INDIANA LEGISLATURE.

Ommiom and ccrLiihitiis cf this report for want of space ia Ihest columns rtiU appear in an cprxndU to Volume XXII of tU lircvicr Ltg 'alallic Reports IN 8 EN ATE. Tummy, Jan. 20. 1SS5-3 p. m. SEW ASYLUMS. Mr. ITa: e's lill 1 for the complelien cf tiree new insane aylama with pendin; t uendment to complete bat one. wai under d Tensilon the question being oa a motion to recommit the bill to the Committee en ratlic Baildings. 3e pace 102 ot these Drevier Eeport Mr. MAG EE said: I don't know how Sentrs can ascertain anything new aboat this ;cestion b7 a recommitment of this hill. There is a printe report of tbe commlaaiontrs for the construction of these new hospitals, in which is a speeiSc statement of the itecaa which are estimated expenditure?. This pamphlet h&3 been on the desk of every Senator since tbe opening of this ttfsion. The State has spent half a million of dollars upon these building alrtaly. No mar. nas ' quest'oaed the proposition that they are absolutely required. Nobody has questioned, or darn to question, the integrity of the ouimisaion thai iä to have charge of this fund. No msn can tit down and aoecify each iteai, and x a limit upjn it. You mut appropriate a sum in prose for the purples named. rut in order to give the Senate and ilonse of Representatives as full information a the commission i let If has, each item is specified in the piinted report. I can sea no good to cone from a postponement of this matter. I am aware tome Senators eaytbey would like to know what provision is to ke made to obtain the money with which to complete tne;e buildings. In a few days a bill will be introduced providing a way to raise this fend. Itcat't originate in the Senate, but will be presented in tbe other branch of the Legitletnre. It is competent for the State to male provision rn two ways; one by a lean, and the other by a; tax levy. I am informed it i possible'for the State to borrow money at Z)i per cent., and it will net per cent, to place the loan, makii e the totsi interest per cent., wfclch, in my judgment, is better than to lei y a tax. I know of no community suiTerinn in the S'ate to-day. Tbe business interests of the country are depressed, the farmer is not now getting a very large return for his product; but everybody hopes and everybody knows that in tbe next year or eighteen mctiihs we will be on the same clane ot vrceierity as In 1871 and 1S7L. Tne y.' ;te ;'s io a better fin-iucial con ditin relatively tban any town or county u the State. It has proportionately las debt and more wraith than any citv cr county in this Union. We are amply able to do ibis work now. We will have upon tbe present levy money enough to meet the additional appropriation required in 1S83 to untrurt inese buildings. The tax levy won't have to be chanced one lot. We will be able to pay the appropriation made ttna far lor the completion of these build irgs without borrowing money, unless it be a t mrorary loan nntil we realize upon the tx Next year we will have a new a3?essnei t. Tbe Senator from Owen (Mr. Fewier) rjs the assessment wil' be reduced. Mr. FOWLER (in hikt): I get my infermalion fro ax the Auditct of ite. Mr. MAGEE: I don't believe th-Auditor of State knows any better than yo i or I, or any other man. The money to be realizad from the present levy will cover every contingency ucder that appropriation. If this bill becomps a law there will be no necessity for any additional levy or the borrawin? of any funds. When we examine the Unsocial condition of the State, there can be found no leatocabie objection to making this appropriation. If that same prudence and sazacity conduct the management cf our State affairs it atkas been given in times past, there will be c reason either to raise the levy or increase taxation. I think the motion to recommit will be defeated. Mr. WILLARD: I do not think a batter illustration could be given In fa7or of having this bill recommitted than the very table in this report ot the commissioner, appointed to erect these buildings. Reads from the report. Two years ago there was appiopriated $000,000 lor construction, aad now the v come in with a bill to appropriate ?33$,C00 for ene year and 223 000 for another year, which added to the SS00.000 makes I,1G3,COO for this purpose, when the report of the ccmcaifsioa, to whici attentioa has bfen railed, showed they ought to cost .j"ol (oo. ' Mr. WEIR: What was the estimated cost? II r. FOULKE: 51,200,000. The ?G00,000 appropriation was to carry them throajh the first two years. Mr. FOWLER: I am inforn id it was understood at the time the bill passed that 00,000 was all that was to be aopropriated. Nobody ever dreamed that an additional appropriation would be asked for. Mr. WILLARD (resuming): Two years apo $000,000 was appropriated, and it wai supposed that sum would build these asylums, although there were no estimates made at the time. It was impossible to have eetimates, because various plans of conjunction were discussed, both the cottage and detached, bat there were no architects' plans made and no estimates submitted. Thev only asked for the construction of theae buildings $331.OCO. and yet they propose now to appropriate in a lump, without specif; ins what it is for, the tum together with the $000 000 alreadv appropriated the mm of $l,lti3,000; $103,X0 over a million ot dollars. If this bill will show specifically what this large appropriation is for, what parties are to carry ont tbe contracts, and how the money is to be applied, 1 will support it; but I' don't ."propete to be put in a false position by the remarks ot the Senator from Cass (Mr. Magee). I don't propose it is to be raid that Senators who want this bill to specifically state what the money is appropriated for, that they are m favor of tto aping this work. I am here to vote every dollar necessary for the completion of Oese buildings. I a in here to tee their construction goes on as cheaply as possible for the State of Indiana. 