REPORT OF TRUSTEES
LUNATIC ASYLtTM
Near Milledgeville Ga October 1st 1882
To His Excellency Alfred H Colquitt
Governor of Georgia
Sir The Trustees of the State Lunatic Asylum sub
mit herewith the Annual Eeport of the Superintendent
and Eesident Physician of the Institution for the twelve
months from October 1st 1881 to this date which with
the accompanying Eeports of the subordinate officers
give full and particular information of its operations
for the year
While the expense per capita is slightly more for each
patient than for the last few years the increase of the
expenses is less than the Trustees had anticipated since
wages food clothes and all other items of consumption
have increased during the year in a much greater ratio
The Trustees take pleasure in reporting a decided
change and improvement in the management and ad
ministration of the affairs of the Asylum particularly in
the attention given to the mental and moral treatment of
the Patients besides decided improvements to the prop
erty of the Institutionthere have been greater advances
in these than in any one year since their connection with
it and the Superintendent confidently expects to make
greater improvements in the same direction daring the
next year
There are now in the institution 979 Patients fully
100 if not 179 more than should be therein to insure
them proper care and treatment The Superintendent es
timates that for the year 1883 there will be an average
of 1200 patients in the Asylum and for 1884 when all
the projected new buildings will be completed and ocKeport of Trustees
cupiecl 1400 patients for these the Trustees ask an ap
propriation for 1883 of 16000000 and for 1884 of 190
00000 being at the rate oi 35 cents per patient each
day and including the payment of all expenses of every
kind viz Salaries of officers employees clothing
wages subsistence fuel and transportation ordinary and
extraordinary repairs and improvements of all the build
ings and other property of the State medical supplies
and various contingencies which cannot be foreseen or
specifically estimated forbut no provision is included
therein for insuring the property which matter is again
brought to the attention of your Excellency and the
Legislature
It will be seen from the report of the Superintendent
and Steward that we carry forward a considerable un
expended balance from the appropriation of last year
The reason that this amount is carried forward is this
There are large improvements and repairs necessary to
the present buildings and grounds to preserve the
health of the patients and preserve the large property
of the State but as all expenses of labor and materials
continued to increase the Trustees feared the appropria
tions might not be sufficient for the expenses of the year
and these veiy necessary improvements and repairs
were postponed until the end of the year when it would
be positively known whether the money would be in hand
to do this work As it has been found that we have gone
through the year and have laid up money enough to pay
for the improvements and repairs they have been entered
upon It will require the whole unexpended balance to
pay the cost of same
NEW BUILDINGS
As stated in the Report for last year a few days after
the Act of the Legislature was passed making appro
priations for the new buildings the Trustees convened
at the Asylum and advertised for material and about a
month after on October 11th 1881 made a contract for
a large part of the brick The contractors soon went to
work but as was anticipated the season was so far ad
vanced and so very unpropitious for making brick that
but little was done until the opening of the Spring of
this year meanwhile contracts had been made for all

Eeiort of Trustees
the other materials and erecting the principal building
containing about 500 rooms for the use of the colored
patients
Considering the difficulty of procuring mechanics and
laborers owing to the unusual amount of work going on
in all parts of the State and the continued difficulty of
making brick and hauling them aud other material on
account of the quantity of rain during the Spring and
Summer the work has not gone forward as fast as was
anticipated still this large building is well advanced
and it is expected that a number of the rooms will be
occupied by March and the whole building of 500 rooms
completed and occupied during the next Spring This
building is plain in its plan and construction without
ornamentation still a sightly structure well suited for
the purpose for which it is intended and the work sub
stantially done When this building is completed and
ready for the reception of patients the buildings now
occupied by colored patients will make room for two
hundred and twenty white patients thus affording pro
vision for the stress now upon the Asylum as it is not
able to receive over two hundred applicants now press
ing for admission to its wards
It will be seen by reference to the Eeport of the Su
perintendent and that of the Architect appended there
to that a further appropriation of 7425482 will be re
quired to complete in all respects the new buildings au
thorized by the Act of September 1881 including heat
ing gas and water through the interior in addition
to this the sum of 1500000 will be required to furn
ish all these buildings which is less than 1900 for each
of the 850 rooms in all making together 8925482
The Trustees fully unite in their opinions and the
reasons given in the Eeport of the Superintendent and
Architect for asking this increased appropriation In
deed they think the estimate particularly for the furni
ture is too small but as it is made by one of great ex
perience and fully reliable they yield to his better judg
ment and adopthis recommendations The increased
appropriation asked for is a necessity to enable the
Trustees to complete the buildings and render them fit
for occupation

