by those using this system that patients are better cared for
and neater, and the act of going out of wards to meals breaks
the monotony of confinement. Disadvantages—difficulty of
moving, the infirm, and effect upon timid or quiet, of excited
and untidy patients
Condensed steam from radiators, it is suggested, should
return direct to boilers, instead of by pump, as now. Also
an increase of water supply, better precaution against fire,
and a large library for patients. Many, if not all, of these
improvements will be made next fiscal year. Mr. Sawyer
adds : " I find the affairs of the Asylum in good condition,
and everything working smoothly and in good shape."
Superintendant's salary $2,800. First Assistant Physician,
salary $1,200. Second Assistant Physician, salary $1,200.
Steward's salary $1,000. Matron's salary $550.
NORTH CAROLINA INSANE ASYLUM—(Dr. W. P. Wood,
Superintendent).
Inspected by Dr. E. Burke Haywood, and the Secretary,
November 2d, 1889.
The present Superintendent has been in charge about four
months, Dr. Eugene Grissom having resigned August 23d,
1889.
The North Carolina Insane Asylum was built in 1849-'56.
The design is a cross, with main building 116 feet long, 80
feet 8 inches wide, and 86 feet 2 inches from first floor to top
of dome, with arcade 80 feet 8 inches long, and 26 feet 4
inches wide. The wings are 325 feet long, 40 feet 8 inches
wide, and 50 feet high, running at right angles.
Number of patients, 142 males; 156 females. Present
accommodations designed for 250, but 300 are now provided
for by using one associated dormitory for four patients, and
by placing two patients in certain rooms admitting two bed-steads.
This, however, decreases air space, and involves
greater risk of trouble. Rooms, 10 by 10, on first floor, 12