1 don't want one-half million ot dollars thrown after the f 0)0,000 already appropriated, without knowing what the money is to o for, who is to get it, or how it is to ba applied. 1 think the Committee on Public Jildicgs ought to state what proportion of this money is to go in one direction and wr at in another. The report of the Comn.isorer has a good many "extras' in tbe estimates, yet we are asked to appropriate in a lump a very large sum of monsy, which may all go as extras to these contractors, unless seme limit is placed upon thew appropriations. I believe it to be the duty of the committee wben they reported this bii! here to show the estimates upon which they based it. The basis of the committee does not correspond with the basis of the commissioners for the erection of these asylums at all. There is a difference of over ?:-CO,0OO between the estimates of the commissioners and the committee which report this bill. Wben they come with this bill in proper form, I believe there will not be a single opposing voice. Mr. CAMPBELL of St. Joseph: I had the jleuiuecl being en the roxsjalttce two

years ao which had under consideration th bill providing for the erection ( thee buildin pa, and, aa far a say rec I action goes, there was no such idea that the cjst ot these buildings should be -limited to 000,0u0. Section 1 of that DillMr. FOWLER: The then Senator from Allen County (Mr. Bell); told xne last night that it was the general sense of Senators, who supported that bill, that it would eost only $000,000 to complete these buildings. I give it to the Senate just as Senator Ball gave it to me. Mr. CAMPBELL: I was goin? to call attention to tbe acL Read.. It was not expected tbey would oe completed in two years, but at tbe expiratioo el that time other commif doners would be appointed to carry on the work. I believe tbe work will be better done if we pass this bill appropriating tbe aggregate a"rnount, leaving spsclfic amounts to be fixed by the commissioners as we did two years ago. Mr.McINTOiH: I ant to refer to a matter tb Senator has jast spoken of, and I want to state what I kdow. I was in tbe Senate ail tbe time that bill was consi iered in open Senate, and, a? it happened, I heard the committee discussing the question some. It was plain and easy understood, and every Senator ought to know that the 000,000 was to tuild those hospitals. I urged upon tbe Senator from Vanderburg Mr. Rahm), wben the b!ll provided for but or. hospital, not to allow any other hospital to be added to it. I told him I wanted to vote for his bill, but he told me that Senator Bell insisted he must have one at Fort Wayne; and they gt the bill amended eo as to build three. On the fl)or of the Senate no one estimated whit th-y would cost. Bat the tenth eection of tbe bill implies, and the understanding was thu .:tU0t0 was all that would he asked for. 'J hat is the way I understood it, although I voted against the bill. There is where they get away with those who had an implied understanding tiat $000,000 would build these institutions. Ra1s Section 15 tixes a sliding scale for tbe capacity of these institutions not less than 200 nor more than 700. At tbe central hospital the management say that it costs about $1,000 a bed. If the capacity cf each of thee three hospitals was fixed at 200, the presumption is fair that $200,000 for each would have been enough. And Senators talked upon the floor here that probably they would want to build cottage hospitals, and didn't want them so large. That was not the implied underttaLding, but it was talked. It was my understanding, and, I belifcve, that of the Senate, tt at $20,000 would build each cf the three small hospitals, although the shape the Ihine wai in I voted against tbe bill. I promised my people after 1 wa elected (there waa nothing said about it before) that I would use my irflaence and Rive my vote to build an additional hospital for the mtane, but the way that bill was attended I was opposed to ic, and 1 am opposed to it to day. If we can get at what is proper and just to the people I am in favor of building an additional asylum for the intane. Superintendent Fietcber, of the Central Hospital, says in his report that 508 are all the insane in the State outside of the hospital, and many of these, under the law, ere not entitled to be admitted to the State Hospital. Five hundred and eight is tbe number in the rerort he mikej. Reads Where are the 2 020 the Seaatjr nom Caf s ( Mr. Magee) talks aboat? Mr. MACJKE: la lsSO aeventy-tive counties reported 033 persons iu lh- alm-hom??, incurable insane, but it was estimated that there are about 2.000. &r. McINIOSH (resuming): Superintendent Fletcher says tnere i some error in gathering the statistics of IbSJ, and