" 4- Nearly $400,000 for Charitable Institutions Board of Public Charities in Session Elaborate Report of the Secretary, Capt. C. B. Denson, Read at Yesterday's Sessfon The Board of Public. Charities is now in session in this city. The following members were present at the meeting yesterday afternoon: Dr. Chas. Duffy of New Bern, chairman; Mr. W. N. Jones of Raleigh,and Mr. Edgar L.Hor ton of Jones county. The other two members, Messrs. W. F. Craig of Ma rion, and YmN A. Blair of Winston, aTe expected todaj The sessions will last until tomorrow. The principal business yesterday was hearing the report of the secretary, ('apt. -C. B. Denson. The report is a lengthy one, covering about two liun lred pages of manuscript. From it the follQwing extract isi made, which, gives a comprehensive idea of what is being done, and the cost of maintaining the charitable institutions of the state: The following is a brief 1 review of the status of the institutional, the fuller de t ails being found in the reports of the officers in charge, to this board. - Stale Hospital at Ualelxli Since the last report Dr. Geo. L. Kirby has died, under whose faithful superintendence large additions iwere made to the institution,- and Dr. Jas McKee has succeeded him. There are IfiS male, 252 female patients; total 420. The proper accommodating" facility is reported at 417. It is therefore entirely tilled, and there are 66 applications on tile. During the year there, were "143 admissions and . 147 discharges, includ ing 41 deat-s and 98 cures. This gives a percentage . of about 10 per cent of mortality on population, which, how ever, should properly be less if total population from beginning to close of the year were reputed. The percentage of cures upon admissions is 681.: About two-thirds of the patients are employed. The appropriation for the year is $71, ."00 for maintenance, and a special ap propriation for floors and new stairways of ?l,2r50. There was also a special appropriation of $10,(XXX (payable $5,000 annually) to pay off indebtedness in curred by deficit in 1900. The super intendent is endeavoring to ascertain the patients who may be able to defray their expenses in accordance with re quirements of the act of 1901. He urges increased provision for the insane, and suggests farther accommodations at the state Hospital. Raleigh to provide for the insane of the Eastern district. , Stat floapltal at lorsraatvn Dr.rP. L. Murphy, superintendent, re ports the important improvements of more than doubling the water supply, by the purchase of 400 acres of the head water of. Long creek at a cost of, $3,000. He recommends that .another water main be put -in, to the junction of the supply from Black Fox branch. The dam has been constructed. The total number under . treatment during the year was 877, and remaining November 30, 1900, 326 malea, 419 fe males; total 745; and . November-" 30, 3001, 344 males, 419 females; total 76:5. The percentage of recovery upon ad mission (132) is ;?77. "By counting those discharged r.s not insane" as re covered, and 1 discharging come persons any recoverea, uc percentage cwum easily be made 11m h larger. The per centage of mortality upon total number .under treatment fthere having been 28 Wth) is about 3 1-3. There were 120 refusals of admissions, all for want of room, and 28 readmissions. Reference is made to, the report for the steps taken in the endeavor to as certain wliat patients have estates -or friends who can defray the cost of their support, to carry out the legislative en actment referring thereto. The appropriation was $100,000 per annum for support, $10,000 per annum to pay a debt incurred in support of patients for biennial period of 1899 3 900, and- equipping building for pa ients. Not much progress on the lat ter. th wentbr being unfavdrable for brick making. The per capita fost .is $133. The farm, garden and dairy Troducts have been varied and exten sive, v -' Stf Hospital at Goldbaro Dr. J. F.t Miller reports an addition of importance in a new - building, 170 feet long, with- three stories, at a cost of. $20,000, when finished, furnished and equipped. It has 32 rooms . for male patients Besides associate dining room and repository for commissary supplies. This institution is for the colored race, and had on roll November 30, 188 males, 273 females; total 461. The general average for. year has been 458.17 and percentage of cures 8S 56-100, upon ad missions (number recovered 23), the number of deaths 20, giving percentage of mortality of 3.83. During the year 52 were declined for want of room, and 8 as not beingproper subjects. More would have been, but their applications were discouraged. The appropriation was $47,500. There are 143 from -the Western district, and 318 from the Eat-V district.. 'Employ ment ;- 1 prou::: feature in the treatuifei;:. The sjperiaetndent suggests the need of a special appropriation for cold storage plantv and fire escapes." He also refers to the necessity to borrow funds for the completion of the new building as only $5,000 of the special appropriation had been received. He expresses the belief that a large num ber of colored insane remain unprovided for. ' , . . School for lb Daf and Blind The inmates are: Eighty-two white blind girls, 105 blind boys; total 187 white pupils. At the colored depart ment, 38 colored blind girls, 25 blind boys, 44 colored deaf girls, 55 deaf boys, a total of 165 colored pupils, and grand total of 352. There are 25 applications. The daily average attendance has beea about 200, and per capita cost nearly $200. . The amount of expense fund is $50, 000 a year, and there is m special ap propriation of $10,000 for improve ments. 