men in Charge of Hospital Adopt
Scheme for Quick Relief for
Congested Conditions.
The State, 15th.
Deciding upon the erection of three
new buildings on the asylum prop
erty and the completion of the Taylor
building, the asylum commission and
board of regents at a meeting yester-I
day reached plans for the immediate
relief of the congested conditions at i
the State Hospital for the Insane. The E
work on the buildings will commence 1I
Monday, and it will be carried on with ,
as much haste as carn be accomplish
ed without sacrificing the safety of s
the buildings and the comfort of the:
patients. The work is under the sup- I
ervision of the board of regents. Dr. t]
J. W. Babcock, superintendent of the a
hospital. and Dr. W. W. Ray were ap- b
pointed a committee on building. They
will have specifications prepared dur
ing the present Week.
, The present plan for the erection of! th
new buildings is a forerunner of fu- V
ture plans for the development of the w
hospital. The segregation of the races.
and separate wards for the tubercular T!
and pellagra patients are matters to ro
be accomplished in future plans. ly

The Asylum cohnimisin Will prob- tiE
ably bbgin the erection of new build- thi
ings for the hospitalt by August 1, on by

mission is authorized to do this by a th(
joint resolution passed by the general ch;
assembly at its last session. A meet- bei
ing of the commission will be held Jr.
next week, when various sites will be La:
considered and a selection made. Fol- I Su:
lowing a session of the board of re- I
gents and asylum commission that oc- of
cupied the day, Dr. Babcock made this ing
statement last night. The construc- Jor
tion of three new buildings on the Pei
asylum property and the completion of Ra:
the Taylor building is the work of lun
the board of regents, money for the
work being appropriated by the gen- *
eral assembly in the regular appro- *
priation bill for improvements at the *
hospital.*
The asylum commission is charg- *
ed with the specific duty of purchas
ing lands and erecting buildings there*

The work done by the commission

Bids for Sites.
The commission has not yet deci

evening that numerous bids had beE
submitted and these have ben and wi
be further considered before a pu
chase is made but that the matter wi
certainly be wound up next week.
The resolution makes it mandator
tipon the commission to purchas
suitable lands and devise plans an

The Taylor building was starte<
everal years ago, but was never fin.

'his will be the first work done al
iough the other buildings will start
bout the same time. The three new
lildings will be substantial struc

meral plan of the asylum property.

The asylum now has 1,584 patients.
te cong6sted condition and the need
r segregation of the races and sick
patients are well known to the

other took the position that it
i be nip and tuck between Blease p
V2cLeod as to which would carryr

a first man quoted is an anti-dis-.n
.ry man and the second is a lo-;
>ptionist. One believes that li-a
is a legitimate article of com

to
)ut it up like this," said the anti- an
1sary man. "The great majori- reu
local optionists in this section an
sople who believe in the free and ed.

is money than any of them and he is a

ly as do the other candidates."
Another man sized the situation up {
about like this:
yi
"I am going to vote for Blease. I
did not vote for him two years ago,
because of what they said of his dis-;
pensary connection; but I am unable
-I C
to see that they have ever proved any
thing and I am quite sure he is one,
of the ablest candidates in the lot. I
think Blease is going to get at least;
C
a thousand votes in York county, and i
although I believe McLeod will beat
him if he gets in the second race with
him, I believe he can be elected in a
second race with Featherstone."

The rapidly approaching season will
unquestionably be the best in the his
tory of Wrightsville and Carolina
Beaches, the delightful summer resorts
in close proximity to Wilmington.
Practically every organization of im
portance will meet at Wilmington and
Wrightsville between June 1st, and
September 1st, among which are
the United Commercial Travelers
of the Carolinas, the North Caro- |
lina Press Association, North Car-;M
olina Good Roads Association; I
State Medical Society, State Den
tal Society, the Bar Association,
the Bankers' Association, State Coun- 01
cil, Jr. 0. U. A. M., the North Caro
lina Architects, and probably others.
Nearly, if not quite all, the associa
tions will take a side trip down the
Cape Fear river with probably a stop
at Carolina Beach, as no trip to Wil
Ir ngton is complete without a trip f
on the steamer Wilmington. ,
One of the most important of the fol
many improvement at Wrightsville
Beach is the enlargement of Tarry- ho
moore Hotel, Mr. W. J. Moore,
manager, the excellent hotel hav- tei
ing added another wing to the
north of the old part, in which anI
are 60 well appointed rooms and
equipped with all the convenences
f a modern hostelry. The addi
dion extends out toward the ocean
and is so arranged that every room
commands a view of the ocean. The e*
extension is built on concrete piers, ~I
and is connected with the old part
>f the hotel by spacious verandas.
Of equal, if not greater importance Al
s the extensive improvements at the
seashore Hotel, Mr. Edgar L. Hinton, J
nanager. A steel pier has .been con
~tructed from the rear entrance of IL.
he hotel to extend 700 feet out into
he ocean. The Pier is 30 feet wide
he greater part of its length and
>ut at the end is 50 feet wide. At
he end of the pier will be erected brin
two-story building to be used for-t
oncerts, dancess and other forms of
musement. The roof of the build- coug
rg will be used as observation ye- Wini
anda, from which a fine view of the nl
each can be had. The pier is really a nl
mntinuation of the hotel veranda. The part
jer will be greatly patronized by fish- pain
tg parties as well as for the different .ip
rms of amusement mentioned above.grp