tbere was a fahe impression made. As he has made this a business and a study, I rely more ui5u wbat he suys than anythicg I conld gather myself. Two years aeo, I confess, I was ender the iicpression that there was a larger number: but I have changed my mind about that. There is another singular thing about this: Eight hundred arid thirty-four thousand four hundred aod forty-one dollars, they claim, is the contract price for building the three institutions, so they ask, with the appropriation made two years ago and with the appropriation contained in this bill, 22S,Ö5S more than the printed price of all three buildings. It is the duty of this Senate and of tbe General Assembly to take care of the interests of the tax-paver, and I for one expect to stand here advocating their cause until the close ot the session. Mr. FOULKE: It is a very excellent thing, and highly gratifying to the tax-payers to know that there are men on the. door of the Senate so ready and willing to champion tteir cause. The Senator from Owen (Mr. Fowler) said among other objections to this bill there are other claims betöre us that we should consider. I ask every Senator upon this floor if there id any other claim in thia wide world which is paramount to the cla;m of the insane? I ak if there is any c!afs of beings under the sun so utterly under your power for protection as that class who it has pleased Divine Froyidence to deprive of their reason? Mr. WEIR: Has the Senator from Wayne any reason to suppose there is any Senator on this floor not in favor of doing all tha can be done for that unfortunate class of people? Mr. FOULKE: The Senator must have forgotten that there has been within twentyfour hours a proposition made here to cut eff two of these asylums; that the contracts should be carried out, but only one should be furnished for the space cf the next two year?. It is said by tbe Senator from Greene (Mr. Mcintosh ) that Superintendent Fletcher reports that there are only öOSoutaide of the asylums unprovided for. I submit if he had read a line or two farther the paper shows ro uch thing. Reads Naw what are the facta in the Ccuntv Poor-house a'one there are more than 50S persons who require treatment. The only question to consider is how many inrace are there in this State unprovided for. and what means should be taken to provide for them The aggregate capacity of the three institutions will be nearly 1,034; the act provides the minimum shall be 000 and the maximum 2,100. I remember it was stated in committee two years ago that $0)0,000 would carry us two years. My recollection is that statement was made by the Senator from Allen (Mr. Bell), who now says he understood the entire approoriatloa was to be iooo.eco. SomethiDc has been said as to the manner in which this law was put through. That net upon the part of the last General Assembly was as proper as anything of the kind could possibly be. It was the opinion of every Senator who expressed himself that three small hospitals which bebetter than one lare one, and we acted noon that principle. The last General Assembly did right in providing for three. The ratio all over the world shows that the opportunity for cures is largest in asjlums erected on the cottage plan. The Senstor from Greene is not aware that the asylum at Richmond is to be built oa the cottage plan. We have in view the restoration of the insane, and it is not proper for the General Assembly to look at a few dollars and a few cents. The duty is imposed npon us by the Constitution, which everyone of us, when we came here, lifted his right hand and swore he would support. That does not mean inadequate provision; it does cot mean that we should keep 3C0 or 4C0, and let 4.000 or 5.000 go wandering about the State. We should not allow a single insane wanderer in the State. A few dollars, &d a few cents axe cct to be wefghed

In the bahre? against them. Ta? Senator from Allen (Mr. Bell) made an elegant speech upon ttia cnbject two years ago. in whicii he uxfid by every Jrapulte tta; can actuate humanity tot to leave these people unprotected. I am surprised to f od, since one ef these hospitals was cot located in his town, he does all he can to prevent tbe completion of two of them. We are told that Judge Robinson (one of the Commissioners) does cot btheve in the completion of but one of these asylums, yet we have over his official signature the request that this identical bill shall be passed by this General As:eajbly. There must have bfen some mi.understandiEg io this matter. The Senator (Mr. Fowler) must haze misunderstood him, for I am nre Jade Robinson would not stultify his otlicial act by saving he did do' mean tbat tj which his otlicial sigratcre is subscribed. Would it not be much better for tb State House to be allowed to lie over for t vo years, rather than one cf these hospi'a'.s; aye, should it not lie uncompleted forever. rathr tban the insane cf the State sbould so Ger aod remain in the condition they are in to-day? An objection by the Senator from Laurence (Mr. Willard) and one other Senator (V.r. Mrlntcsh) isthat this bill calls for a treat deal more money tbaa the eintragt price; tLat tbe rootract price is $S,00D, and tLe bill calls for $1,100.00). includirg the 00,000 appropriated a'j-eady. Tbe ConiKiissoners come to us with a etateaent of things absolutely essential. The