JULIETTA MUCK TRACT CHANGED INTO PARK LAND Garden, Lawns Surround Pool at Insane Institution. BY JERRY SHERIDAN Seven acres of muck land surrounding a nearly drled-up spring have been turned Into a natural park with a stone-rimmed pool, rock garden. sloping lawns and beautiful trees on grounds of the Marion County Insane Asylum at Julietta, Clarence Wheatley, county commissioner, first conceived the idea more than a year ago and today, as It nears completion, he and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Barrett, in charge of the institution, find that its beauty has exceeded their expectations. The project was started last September, utilizing scrap building material. Mr. Wheatley said the work should be completed within a few montns. Pool 150 Feet Long The pool, about 150 feet long and 40 feet wide, is of a curved, irregular •hape. The stone rim and facing has been built from old street surfacing and stone curbing materials. In the middle is a star-shaped flower bed, Also of stone, decorated at each point by an ornament carved by stoneworkers. The sulphur spring was the starting point for the project, Mr. Wheatley said, with the garden laid out around it. The flow of water almost had stopped, w-hen the garden was started, but now it has increased to supply water for the pool, overflowing into a second, smaller pond. It is recalled that Indianapolis residents held picnics at Julietta years ago, when the sulphur spring and shady grounds were among the attractions. Originally called Sulphur Springs, the name was changed after application for a postofflee was refused. Another Sulphur Springs, Ind., already had thconcession. Julietta was second choice.

Water Has Therapeutic Value Durins the Civil War, a railroad was built through the land now occupied by the institution. The late John Kitley, former Marion County commissioner, recorded that the town prospered during the seventies. Residents of the district recognized the therapeutic value of the mineral water and often carried jugs and buckets of it to their homes. The rock garden is part of a larger plan for occupational therapy being followed by both Mr. and Mrs. Barrett, who assign tasks to patients able to work. More than 1200 truckloads of stone have been hauled into the garden and about 700 loads of dirt used to fill low spots. Elm trees have been planted. A crushed rock walk is to circle the pool. Water from the spring has been harnessed to provide a miniature falls on one side. A small stone band stand has been built north of the pool. The institution itself is a business concern with a large commissary, bakery. 500-acre farm, dairy, laundry and carpenter shop. Daily Patient Cost 41 Cents Under Mr. Barrett's direction, the per capita cost of caring for the 350 patients has been lowered to 41 cents a day. This cost includes, he said, bid Value of food raised on the farms. Expenses were $55,238.50 last year, but only about S2OOO was paid out in cash. There are 85 head of cattle, 110 head of hogs and 10 draft horses on the grounds now. The building, a brick, ivy-covered structure, is lurnished inside with cream and light green walls. Mr. Barrett said efforts to make patients as well as workers feel the responsibility of managing the institution have been successful. Each year almost a score of patients are sent out to their homes, some cured, others improved, Mr. Barrett said.
