Obviously, this slow but progressive manner of development | igjg. was bound to meet with considerable delay and much disappointment. It has taken years to be developed and | ! crystalized to the point of action. I , For Permanent Improvements, the j amuont of *$600,000 was appropriated | in 1947, $352,000 in 1948, by the Gen eral Assembly,—total $952,000. This I sum runs into figures that would have been almost beyond our imagin-j ation when the Institution was found-, ed in 1918. Yet it is, in fact, the only, i appropriation ever made that would even provide more than a beginning to meet the needs that were already j in evidence. So much needed to be I done and so much had never been , done that, with the high cost of con- ' struction, it is easy to understand I that a large job cannot possibly be ! finished with the amount above men-! jtioned; yet, the amount available is j going to be of tremendous assistance ; and will provide an immeasurable J amount to help the many people that ! are waiting for it. | To mention briefly a few needs ' other than actual new dormitory con- I ' struction, which is the way of adding i new beds, w'e were obliged to spend approximately $40,000 to provide an adequate water supply by running a : 6 inch main from our storage tank j to connect with a main inside the city ' limits of Clinton. Old buildings that I were temporary from the beginning, ; but which have stood for more than a quarter of a century, must be re placed with more permanent, sanitary j i and comfortable structures. A build- 1 ing to house employees is necessary. I Much new machinery and additions I I to auxiliary service,—as laundry, kit- ! chen, dining room, etc.,—must be ■ provided, and considerable repairs | to many other buildings are some of : the compelling needs. We do antici- { pate being able to add approximately j ; 310 new beds and relieve crowding ! to a small degree with funds already available and it is our hope that the next General Assembly (1949) will appropriate $600,000 as an additional sum to complete our program of- j buildings and improvements to the i point where all current needs shall 1 have .been met except central heat- ! ing plants, and future needs for per- i manent improvements should be re- i latively small for the next several j years. Siqce the construction of a! new water line, two new dormitories, a building for employees and two ^ small cottages for farmer and dairy man represent the major beginning, of our program, and this work has not progressed very far, details of ! the program need to be carried over until another Annual Report can be made. Sutiice it to say that, during the ensuing fiscal year, we expect to have the pleasant experience of much activity in this line throughout Marion E. Lawson, D.D.S., Dentist.