Of the deaths there occurred twentyone 21 from
general chronic exhaustion seventeen 17 from epilepsy
eight 8 from old age eight 8 from paralysis four 4j
from diarrhoea five 5 from consumption two 2 from
dysentery two 2 from apoplexy one 1 from general
debility six G from marasmus one 1 from heart dis
ease one 1 from effusion of heart and lungs one 1
acute congestion of the lungs one 1 pneumonia one
1 congestion of the bowels one 1 carbuncles
From the above it will be seen that of the deaths which
occurred only a few were curable cases
It will be observed that we have received during the
year one hundred and fortyfour 144 chronic and one
hundred and thirteen 113 acute cases or those not in
sane longer than twelve months before admission ac
cording to the history of cases furnished at the time of
reception Our discharges will show a good per cent of
recoveries in the acute and curable cases
It will also be observed that we have received during
the year fiftynine 59 in very feeble anaemic condition
from chronic and acute disease some so feeble they could
not walk without assistance and some almost exhausted
by the trip to the Institution helpless and hopeless cases
of paralysis and senile imbecility with all the indications
of mental and physical decay nothing to justify a hope
that they could live but a short while Often the friends
do not appear to appreciate their true condition they
are brought to the Asylum as the last resort what a
fearful responsibility their friends still entertaining
hopes of mental and physical recovery some of them
living only a few days or weeks after reception
It will be seen from the receptions this year that we have
but a few cases that we can hope for complete recovery
the ensuing year During the past year we have treated
a larger numbei than any previous year and at the close
of this year we have remaining in the Institution an ex
cess over last year of seventythree 73 patients we
have been constantly taxed to know how we could pro
vide room for them in our crowded condition being un
der the necessity of putting two or more in a room when
we were not fully satisfied that they would not commit
acts of violence towards each other we therefore feel
truly grateful to a merciful Providence for exemption
from any serious accidentirMri

State Lunatic Asylum
The general health of the institution has not been as
good as last year We have had some malarial fever
with our patients and attendants mostly confined to
attendants No case however resulted fatally being so
fearfully crowded in every department I was apprehen
sive that it might continue to an alarming extent Great
credit is due my assistant physicians for the efficient and
faithful manner in which they cared for each and every
case
Four or five months of this year our doors were closed
against visitors on account of the prevalence of small
pox throughout the country Just as soon as we were
fully satisfied there was no danger our doors were again
opened as formerly to visitors
By reference to tabular statements 1 2 3 and 4 will

EMPLOYMENT
The employment of patients indoors and out con
tinues in a very satisfactory manner considering the
means at our command When we speak of employment
we mean all those means that give occupation to the
patientlabor exercise amusement riding cany
thing that interests or gets the attention of the patient
Our main object is to get that diversion which is so ne
cessary to their contentment and recovery In an insti
tution where all classes of the insane are received it re
quires discreet judgment in classifying the patients
and giving them such employment as is best suited to
their taste habits mental and physical condition and
there should be careful observation as to its effect as a
remedial agent Too muchcaution cannot be exercised as
to work with very acute cases they generally need pro
found rest The first indication of mental improvement
should be promptly observed and all possible meansjtttiimiMggnflirrtHiiiiHr

