LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
Raleigh, N. C, December 21, 1918.
To His Excellency, T. W. Bickett,
Governor of North Carolina.
Sir:—On behalf of the Board of Directors of the State Hospitals of North
Carolina, I beg to submit herewith the reports of the superintendents, show-ing
in detail all the operations at each 'hospital for the two years beginning
December 1, 1916, and ending November 30, 1918.
The institutions and the State suffered a great loss in the death of Mr.
Charles P. Matheson, an 'honored and useful member of this Board and a
gentleman of sterling character.
Your special attention is called to the fact that a deficit is shown at each
institution. It is a source of gratification that this deficit is not larger as,
because of war conditions throughout the entire period, the price of labor
and of supplies of every kind have been excessively high.
Two years ago the directors of the three 'hospitals asked for increased
appropriations, basing their request on the advanced prices then prevailing.
The General Assembly thought best to curtail the amounts asked for, and
did so. Prices continued to advance, and, 'dearly foreseeing that the appro-priations
would be inadequate, the directors, in person and by letter, in May,
1917, called the matter to the attention of yourself and your Council of State.
After due consideration the directors were advised to make t'he available
funds go as far as possible and wihen they were exhausted to call upon you
for further instructions. This course was followed and every possible
economy was practiced. Rooms were kept empty because funds were not
sufficient to support the present population.
There are now empty rooms sufficient to accommodate at Morganton 100
and at Raleigh 110 additional patients. Because of lack of funds these rooms
could not be used, although there were many applicants on the waiting list,
and some unfortunately lying in the county jails.
In October, 1918, your attention was again called to the lack of funds, and
your Council of State authorized the directors to borrow for Goldsboro $30,000,
for Raleigh $30,000, and for Morganton $60,000. The hospitals did not find it
necessary to borrow quite so much, although at Morganton it was found
necessary to leave some outstanding bills. Attention is called to these mat-ters
in the various reports, and the General Assembly is asked to provide for
these deficits in addition to their appropriation for maintenance for the next
two years.
The directors would suggest and most earnestly urge that authority be
lodged in some one to provide for emergencies of this kind so that the direc-tors
may not be called upon to assume personal responsibility for the support
of these institutions or to ask the banks to make loans for wlhich there exists
no authority.
Your attention is further directed to the crying need for other permanent
improvements, as indicated in the reports of the superintendents. The direc-tors
are fully aware of the lack of funds sufficient to provide for all of the
interests of the various institutions of the State, but the needs of the class
Letter of Transmittal
of patients served by these hospitals are of such a nature that they think it
their duty to submit these matters for the careful consideration of yourself
and of the General Assembly.
There is a fund known as the "Receipts or Steward's Account," which
comes from pay patients and other sources and which the various hospitals
have been allowed to use. But for this fund it would have been impossible
to have made as good a showing with the regular appropriations. In large
institutions of this kind, as in smaller households, many unusual emergencies
occur which cannot possibly be anticipated. This fund has been used judi-ciously,
and detailed report is made thereof. It should not be interfered with.
Messrs. Pullen, Henderson, McKinne & Co., a well-known firm of account-ants,
have been employed to audit the books and accounts, and comparative
statements have been inaugurated which it is believed will result in great
good. Summary of the same will be found herein, and all per capita calcula-tions,
comparisons, etc., will be found in the Auditor's report.
The suggestions and requests found in these reports have been made after
the most careful consideration of the Board, and are solely for the interests
of the institutions and of the patients under their care.
The directors wish to express their appreciation of the cordial support and
hearty cooperation which they have always received at your hands.
Very respectfully, Jos. G. Brown,
President of the Board.

The statistical summary includes the Epileptic Department.
There has been no suicide during this biennial period.
There had been no epidemic of any disease until the influenza came in
October and lasted until about the close of the year.
Three hundred and seven cases, including all officers, employees, and
patients, occurred in about thirty days, a little over ten cases a day. Of these,
there were seventy-two employees and officers with only two deaths; the
balance were patients—eighteen of whom died—making 2.7-9 per cent mor-tality
among employees and officers and 7% per cent among patients.
R. E. Chesnutt, our chief cook, was the first to die of pneumonia. No finer
hero than he died in the trenches. He strictly considered his post of service
as one of patriotic duty, and flatly refused more remunerative offers and
stuck to his job with supreme loyalty.
8 State Hospital at Raleigh
W. F. Christenbury, our dairyman, was the second one to die, and he died
of the same disease—pneumonia following influenza. He, too, was faithful,
efficient, and loyal to his work.
