THE ASYLUM ENQUIRY Cold Wards-Meat Lean and Poor. Robt. McPherson sworn. To Dr. Conroy—My duties are to look after the heating, the water closets and drainage. The heating ig the best possible under the circumstances. ‘I'he house is kept as warm asin former years. At 5.30a.m. the heating is commenced. It is never too warm. He had seen the thermometers at 60 to 70 degrees. It is not his business to Jook. He could tel) by the steam uage which was keptat 5to 20 lbs. The i appar: tus is not in first class order. The draught is bad. He would not say the waréswere Joold. He kepc steam up to te: and eleven at night. The s'e:m was ordered to be keptuyp till ten o'clock; then be ban! ed the fires. He did pot know how the temperature was atnight. No mitt-r how cold, the fire was banked. The pipes have frozen at nigat, on the north side. To Mr. Rogers—None of the att end ants complained of cold any more than a casual observance that the day was frosty. To Mr. McEachern—The Doctor had told him the heaters would not work and he had tried to make them work. He moved the heaters in ward one. To Mr. Rogers—There was always a defect. He had studied engineering. To Dr. Conroy—It is impossible to make taem draw, To Mr. McEachern—We put a heater in ward two. To Dr. Conroy.—There was a guar- antee engineer with apparatus. The water closets are in good condition. They are all the same. There is plenty of hot and cold’ water in the bath. The patients wash in the tubs. The basins have been taken away. The drainage works well. The tank holds 2,000 gallons. Wit- ness then drew a plan for the Com- mission. It is not ventilated. When cleaned it was notvery Cirty. There is a tap but no ventilating pipe. The tank is flushed once a week. Mrs. Beaton swora: To Mr. Rogers.—My matron. position is She had been taere since Apri]. Sbe never was in an Asylum before. She atienced to the cooking, the clothes-mending and the linens, etc. She saw the food cooked, slso the food the patients received upstairs. The beef is not first-class, but good and fresh. The bread is baked by the baker, but is however, good. The food is cooked with propcr care. The re- port in the papers about it is not true. ihe vegetables are thoroughly evoked. Some ofthe patients have complained sometimes, but it would be by an ex- treme case. She thought it was be- Cause the patient was cranky. She had not heard complaints about her prede- cessor. She lookc«d over the beds after they are changed. She never knew that patients are left in their filth. The attendants are faithful. To Dr. Conroy. It was warm when shecame. The Doctor goes tarough the wards and if there is anything par- ticular wrong when he is absent he is the patients... She asked tie Doctor what to give for nourishment. She inspected the beds, but the beds were made before she went up.Sbe could teil only by report. She did not go around at night. The watcher’s report is left for the Doctor and he told her what to do. She was here beiore Mary Jane Melnnis left. There were not any flies on the meat. The porridge was good. The milk was pure and could not be nicer. To Mr.McEachern— Miss McInnis has been here since she left the institution. AFTERNOON SESSION, In the afternoon the first witness sworn was Mr. Mathew Allen. He said he was acarpenter. He was ap- + Ointed inspector of repairs on Dec. 8th 1¢91 and finished April 1892. He in-— Spected the work of placing new closets. There were only six. Tue old ones were removed and an addition of three made. The plaster was repaired, also the floors. In ward 2 (men’s) the isjc ts under the closet were rotten. He replaced the joists, removed tie brick. wuich was decayed and p!aced new drick, so that the stench might be done boly with.The traps were all gone. The wa system was bad ard they put io automsti> closets. In ward 4 (womeu’s) tiey took up the flocr and found one iich of slime between the floor and the plaster. Many of the joists there were roiten. They took a number of bricks cut apd made the place sweet. The closets on the third floor were nearly as bad. He puts in new joists and new Concret2 floors. The closet ia the Upper story in the hospital was nearly as bad. They removed it and put ina new one. He put onein the basement and one in Doctor's room. In the din- ing rooms as used the rooms were in a bad state. Traps were leaky and the Sheathing was bad. He re-sheathed