used for strengthening aad developing the mental powers
My observation of the insane for the past twenty years
has led me to the firm conviction to make the treatment
remedial the constitutional and acquired differences of
the habits taste c of the patients should be properly
considered and their surroundings and employment
should be made with a due regard to it the same routine
treatment cannot be relied upon for all classes If these
differences in the habits taste and peculiarities of the
patients are lost sight of we are apt to drift into a rou
tine treatment from which we cannot accomplish the
good desired It is gratifying to know when our de
tached buildings which are now in progress of comple
tion are ready for the reception of patients our moral
and sanitary treatment will be greatly advanced by diver
sifying the surroundings and changing the influences
which are so useful with a certain class of patients I
do not think that proper and judicious employment can
be overestimated I have frequently observed decid
ed indications of mental and physical improvement
from a few weeks of regular employment espe
cially when there is a manifest interest in the work Our
patients are not forced to work but they are encouraged
to do so The Attendants whose duty it is to take them
out join in the work with interest and cheerfulness and
the patients are encouraged to follow the example of the
Attendants Their labor is now utilized to some extent
in almost every department of the Institution and some
of them have become so interested in the employment
given them they engage in it regularly from day to day
Many of them appreciate the fact that it improves their
health and promotes contentment There cannot be any
doubt whatever under proper management as to its
ameliorating and curative influences We could refer to
many cases in which their improvement and recovery
was principally due to those means I regard employEEEEEELM

nient as one of tlie most essential features in the treat
ment of the insane This institution of course will con
tinue to he the permanent home of a large number of
patientstheir condition makes it necessary that they
Should have some kind of custodial care The health
happiness and contentment of this class of patients de
pends greatly upon some suitable employment If they
were left to mope and grope about the wards they would
soon get into bad habits and become indifferent to their
surroundings and gradually drift into dementia become
careless and perhaps filthy Our farm and garden
yards c afford healthful occupation to many of the
male patients and the laundry sewing rooms and other
employments about the wards for female patients We
have extended as much liberty to our patients as was
compatible with their condition
amusements
Dr Whitaker with the assistance of Dr Hall has with
commendable Zealand interest continued the amusements
through the year as formerly doing all they could o in
terest the patients and promote contentment and happi
ness by breaking the monotony of Asylum life and
building up the weakened mental powers by varied di
versions One evening in every week is generally given
to diversion of some kind We had our May day cele
bration as usual out in the grove near the Institution
a large number our patients participating in the amuse
ments of the day Our flower garden has afforded an
abundant supply of flowers for the patients and for dec
orating the wards All of those whose condition will
justify it have the privilege of the flower garden every
evening when the weather is suitable and they usually
spend from one to two hours in walking through the gar
den gathering flowers and sometimes engaging in games
of amusement in the open air

FIRE PROTECTION
While your Honorable Board are familiar with our
arrangements for guarding against and extinguishing
fires the public generally are not Hence it might be
proper for me under the head of improvements to give
an account of our arrangement for protecting the Insti
tution against fire
Capt Wilcox the Engineer has organized a Fire
Brigade composed of Attendants They have a code of
rules for the guidance of the brigade All the male At
tendants are subject to fire duty alternating each serv
ing twentyfour hours
Once each week the detachment on duty drills with
one section of hose All the fire plugs are visited the
hose connected and water thrown by gravity which in
sures the proper working of each fire plug
At each fire plug the men change their post in the
detachment by this means every man is made familiar
with connecting the hose and turning on the water
200 feet of 2 inch leather hose is kept on a fixed
hose reel in a small brick building located at a central
point easy of access
On shelves in this same building in rolls of 40 feet
each are five hundred feet more hose of same character
50 feet ef hose is kept hanging in the tower and used
for drill purposes
In addition to the above there are a number of rub
ber fire buckets that are located at accessible points
and water can be drawn from any fire plug
OUTSIDE FIRE PROTECTION
Consists of a 40000 gallon water tank on the top of
a 64 feet brick tower Duplex Worthington steampump
that takes suction from three reservoirs of 207000 gal
lons combined capacity when all are full discharging
18
State Lunatic Asylum
through 3000 feet of 3 and 4 inch cast iron pipe to
which are connected 21 2 inch Chapman lire pings
This line of piping and its connection are so arranged
that water can be thrown by gravity to a height of 40 to
60 feet owing to location either on or below the level of
tower base
The gravity pressure would be used in the event of no
steam So soon as steam reaches a pressure of 20 lbs
the gravity pressure is cut off and direct pressure from
the steam pump substituted admitting two to four
streams to be concentrated on any one point All ar
rangements for controlling and changing direption of wa
ter are operated from the outside
INTERNAL FIRE PROTECTION
Consists of 1 inch pipes connected to main supply
pipe to wards on which are valves for connecting linen
hose Each ward has 40 feet of hose in its clothes room
In addition there are rubber tire buckets outside the
front entrance of front building At night the water is
cut off and the watchman is instructed how to turn on
water if it is wanted To insure a vigilant lookout the
outside watchman is supplied with a recording time piece
Keys are attached by chains at important points and on
visiting them the key is inserted into the time piece and
turned this operation pierces or indents a hole in a paper
dial inside the case which indicates the number of post
and the time it was visited In the morning this paper
dial is removed read and reported dated and filed away
A new paper dial is put on for next night No record
has shown neglect A faithfulnights work shows visits to
all the posts during each hour of the night This clock
gives an exact account as to how the night watch per
forms his duties during the night This arrangement se
cures constant vigilance on the part of the night watch