'The large dining and music hall at the white department has been com pleted during the year, and other im provements made, and a building con structed at the colored department for the new pump for water from a deep well of 450 feet, over which has been erected a 6,000 gallon stee tank. The Principal states that , there is serious need of a; lighting plant, additional ma chinery for broom making and carpen ter department, maps, globes.pianos and two pipe organs, whose total cost would ibe about $25,000. He also declares that if his funds were larger, he, could improve the diet of pupils and intro duce better .ventilation in . the older portions of the buildings. There are accommodations for 150 of each sex, at the white department, and 125 of each at the colored department, if sufficient means were provided for their support There are at least 200 white and col ored children who need it care and training. V ? ' . School for the Deaf Dumb at Ittor ffanton " There has been-admitted 35 new pu pils (in addition to number enrolled at last report), four have completed, their time and been discharged, three as-incapable of instruction and 2d did not re turn after vacation. We can accommo date 300, after the completion of two small additions now in progress. These will give room for 50 children, and fur nish another exit as recommended by the Board of Public Charities upon in spection. A complete water system has been added and the farm much im ptyreH. The Industrial department is being well developed. , The present appropriation is $40,000. The per capita cost inducting amount expended upon ;" permanent improve ments is $170, per capita of actual con sumption for support $150. . The superintendent 'asks for special appropriation of $3,000 for' making roadways, draining and improving the grounds. ' Oxford Orpban Asylum There are now 220 pupils in this in-1 stitution, an excess of 6 over last year, and the largest .average number ever enrolled was 223,, during the - year. Of these 106 are girls and Ho boys, now present. How well it is doing its work is shown by the provision of 41 during the year in approved homes, and five others with employment on salary, and one received at Normal and Industrial College. At the date of the report, far the year ending November 30th, the to- iai receipts were :G,947.40, including $7,600 from the State. Ane net cost of maintenance and education was $16. 014,51. The per capita cost "of mainte nance alone was $50.86; for mainte nance and education, cost per capita " uo.j.o. special , instruction in ' - " ' ' handicrapts, etc., is "given to 79 -hoys and 58 girls. - There have been important improve ments, comprising a brick building Bear ing completion, for ' industrial opera tions, a dairy and the introduction- of new water supply by well, 258 feet in depth. The superintendent needs more land, but the greatest want-is a. hos pital building,, fitted with modern con veniences for infirmary use. . " - Colored Orpbaia Asylum at Oxford There are 109 pupils, of whom 49 are males and W)-females; 20 were placed in homes. The receipts were $7,599.9S, and expenditures' $8,049.71. Of this amount $5,C00 was the regular - appro priate from the State and 51.0OO a special appropriation from the State; so that the institution is practically sup ported by the State. The present in debtedness is $1,361.50. There are 172 acres of land, and the property is esti mated at $9,250.00, but the, title is not in the State. The superintendent re ports repairs and improvements made to the extent of 420. He states that they and a chapel and class rooms, fit ted and furnished for school purposes, and 'also buildings for-shops. : ; Vi- Soldier Homo at Ralelcb - Hon. B. F. Dixon is secretary, and A, B. Stronach, chairman of the Exec aitive Committee. ' J ' ; There are 79 inmates and 6 absent on furlough. The average attendance has been about 7. The infirm character of inmates received -is indicated - by ' the number treated m the hospital 52t;.and at their rooms 22. Of these 14 died, or about 20 per cent. This shows the average life of the .veteran at the home as only - five years. The number en rolled has been limited by the removal 01 the old dormitories, about to b oc cupied but not yet in use. ' 1 The Daughters of the Confederacy gave generously and promised their aid in the equipment of the new building The' secretary advocates the appropria tion of $25,000 annually for the erection of suitable buildings and the mainte nance of the old ' soldiers of the State. It is proper to express the great loss sustained by the State and its ' veter ans in ,the death since the last report of Wm. (3. Stronach, , who as cnairman of the Executive Committee, from the be ginning ,of the institution, rendered so much" valuable service, without com pensation,' except the pleasure of doing good and advancing the public welfare. By the Statute of reorganization of the Home in 1901, its reports will be made by the secretary. .POSTSCRIPTS Mr. ,3. W. Foy left for Danville last night. . . Jit-D. M.