Regular staff meetings have been held daily, at which reports from assist-ant
physicians are received as to new cases and the condition of the sick.
We have had most of our new patients examined and their histories taken
and presented to the staff meeting. The large demands of war for doctors
depleted our staff and we could not keep up with all the work as we have
been accustomed. The work of our pathological department has been done
by the State Laboratory of Hygiene since last May.
We have had no dental work done at the hospital. There is decided need
for this. There is greater need for providing dental work for tlhe mental
sick than any other iclass, 'mostly because they cannot be sent outside of the
institution in the large majority of cases. There have been very fine results
obtained by many institutions where dental work was done. Many mentally
sick cases have been restored to health by repairing the teeth.
We mentioned in our report two years ago that the old closets of the main
building should be replaced with new ones, suclh as were put in the new
buildings. The repairs on the old closets and the waste water from defects
of tlhe same justify an immediate change. Reference to estimate of the abso-lute
needs of male and female sides of main building is made on another
page.
During recent years the condition of our steam boiler plant and heating
system has reached a point where it has been impossible to heat the buildings
with any degree of comfort, or even to prevent suffering among our patients
in extremely cold weather.
The additional buildings recently erected called for additional capacity,
and the fuel consumed in an attempt to provide service was increasing at
such a rapid rate that in the spring of 1918 it was found absolutely necessary
to take some adequate steps to relieve the rapidly increasing difficulties
along this line.
As the problem presented many difficulties, owing to the large size of the
plant as a whole, and the vast amount of heating equipment and complicated
nature of the piping system which has accumulated through the various
stages of enlargement for many years, it was considered advisable to secure
the services of some engineer of experience in this class of work to plan and
superintend the contemplated improvements. After careful investigation,
Wiley & Wilson, consulting engineers of wide experience in this line of work,
were employed in February, 1918, to perform this service.
After making a very thorough survey and study of our conditions for
several weeks, our engineers submitted a report which convinced us that the
alterations would have to be extensive to be of permanent value, and that the
expenditure of approximately $15,000 originally available for the work would
only cover repairs to an inadequate equipment without reaching the desired
results, and that it would be finally wasted, as a general rebuilding of the
plant and remodeling of the equipment was inevitable.
Among other things the investigations showed that the 750 horse-power
boiler plant was connected to a chimney which was only large enough to
produce proper draft for 300 horse-power; that the brick settings surround-ing
the boilers were practically falling down; that the pipe connections and
auxiliary boiler-rooul equipment were entirely inadequate and so far worn
State Hospital at Raleigh 9
out that further repairs was a waste of money, and that serious breakdowns
and interruptions of service were sure to continue until these items had been
replaced by better equipment.
The boiler-house was largely of temporary construction with large fire
risk and not adequate to accommodate the increased capacity of equipment
needed, and the elevations of the boiler-room floor and railway sidings were
such that no adequate provision could be made for dumping and storage of
fuel, a matter wnich has caused us much trouble and expense in the past.
It was also found that the heating equipment in a number of the older
buildings needed extensive repairs, and it was necessary to remove a large
number of undersized and poorly insulated steam mains, many of which
were laid underground and leaked so badly that their further use was out of
the question.
The improvements finally agreed upon and for Which plans and specifica-tions
were prepared by our engineers covered the following:
First. The remodeling of the power-house building and construction of
coal dump and storage bins.
Second. The ' construction of a new brick chimney of sufficient size to
accommodate 1,000 horse-power steam-boiler capacity.
Third. The installation of an additional steam boiler raising the boiler
capacity to 900 horse-power total, and the rearrangement and resetting of all
of the six 150 horse-power boilers.
Fourth. The installation of entirely new power-house piping, boiler-feed
pumps, and auxiliary equipment along modern lines.
Fifth. The installation of new steam mains leading to the various build-ings,
both for heating and power purposes, so far as these renewals were
found necessary.
Sixth. The remodeling of the heating equipment in the various buildings
wlhere repairs or alterations were found necessary to provide satisfactory
heating service.
It was estimated that the above work would cost approximately $60,000.
The available funds for this purpose being only about $15,000, it was decided
to get permission from the North Carolina State Building Commission to use
funds which had been appropriated for a new kitchen to devote to the re-modeling
of our central power and heating plant. This matter was submitted
to the North Carolina Building Commission on May 9th and their approval
given, contracts being let at that time for remodeling of power-house, con-struction
of chimney, and a number of other items (which, due to the war,
would require considerable time to manufacture and deliver to the institu-tion).