It will be remembered that the Asylum committee ap
pointed by the legislature called upon the Board of Trus
tees for plans and estimates for the proposed increased
accommodations for the insane of the State Your Board
promptly secured the services of Major Fuss to make the
necessary plans and estimates for the new buildings He
having only about a week to prepare them in hence he
had to make them very hurriedly not having time to get
the necessary data to make exact estimates I think it
more than probable however but for the unexpected
advance in everything pertaining to the erection of the
new buildings that they might have been completed
for the estimates made at that time as it is thought all
building material labor etc have increased from fifteen
to twenty per cent since the estimates were made By
reference to the report of the Superintendent and Ar
chitect it will be seen that after a careful consideration
of the plans by your Board and others it was found nec
essary for the comfort efficient easy and economical ad
ministration of these different departments to make some
changes in first plans which increased the cost some as
shown by the report of the Superintendent and Architect
It will also be seen by his report what appropriations
are necessary to complete the building You are aware
that there was no mature or decided plan as to heating
Though we had thought of a plan or system of heating but
upon careful investigation and observation it was not
thought to be safe or satisfactory in other particulars
Hence the idea of that plan was abandoned while it was
cheaper in the first outlay it would prove ultimately much
more expensive as it would require annual repairs to
keep it in order
From a thorough investigation and the experienoe of
those familiar with the system of heating we have adopt
ed it is the safest most economical and satisfactory plan
ir
20
State Lunatic Asylum
of heating The report of the Superintendent and Archi
tect will give you the estimated amounts required for the
completion of the new buildings also for heating
water closets sinks cones pipes c You are aware
there was no appropriation made for lighting the buildings
nor for water closet fixtures bath tubs pipes c
The work on new building for colored patients is be
ing prosecuted as rapidly as is thought to be safe to
secure a good and substantial job The brick contrac
tors have had a great deal of trouble and many difficulties
to contend with during the year by excessive rains and un
usual high waters
In view of economy and making the convalescent
buildings in keeping or corresponding more fully with
the architectural appearance of the other buildings I
deem it proper and advisable to call your attention to
the propriety of making the convalescent buildings three
stories instead of two even if the third story is not com
pleted now It would not cost any more to cover them
and there will be but little increase in the cost of the
heating apparatus It is simply a question of very little
time as to the room being needed Hence the economy
of making the change
By reference to the report of the Steward will be seen
the estimated amounts necessary or required for the main
tenance of the Institution for the years 1883 and 1884
Also the amounts necessary for furnishing the new
buildings as there was no appropriation made for that
purpose
For the year 18S3 our average number of patients will
perhaps not exceed twelve hundred for 1884 about four
teen hundred You will readily perceive that the esti
mated amounts of the Steward for the support of the
Institution for 1883 and 1884 is as little as we possibly
can get along with under favorable circumstances