Senator from Laurence asks what the objection is to specifying how much shall go to u:ake every window acd door, acd ho jv niucn for htaling apparatus aud so on. My objcc'.icn is thlt: Yon never can erect ab lildiug of any size in which 3 02 cm tell beforehand to a dollar and a cent how much wilt be nteded lor this acd for that. Mr. WILLARD: Can't you say how nvih will be needed for the hospital at Evansville. hew much for the one at Richmond, aad how much tor the one at Logansport? Mr. FOULKE: We can't say that intelligently. It may be that the price of materials in a year or so will so change that it may cost a little more to build in one place or a little lees in another. What I object to is the putting of these Commissioners under a cast iron rule. If in their discretion tbey can do belter by putting $SQ0 in a heating apparatus at Evausville, or taking od 500 et Richmond, they ought to have the right to do so; or t tby can give additional facilities in ,l h ica'ter of waterworks at Richmond or L -asv: Je or Logansport, fbeiieve they can ttii be;;?r than w whetheritis necessary c: ::.t. I don't enppDse any Serator can tell cs whether any of these estimates cover the exact amount. We have left it ti four of the best men, with the Coventor of tbe State, believing their only parDose will be to perform the duty which tae law imposes upon toem. I believe in leaving it to them, aud not with us, who know totting about seen things, to determine what this money can be best expended for. Mr. THOMPSON: Certainly the 8enator who has just tal en his seat does not think for a moment tbat there is aDy member ol the Senate opposed to taking care of the insane of the State. Oar State is not able to raite the means this bill proposes to appropiiata. 1 Senators may tal about the ability of the people, but tor tfce last three, four or five j ears this State has been losing in population. If there was a questioQ in the hut canveba that was brought forward with determination, it was Oy the Democrats reflect Ing upon tbe Republican administration of the affairs of this State. We came into power :ie, I understand it, on the promise of economy and opposition to increased taxation in this State. That was the preparing caase of my presence in this Senate. I am opposed to any more taxation ; and now you get up a scheme for it 13 a echeme it was prompted by some three centlemen in tsis Senate Chamber one couldn't agree tbat tbe other ehould take the building: aud finally tbey agreed they would take one building ep!ece. It will atlbrd me tbe greatest pleasare to vote for tie taking care of the insane and the oppressed whenever we have the ability to d i it: but we are going to shipwreck ourselves if we go back upon the promhes made by the prty of which 1 am a member, and go into an avalanche of speculation on insane asylums or anything else. I am decidedly opposed to it. The State now is owing debts to her citizsns wfco are now knocking at our doors, and she is refusing to pay. I regard a refusal to pay on the part of tbe State as a very great reSection upon the honor of the State. We have the ability to build one asylum and finish it, I think, entirely, and we have the ability to protect the other two against injury; and in two or three years we maybe able to finish these also. Mr. FAULKNER: I hive long since learned that two wrongs never made one right. I think it was wrong to build three, thought so before, and never changed my mind about the State undertaking to build these three asylums at once. My judgment was we ought to build one, for we needed it. When they got three together I voted against it. But we are now in for it. We have spent some fr.OO.OOO, and the only way I o out of it, with any honor to the Suits, is to build three institutions. I think my friend from Lawrence (Mr. Willard) is right about it; we oucht to know where this monev is

going. We onght to have some specirica- ! lions, ine idea or voting that much money without knowing any thing about it, would be wrong. I will vote as liberally to take care of these unfortunates as any Senator on the floor. I have been called, and it has been thrown up to n e that I am the watch dog of the Treafiury. That is not the case; we have but one watch dog in Indiana. I have tried to vote the best I could for all concerned If we can't get tbis bill in a btter shape I shall vote for it as it is, bat I bkall first try to get it in better ehape. I am sorry to hear talk about the State going all to pieces In my county we consider real estate worth more than it was several jeara ago. I toiok when the next assessment Is mi.de, with the same per cent, of taxation we have now, we will raiee money enough to build thes hospitals by being economical. That is my idea about it. Mr. RAHN: I had the honor to introlace a bill two vears ago for tbe erection of one asylum. It was amended so as to provide for three. The original Vill was to approdriate $203.000. The Senator from Allen (Mr. Betl) Increased that amount to $000,000. Tbat appropriation did not mean to build all three, but that in two years we could appropriate the necessary amount. 1 venture tbe assertion that there was hardly a single Senator but knew we would have to make additional appropriations. I don't want the impression to go out tbat we intended it would only require $;00 000 to build the three asylums. The law provides for the accommodation in these asylums ef not l6ss tban 200 nor more than TOO each. Ths idea was to provide for 1,500 In the three. The reason 200 was put in there is that there was aa old college building at Logansport which Dr. Fletcher, now Superintendent of the Central Asylum, thought we could fix up in a couple of months so aj to hold from 2D to 300 patients. That was the one for the 200 patients, and the others were to be on a larger plan. Now here we are, haying authorized three by law; and they are in process of construction, each one; and the contractors are on the ground; and if you hold back an appropriation it will bankrupt them. The Senator from Lawrence (Mr. Willard) asks why the committee didn't specify what we need that money for. The