The plans for the power-plant piping and equipment, also remodeling of
the entire steam-distributing system and heating apparatus in the buildings,
were submitted to the contractors soon after this time, and bids received
about June 25th. Owing to rapidly increased cost of material and labor since
estimates were made on March 25th the total cost of the improvements ex-ceeded
the estimates by $30,000 to $40,000. The matter was taken up with
the Governor's Council and the State Building Commission and permission
was given for us to proceed with the work, the funds to he supplied from
our next year's building fund or by a special appropriation.
The work has been pushed as rapidly as possible, but, owing to the unpre-cedented
conditions resulting from the war and influenza epidemic, serious
10 State Hospital at Raleigh
delays in getting material and shortage of labor have prevented its final com-pletion.
The matter, however, has been handled in such a way as to prevent
a serious interruption of the power or heating service.
The building contractor remodeling the power-house died in October, and
his wife, Who was his administrator, died soon afterwards, and this has been
the cause of one of our most serious delays. This matter has been readjusted
with a third administrator, and we hope to proceed with the completion of
the unfinished details of the building and coal dump.
The central plant is now in such shape that we are in position to furnish
practically all the buildings with heat and prevent suffering among our
patients, although up to the present time we have only three boilers in opera-tion.
The other three boilers will be in operation by January 1st, and the
improvements as a whole will be nearly completed. It will probably take a
month to six weeks after January 1st to finish up all of the minor details and
get the plant entirely finished and running in the most economical manner.
It would have been impossible for us to get through this winter and take
care of our patients without making the improvements above outlined, and
the economy resulting from the improvements will abundantly justify the
investment, notwithstanding the high cost of labor and material during the
construction period, and to say nothing of the satisfactory nature of the
service which will be obtained.
A tabulation giving cost of the various items entering into the improve-ments
as outlined can be furnished if desired, and While there may be some
slight changes as the work progresses, it is not contemplated that any mate-rial
increase will be required.
Our farm and carpenter's departments have continued under the same head,
with increased output and efficiency.
The engineer's department has of necessity changed heads four times,
mainly on account of the war. We are spending on this department all our
building appropriation for three years as above outlined.
The reports for all the departments are herewith submitted. They all
show good results in production.
In making our estimate for maintenance appropriation two years ago, we
based our estimate on the best obtainable statistics as of October 1, 1916,
which showed that the average price of food was 23.8 per cent higher than
the average for the past eight years prior to that date.
The Legislature failed to give the increased amount asked for, and we were
unable to equip and open our new receiving building. Our usual number
were sufficient to use all the maintenance fund and create a deficit of about
$30,000. We began the biennial period with a deficit of more than $16,000.
We have been able to live without larger deficit, as shown by auditor, by
making large crops, saving all we make, and practicing strictest economy
—
"eating enough and wisely, and wasting none."
By opening the new building and using all available space we can take
about one hundred and ten additional patients. But we have about six hun-dred
and thirty on the waiting list. Every mentally sick patient in the State
ought to be provided for during the acute stage. Our plan, forced by lack of
room, keeps many acute cases out till they become chronic life charges on
the State.
State Hospital at Raleigh 11
On account of the continued high prices, we must ask for $230 per capita
for next two years, and with this amount we believe we can arrange to pro-cure
sufficient help to properly care, treat, and feed 1,160 patients.
We under-estimated the cost of building a kitchen and two congregate
dining-rooms in our last report. We had plans made only for a kitchen, and
the lowest bid was about $75,000. Each one of the dining-rooms would have
cost nearly as much.
At present prices our architect informs us that the kitchen would cost
$100,000 and each dining-room $90,000, making a total of $280,000.
Our large waiting list might be reduced considerably by adhering to a strict
rule of rejecting the applications of many aged people who are bedridden,
feeble, or dotards. These do not need the special equipment of a hospital as
the mentally sick. Homes for incurables and invalids are the places for these.
G Ward building is one either to be condemned or thoroughly remodeled
according to the opinion of a competent architect. As the effects of the war
upon work, we would mention high cost of living, scarcity and restlessness
of labor, producing our deficit, making it very difficult to keep up the usual
sanitary condition in our wards and all other work on account of the short-age
of help.
To the clergy and a few Christian laymen of the city we owe our thanks
for their service in conducting our Sunday morning worship.