ARCHITECTS REPORT
Georgia State Lunatic Asylum October 1st 1882
DE T O POWELL
Superintendent Georgia State Lunatic Asylum
Sir You are aware that the estimates for the new
buildings to be erected at the Asylum made in June
1881 were very hurriedly preparedonly five or six days
being allowed for devising plans and estimating their
probable cost This haste you will remember was
caused by the great anxiety felt by yourself and the
Board of Trustees to comply with a request of the Leg
islative Committee who had fixed a day on which the
subject would be taken up and considered It was there
fore impossible in so short time to procure the necessary
data for a more careful and precise estimate still it may
be a question of doubt as to whether the estimates would
not have been ample but for the unexpected and unfore
seen advance in the cost of labor and materials It is
probably fair to say that building materials have been
enhanced from ten to fifteen per cent and labor from
twentyfive to forty per cent since the estimates referred
to were madesay that the average increase in value has
been fifteen per centthat amount added to the original
appropriations would I think be quite sufficient to com
plete the buildings as at first designed Again when the
appropriations were asked for no plan for warming the
buildings in cold weather had been matured It was
known that the method of warming the old buildings
would probably be superceded by some improved
system this knowledge suggested the propriety and duty
of finding the best system available for the purpose and
started enquiry and investigation resulting in the selection
of the plan now generally used in asylums and other pub
lic buildings at the North by steam at low pressure 5
to 10 jiounds which on account of its efficiency safety
durability and economy in running is believed to be the
best method known to meet the necessities of Asylum
buildings The first cost of the apparatus is pretty high
the outlay however is probably more than compensated
by safety from fire and economy in operating after it is
once established and we feel confident that it will prove

itwxrtftttniMrttit
26
State Lunatic Asylum
the best means for warming the buildings that could be
adopted As no adequate appropriation for heating
apparatus for any of the buildings has heretofore been
asked for there will be submitted in this report estimates
of additional appropriations required for that and other
objects
I have to state that the progress of our buildings has
fallen short of the hopes and expectations entertained
when we started out You will remember chat before
contracts for the work could be consummated last fall the
season for brickmaking had passed and you also know
that this summer has been one most unfavorable for
work of that kind on that account the contractors
have been subjected to very serious hindrance delay and
loss And again on account of the great amount of
building being done throughout the State it was im
possible to procure an adequate force of labor for pros
ecuting the work with such vigor and energy as was so
much desired and strenuously urged As an evidence of
the scarcity of labor at this time the contractors have
been compelled to draw all hands from the brick yard
and hospital building to enable them to keep the masons
going on the building for negro patients Every
effort is now being made to get the building for
negro patients closed in before cold weather is upon us
and the main object for which every exertion will be
made will be to have a sufficient portion of the building
completed as soon as possible of sufficient capacity to
accommodate thecolored patients now in the asylum and
when that is accomplished the pressure now bearing so
hard will in a measure be lifted
Work has been commenced on the hospital building
but for the reasons before stated it has been temporarily
suspended Most of the brick for this building are now
on the ground and it is hoped that in a few days the
work there may be resumed
As regards the convalescent halls no work has been
done there except the delivery of 300000 brick
It is proper to state before giving the estimates of
amounts required to complete the buildingsand for other
purposes that on account of the nature of the ground
npon which the negro patients building is located it was
deemed advisable to add 28 more rooms than was at first

Architects Report
27
contemplated in the original plan A portion of tlie
building had to be extended over low grounds where the
space between the ground and level of main floor af
forded the opportunity of adding in a basement the 28
rooms named above
In maturing plans for the convalescent halls it has
been deemed essential to add center buildings which
were not contemplated in the original design this with
other changes most desirable will necessarily increase
considerably the cost of these structures but as these
changes and additions increase very much the conven
ience and comfort of the buildings and as all necessary
details for such edifices could not be matured in the
haste of making the first plans and estimates and as
time and reflection have suggested valuable improvements
which it is believed to be wise to adopt and as you have
expressed a wish to have these buildings made three
stories instead of two stories an estimate will be given
of the probable cost in either case
It is proper to state that estimates were not embraced
in the estimates for the building for gas or water supply
It is assumed that fifteen per cent for the increased price
of building materials andlabor may be a fair estimate of
the increased value of these items in the cost of our
buildings
The following statement of estimated amounts that
will be required to complete the buildings and furnish
the heating apparatus is respectfully submitted viz
FOR NEW BUILDING FOR COLORED PATIENTS
Fifteen per cent on original appropriation 10524 00
For 28 rooms added at 250 7000 00
For sewerage and division wall 3327 00
For heating apparatus extra 9565 00
30416 00
FOR CONVALESCENT WARDS
Fifteen per cent on original appropriations 10179 00
Extra for heating apparatus 6706 00
For two story buildings

From the above statements it will be seen that addi
tional appropriations to the amount of 5073900 will be
required if the Convalescent Halls are made two stories
only but if they are built three stories then the amount
would reach 62939
