropria- tions _committee. Thompson's obseration. “I am gratified t6 learn where Mr. Eaton stands, but I wish he would loosen up the purse strings.” Dr. Wileox, who is superintendent of the Norwich institution, wanted it unde stood he was not talking in favot of any legislative measure to end the lives of the hopeless sufferers. He said the time for it hds probably not arrived, but he believed it would come some day. Dr.. Paul Witerman of Hartford, an expert alienist and suregon general on i | the staff of Governor Lake, said Tuesday that he believed any proposition to put to death the mental sufferers was con- trary to public policy and hardly in ac- cord witlt the public sentiment which is to do the most it can to relieve these sufferings. “I question whether the time has come for departing from the policy of having the state trving as long as it can to make these sufferers comfortable. It is a fact that under treatment a ma- fority of the cases show improvement,” he sad. N Dr. C. Floyd Haviland, superintendent of the €onnecticut hospital for the insane at Middletown, the largest institution for the scientific treatment of mental pae tients in the state, expressed himself as being absolutely opposed to any such suggestion as that of putting the so- called incurably insane to death. He stated that in the first place people suf. faring from a mental sickness were enti- tled to the scientific care of a sympathetic world ; secondly. that mental disease was no more incurable than other forms ot kness, many patients recovering each year and many others showed a relative if not a complete recovery. Dr. William B. Terhune, medical direc- tor of the Connecticut Soeiety for Mental Hygiene, who is in_charge of ciinical psychiatry in the Yale Medical school, said Monday that no physician worthy of the name would countenance the sugged- tion that mentaf patients be put to death, that anyone who made such a suggetsion showed that he knew nothing abeut the nature of mental disease. “I did not héar any suech sentiment expressed by any member of the com- ittee. and I am certain that the story is made out of whole cloth,” said Repre- sentative Sidney V. Osborn of Branford, a member: of the appropriations commit- tee of the general assembly, when asked concerning the report that mémbers of the committes were considering a bill providing for the death of “incurably” insane patients. “It certainly is news to me, and furthermore I should not sane- tion any such proceeding concerning the report that members of the committee numberg- 73 men.
