cost of $700, which will supply an abundance of water for the gardens. $90,000 has been appropriated to be used as follows: $35,000 to construct three female wards and an associate dining room in the basement to accommodate 120 patients; $35,000 to construct wards and an association dining room in the basement to accommodate 120 male patients; $10,000 to construct a tubercular cottage for 30 female patients, so that this class can be isolated to themselves; $10,000 to construct a tubercular cottage for 30 male patients, so that this class can be isolated to themselves.

Electric fans have been installed in the amusement hall, which enables diversions for patients during the heated term. Electric fans have been installed in the ironing room of the laundry, which makes that department more comfortable to the patients and employes.

Sanitary floors will be put in two associate dining rooms and in 12 toilet, bath rooms and lavatories. Metal ceiling will be put in on the fourth floor of Administration Building.

There are many other improvements and repairs that have been made recently, such as repairing roofs, cornice to buildings, construction of "brakes" for airing and screening unsightly articles from the different departments. Putting in a system of order, cleanliness, book-keeping, requisitions and record-keeping. Much work is being done on the grounds, building of walks and putting in curbing on driveways. New roofs have been put on several buildings in the dairy department, the cemetery put in first-class condition and a dead wagon purchased. All coffins are trimmed up neatly and the patients given Christian burial. A fire department has been organized and additional equipment purchased. Everything that needs paint and whitewashing, such as barns, fences, basements, buildings and bedsteads, are receiving a new dress as fast as possible.

VIRGINIA.-Central State Hospital, Petersburg.-A new modern cottage and all necessary equipment for the treatment of female tuberculosis patients is about completed. It will accommodate about 50 patients. The pathological department is being improved and a specialist in this line of work has been put in charge and will devote his entire time to this department of the hospital medical work. There are now in the hospital 1378 patients, exceeding the normal capacity of the hospital by 150. The next legislature will, of course, be urged to appropriate sufficient money to provide the necessary accommodations. There are, however, no insane confined in any of the jails or almshouses of the State or other local institutions. Various improvements are contemplated for the coming year.