bill went befare a comnrt'ee and was investigated thoroughly, and came to the concluiion tbat the monev asked to be appropriated was proper. W have confidence in tbe commissioners with the Governor. I don't see how they can make any more detailed statement than they have in their report. Certainly, whatever money is not required the commiss'oners will not draw, and wten the buildltgs are completed tbe raocey. of courss, reverts back to the Treasury. I stand ready to vote for the bill, even if we have to raise the money Dy direct taxation. Mr. McIN'TOSH: I stated when I was up before tbat I had understood $0)0, ODO would be all the money rpqiired to build these institutions Some Senator who followed me tried to make epDrt of that declaration. Tne only trouble two years ao about building an additional asylum for the insane was the place it should be located ; that was all the trouble I want to read f 'o-n Snatr Vau Vooihib' speech on pae 227. Reads from vo?. xxi. ' f tbe Brevier Reports. Now it they bad built six according to that idea (at $100,000 each) the cost would have bun only f 000,000. Reads. 1 Nobody ever doubted this conclusion. There is a little amusiDg thing occurred alorg here. Förths edification of the Senator from Cass ( Mr. Magee) 1 wish to read a little speech he mide. Reads. He was against building them, if that was alt the reason. Mr. WINTER: 1 don't believe ths people of this county are opposed to the appropriation this bill calls for. The appropriation is large; there is no question about that at all; but the subject for which the appropriation is made is much larger than the appropriation, I am very much rejoiced tha: tnere has not been a single Senator that ha for one moment questioned the obligation tbat rests updn members of the Sena'.e, aud, indeed, upon the people of the State, to make full and adequate provision for tbe care of tbe insane. The feelings common ta all humanity appeal to us in the strongest possible way to make such provision. Aud in addition we have the positive mandate of tbe Constitution which imposes the duty upon us. The only question is whether it is indicious or proper at this time to make the appropriation called for by this bill. Upon the question of the general propriety of these appropriations I am heartily in accord with the bill and opposed to the amendment offered by the Senator from Offen (Mr. Fowler). It is a conceded fact that the State of Indiana has commenced the building cf three asylums and has actually paid out about half a million of dollar?, and to thai extent we have got into the enterprise, and there is no retrcgading out of it. By tbe amendment we wonld ban had one a?ylnm completed; which one we don't know. Tnat would give riee to a struggle as between Evansville, Richmond and Transport, which would induce lobbying in the interests of each one cf these three points as to which ore wonld be favored br the Commissioners. That would be a spacUcle for tbe edification of tbe people of Iidiaoa! That would the be first result to ful'ow the rassage cf the bill were this amendment aaopted. Then it provides that two are not to be completed. They are to bs left standing uncompleted for at least two years from thia time, aod we don't know how much longer, because when once stopped the force of inertia has to be overcome to get started agiiu. It strikes me tbat will not commend itself to the w'8dom of this body as a very businesslike proposition, losing sight of tbe welfare cf a great number of insane who will not be provided for. If this bill is passed it will furnish accommodation for eyery min, wo man and child in the State. : nd that will satisfy the demand mad on us by the Cou8titutiou 0! eur State, a demand tsat has been neglected very much to tbe discredit of tbe State, to make full, complete and adequate provision for the insane of the State. It has been said that this bill does not specify for what purpose this money is to be appropriated. It has not occurred to my mind that there is any doubt or uncertainty on that subject. I thin k the report of tbe commissioners fufnisbes adeanate information as to what is to be dot e with the money. Reads from tbe report We might as well have done with this subject now es at some future time. It is a duty that rests upon this Legislature, and has ever since the adoption of the Constitution in 1S51, and I am not prepared to vote to postpone tbe discharge of a duty which has been already much too long postponed. The inouon to recommit aud the amendment were both rejected. The bill was ordered engrossed. See page 102.