In the discharge of my official duties, I wish to personally thank the officers,
employees, and patients for their assistance and support. My indebtedness
to the Executive Committee, members of the Board, and members of the build-ing
commissioners for their counsel and assistance in solving the many diffi-cult
problems connected with the management of the institution is hereby
tendered with sincerest appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, Albert Anderson,
Superintendent.

CARPENTER'S REPORT
Dr. Albert Anderson, Superintendent.
Sir:—I respectfully submit to you the report covering the work in the car-penter's
department for the period from November 30, 1916, to November
30, 1918.
We lhave kept in repair all wagons, carts, binders, 'harrows, and all other
machinery and tools used in the farming department.
We have also kept up the repairs of the bedsteads, the springs being put
on in our own shop. The patients have made all the mattresses except those
bought for the two new buildings. All filling for the mattresses has been
properly sterilized. The mattresses are all made by patients under my
supervision.
We have kept in repair all cthairs and furniture used in the building with
the exception of chairs bought for the Nurses' Home and Receiving Building.
No chairs have been bought for the institution in the past five years. This
has been brought about by repairs done on old chairs.
All the necessary repairs, such as windows, panes, sashes, and other repairs
of general nature have been done in spite of the fact that the carpenter's
department has been short of labor.
We have also made enough brooms for the needs of the hospital. Most
of the broom-<corn used was grown on the farm. The handles are used over
and over again, and as the brooms are made by a patient, we were able to
supply the needs of the institution at a very small expenditure.
We have dug the graves, made coffins, and prepared for burial all bodies
buried in the hospital cemetery.
We have also kept in repair the shoes and harness. This work was done
by patients. ,
I submit the following to show the scope of the work that has been done:
Carpenter's Report for Year Ending November 30, 1917
Two small houses at Oaks Colony $ 100.00
Steps and platform at male congregate dining-room 30.00

Made 515 potato crates 257.50
Made 72 concave benches, total length 479 feet 143.70
There are quite a number of repairs and some needed construction work
that I would respectfully call your attention to.
Lack of funds with which to purchase necessary material, added to our in-ability
to secure competent help, has prevented us from doing this work.
You will note that many of the items call for a rather large expenditure,
but they all are absolutely necessary if the building is to be kept in good con-dition
and properly cared for.
I would recommend that the following things be done:
Plastering and painting $2,500.00
Wrought iron window-guards in the male department 1,500.00
Receiving porches in the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th wards 600.00
Receiving floor on 9th ward 100.00
Locks for rooms in main building 450.00
Farm machinery building for housing farm machinery 3,000.00
Ice room 750.00
Courtyard fence, both male and female departments 1,500.00
Floor and ceiling Erwin building 300.00
Respectfully submitted, Robert Green.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
Goldsboro, N. 0., December 18, 1918.
To the Board of Directors of the State Hospital at Goldsboro.
Gentlemen:—I herewith submit a report of the operations of this institu-tion
for the two years ending November 30, 1918.
Males Females Total
Number on roll November 30, 1916 380 625 1,005
Number admitted 242 304 546
Total number treated 622 929 1,551
Total number removed 246 312 558
Number on roll November 30, 1918 376 617 993
Number present November 30, 1918 368 594 962
Percentage of cures on number received .... .... 31
Percentage of deaths on number treated .... 11.78
We have had no serious epidemic, but, owing to the large number of patients
admitted with pellagra, many of them in the last stage, and living only a
short time after admission, our percentage of death was larger than usual.
I regret to have to report that a male patient, while assisting in moving a
car on our spur track, was accidently run over by the car and died from the
injuries received; and, also, that a female patient committed suicide by hang-ing
herself at night in her room. She had been in the hospital less than a
month, and during this time had shown no suicidal tendencies.
Of the 5,783 admissions to this institution since it was opened August 1,
1880, this is the second suicide to be reported.
IMPROVEMENTS AND REPAIRS
The following are the most important improvements and repairs: A steel
tower with two water tanks of 115,000-gallon capacity was erected and is
now in use.
A cannery 36 x 40 feet has been built and equipped with all necessary con-veniences.
There was an addition to the kitchen, and a room for preparing
vegetables was built.
There is now under construction a building for the accommodation of
ninety patients which, we hope, will be completed in the spring.
A new system of pipe lines for supplying the above building and, also, the
tubercular and epileptic buildings with water and heat is also under con-struction.
Our spur track was relaid with seventy-fivenpound rails, and a new trestle
and coal-chute were built.
See Engineer's report for a detailed account of improvements and repairs.
