To an outsider looking about the vari- | ous departments of the office, from the 'pecial windows to the bundle department in the basement, it would seem as |at the window mighty busy. i To make things harder for the already ! busy force people have held off in ma! ing until afternoon and evenings.

In designating the southwestern part of the state, the commission has in mind some location in_Fairfield eounty. Col- onel Paul Waterman, chairman of the commission, explained that such an in- stitution should contemplate an ultimate plant of 2,000 beds, and that the inti- tial unit should provide accommoda- tions for 500. At the rate of $2,500 a bed, the recommendation, if adopted by the -legislature, would require an appro- priation of at least $1,250,000. The ul- ftimate cost would be in the neighborhood of $5,000,000. A state psychiatic hospital . stands next in order of urgency, according to the commission and it definitely .recom- ménds' the éstablishment of such an in- stitution, which would be unique.in the state, in conjuiction with Yale university at New Haven. It finds. that the prob- able cost for the establishment of a psychiatric hospital would be approxi- mately $250,000.
