people vs erastue gibson battery people vs west battery people vs orson hudson assault with intent to kill the following report in reference to the asylum was also handed in special report of the grand jury for the february term on tt condition of the territorial insane asylum on friday alie ad dinst we visited and inspected the territorial insane asylum shown through the building by the medical superintendent and other official and made a careful and reasonably thorough examination of iab different depart menta and we found fifty thred male and forty seve r 1 1 cat in mah aho hundred dai considering its greatly overcrowded condition the discipline order and cleanliness maintained is not only praiseworthy but surprising and the officers and others having immediate charge are entitled to much credit the portion of the building now completed was originally intended and is well adapted jor alie accommodation and treatment of only seventy five patients and the crowding of one hundred insane persons into the broce intended for seventy five has already led to and will in the future be prolific of evils and disadvantages can scarcely be exaggerated the fifty five male patients are all of necessity kept upon one floor in some instances as many as ten occupy a single sleeping apartment the insane of a violent and quarrelsome type being compelled to mix and associate with those of a quiet and melancholy type thus greatly retarding the recovery of both and especially the latter the same remarks will apply to the female department it is only by the utmost care and vigilance of the officers and employees that proper sanitary and disciplinary conditions are maintained were this to be relaxed for one moment the result might be some great calamity the crowded condition of alie maly department especially is lucli that were a disturbance to occur there among the more violent inmates the employees would be practically powerless to suppress it before some terrible calamity would occur the result of this crowded condition is also to greatly retard the cure of patients while the asylum had only its quota of patients the percentage of cures was much greater than at present and to make matters still worse tho number of patients is constantly increasing and it is sate to say from alie information we have that there are today to day in utah over one hundred insane persons who should be receiving treatment at an institution of tin kind but who with the present accommodations can only be received and treated vacancies occur bv the discharge of cured patents additions to the press facilities of this institution are imperatively demanded ind it is to be hoped eliat the present legislature will not adjourn without making rn ample appropriation for tah purpose to neglect or refuse to do fao would in our opinion be a serious mistake and a grave injustice to this most unfortunate clise of our fellow beings NEWEL foreman the court was glad to know that the grand jury had made public re porton port on alie asylum as it was important that the information resulting from their visit would have its effect in rendering aid tt such an institution