FARM, GARDEN, AND DAIRY
Estimated net value of farm, garden, and dairy products (1917) . . $ 26,303.73
Estimated net value of farm, garden, and dairy products (1918) . . 28,785.42
Estimated net value of farm, garden, and dairy products
(1917-1918) $ 55,089.15
44 State Hospital at Goldsboro
LABOR
During the period embraced in this report, and especially during the last
year, it has been impossible to keep sufficient help to carry on the work to the
best interest of the institution.
FINANCES
For the maintenance of this institution for the two years, 1917 and 1918,
the Legislature appropriated $245,000. The appropriation was entirely inade-quate,
and it was only by practicing the strictest economy that the deficit
was not greater than $23,470.07.
Per capita cost of maintenance for 1917 $ 132.59
Per capita cost of maintenance for 1918 147.576
NEEDS FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS
For maintenance for 980 patients (1919) $153,125.00
For maintenance for 1,000 patients (1920) 156,250.00
For deficit for 1917 and 1918 23,470.07
For completing and furnishing new building 35,650.00
In conclusion, I wish to thank the Board, officers, and employees for their
generous and loyal support in conducting the affairs of the institution.
Respectfully submitted,
W. W. Faison, Superintendent.

REPORT OF THE CLINICAL DIRECTOR
The patients have been given a careful physical and mental examination
as soon after their arrival as expedient, and as complete a history as possible
has been written of each one and filed for convenient reference. In many
instances the admission papers contain very little reliable information con-cerning
the patient, and the patient's condition precludes the obtaining of any
information Whatever from them concerning their past history. In most of
such cases we have been materially assisted by our attendants who bring the
cases to the Hospital, as they have freely cooperated and shown considerable
aptitude in obtaining valuable information from friends, relatives, etc., of the
patients, which has enabled us to compile a history of such cases.
The Wasserman test has been made in every new and old suspected case
so far as possible to do so. In all, 262 patients were thus tested during the
past year. We found it more expedient to have this work done at the State
Laboratory of Hygiene.
Salvarsan has been administered about fifty times to selected cases with
generally good results, and very gratifying results in six cases. We admin-istered
it from one to eight times per patient.
Post-mortems were held on all occasions where the cause o'f death was ob-scure.
Eleven autopsies were held during the past year and a record of them
written and filed for reference.
The following work was done in the pathological laboratory during the
past year:
Urinalysis 620
Sputum examinations 102

ENGINEER'S BIENNIAL REPORT
Dr. W. W. Faison,
Superintendent State Hospital at Goldsooro, N. C.
Dear Sir:—I beg to submit herewith a report of the Engineering Depart-ment
for the year ending November 30, 1917.
This report will be brief and, I fear, incomplete, owing to the fact that my
predecessor, Mr. Hardesty, was hurriedly called away by the Government
before he had time to make a report of the work done during the year prior
to the time of his departure.
I desire to state just here that I found the plant and work, as a whole, in
excellent condition when I took charge of it September 15th, showing plainly
the care and attention that had been given it prior to that time.
The most important improvements and repairs made during the year are
as follows:
A new trestle and coal chute have been built, the two stave silos moved to
a more suitable place and put in a first-class condition, porches added to six
tenant houses. Two rooms were added to the gardener's house.
A cannery 36 x 40 feet was built and equipped with cement sinks, steam
cookers, hot and cold water, and with all other conveniences necessary for
an up-to-date cannery.
We have under construction at the present time a steel tank and tower for
water, with a total capacity of 115,000 gallons, which, when complete, will
give much better water service and fire protection.
Respectfully submitted,
T. Miller White,
Engineer in Charge.
ENGINEER'S REPORT (1918)
Dr. W. W. Faison,
Superintendent State Hospital, Golclsboro. N. C.
I herewith submit my report as Engineer, covering the brief period of my
employment.
I took charge of the plant August 29, 1918. During this time there has been
no new work done in the way of additions to the machinery, so my work has
been confined to the upkeep and repairs of the machinery and equipment.
The principal items of repair have been leveling up the boilers, building
concrete steps to Aycock building, renewing two motors, repair of boiler feed
line and boiler feed pump, putting in one piston and plunger in ammonia
pump, overhauling one hydraulic pump.
I have recalked the suction line from the river to the pumping station; put
in one heating coil in the vegetable house; overhauled heating coils on two
fans; riveted galvanized iron duct. I have overhauled filter tank and put in
new pipes and fittings and cleaned out the reservoir. A brick foundation has
been built under portions of the walls of the engine-room, and also under the
fire-escape at Miller building, to prevent settling of the walls.
During the year, under my predecessor, the water tank and tower were
completed and put in service. An addition to the kitchen was made, and a
room for preparing vegetables was built.
Our spur track was relaid with seventy-five-pound rails.
Respectfully submitted,
W. D. Williams, Engineer.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
The Honorable Board of Directors.
Gentlemen:—In compliance with the law I am herewith submitting a re-port
of the operation of the Hospital for the biennial period ending November
30, 1918, together with the customary statistical tables.
It will be noted from Table No. 1 that we had under treatment during the
two years 2', 105 patients, and that 95 men and 97 women have been discharged
as recovered. Based upon admissions, the recovery rate for men was 37.6
per cent, and for women 30.7 per cent. During 1917 59 men and 65 women
died, making the death rate for that year 6.7 per cent. During 1918 73 men
and 82 women died, giving an annual death rate of 8.6 per cent. This was the
highest death rate recorded in the history of the institution, and was due, in
a great measure, to the epidemic of influenza which prevailed in the Hospital
during October and November of this year, afflicting more than 500 patients
and resulting in 29 deaths. The employees were affected in even a greater
proportion, there being approximately 100 stricken with the disease, and one
nurse died from it.
Five suicides have occurred during the period. The circumstances attend-ing
same were reported to the executive committee of the Board of Directors
at the time of occurrence. In each instance the coroner was notified, but in
no case did he hold an inquest. One homicide occurred. A male patient, who
had been in the Hospital for eight months without showing any dangerous
propensities or giving expression to any delusions, one day while out with a
working party picked up an axe and struck an inoffensive patient in the back
of the neck, producing a wound which caused death in a few minutes.
We have been very much hampered in the work of the Hospital owing to
lack of support funds. The estimate in our report to the last General As-sembly
was made without knowledge of the tremendous advance which was to
take place in the price of all commodities and the price of labor as well, and
was far too low to meet the vital needs of running expenses, and the appro-priation
when finally made was $25,000 less than we asked for. Consequently,
after practicing the strictest economy, and in some cases enduring privations,
we have been compelled to incur a debt of approximately $75,000. The Board
of Directors, acting under instructions of the Governor and his Council, has
borrowed $55,000, and the balance of this amount is represented by outstand-ing
bills.
The per capita cost for the past year was $216, and would have been con-siderably
more had the advance in wages to nurses, attendants, and other
employees, Which we were compelled to make, been in effect for the entire
year. We estimate that for the ensuing two years a per capita allowance of
$230 will be necessary for anything like the proper care of our unfortunate
charges.
By opening the new dormitory for women, which has stood vacant for the
past two years, our present capacity will be 1,440 patients, and for their sup-port
at the above-mentioned rate per capita we will need for support during
1919 $331,200'. In order to meet the ever-increasing demands for the admis-sion
of patients there should be constructed, during the coming year, a build-
72 State Hospital at Mokganton
ing to accommodate at least 100 men, bringing the population up to 1,540,
which at the same -rate would require an appropriation of $344,200 for 1920,
and in addition $75,000 to cover notes and outstanding hills, representing the
deficit for the last biennial period.
Owing to the inadvisability of marketing the bonds authorized by the last
General Assembly for additional improvements to the Hospital during the
stress of war times, funds for that purpose were unavailable, and even had
they been available there was no need for increased 'capacity without means
of supporting the additional population. However, the time has come when
steps should be taken looking to enlargement and improvements as provided
for by this bond issue, and the immediate needs are for a building for men
with a capacity of not less than 100 beds and a new refrigerating plant to
replace our old one, which is too small and practically worn out from its
more than twenty years of use.
Out of the appropriation made two years ago for enlargement and improve-ment
there will be available, during next year, $100,000, and this amount will
doubtless meet the actual needs in that direction for the present, leaving
nothing to be considered beyond the appropriation for maintenance.
There are two vacancies on the medical staff caused by the resignation of
Dr. Wan. R. Griffin, who left this service in last March to go into private
work, and the resignation of Dr. Houck, which occurred last April. The de-mands
of the Army for medical officers has been such that it has been impos-sible
to fill these vacancies.
The routine work of the Hospital has been kept up very well indeed con-sidering
the shortness of working forces in practically every department, and
our success in this direction has been due, in a great measure, to the loyalty
and industry of those remaining with us, and to them I desire to express my
sincere appreciation for their efforts and fidelity.
Respectfully submitted, John McCampbell.