the sinks, and put in a new floor and new traps. There was a pile of rat dirt be- tweenthe floor.They concreted the floor of the bath rooms.and placedo utlets for the water to run off. Ia the main halls the flooring was replaced. The wash tubs Were rottea from aye and he re- placed them. Mee is no chance for leakage now. To overcome the water running through a double floor should . ] would mect the difticy] y, He wondered that water would go through. Haid wood would last fora long t me. To Dr.Conroy—A hard wood floor is absolutely tight, ‘lo Mr. Rogers. ~The weights of the windows were fixed. In all they fixed 40 windows. There was complaict about the airy He puta new conerete floor in the basement instead of ashes. To Dr. Conroy.—Concrete floors are used in the bath rooms. The pipes from them lead tothe sewer. To Mr. Rogers.—The ordinary goose neck trap is used. fo Dr. Conroy. ~—He would not use a goose neck trap for a soil pipe. He could not give plans of the sewerage system. [he pipes wera there before the concrete floors were placed. The water was drained fromthe wooden floors. To Mr. Rogers.—There was no stop inthe drains. He did not think there was any new pipe placed. To Dr. Conroy.-- He got a bad sme)l from the pipes when they were opened for repairs. He did not think that there is aby smell now. Before the repairs there was a bad smell in the dining room. Mec. Ailen was then ssent out to go through the building andre port. Jermiah Larkins sworn: To Dr. Conro.y---He bad*been} an at- tendant for six years. He looked after ‘he patients from five in the morning until eight at night, except one day. Every attendant takes a night about: There are seven attendants. He had to look after 29 patients in the male ward. One man watches all the male patients at night---about 95. There ara nine in each of the big rooms, in some rooms 10, and sonfe 12. ‘here is a space between the beds. They are locked in. The door is Opened every hour. Auy who wet the bed are roused up, some times three and four times set the vessels on the floor. The sheets are shifted as soon as itis found. A rubber sheet is used. None of the day clothes are left in the room. To Mr. Rogers—Some of the patierts look after themselves. To Dr. Conroy—Some of the rooms ere cold, butnot inthe day tim? He had nct seen water frezan but it might reez*. Never noticed snow in the during the night. They sometimes up- fod had been bere five years. The flour | is generally good. Some flour was refused after the Grand Jury visited the institution. The meat is very good and is quite fit for food; soms meat was siroog. The furnace does not work salistactorily. When the wind is high tha houseis cold. Therein not much difference in the heat now,but more fuel is used. There is more complaint now than formerly. The wind comes in around the windows. The water freezes in the pipes in the bathroom. Ho had heard about a pipe bursting in the attic. He beard some of the patients complain and saw them shivering from the ccld. Sometimes Mr. McPhail orders steam. other t'mesit is Dr. Blanchard, and sometimes the matron. The water taps are never turned off. Sometimes he acted as a regular aitenda rt. To Mr. Rogers. The fires are always baaked at ten o'clock. To Dr. Conroy----he did not know of any violence. To Mr. Rogers—--He had noticed some dirt, but he had noticed it in other places as we'l. The food was good and well cooked. A cook some time ago was not satisfactory. Mirgaret Chappell sworn :—She was ia an attendant and was in the house during last winter. She heard com. plaints of cold. She had felt cold but she was working around. At right the house is very cold—have to put on extra clothes. The tips are covered. Canvas is used. The taps are tested and the water is let run to keep from freezing. ‘The patients are bathed once a week. Someare not bathed. She found suow drifted through the window last wioter. The snow drifted across the bed but the bed was moved. ihe patients wet themselyes in the day. They are always changed. She did not know of any that are not changed. The patients are aroused. She did not kuow of any patient suffering from lack of attention. Patients get encugh food. She did not know what was the cause of the water coming through the ceiling. She did not know of any ill tce: t- ment by the aitendants. To Mr. Rogers—She did nct know why Mary Jane Mclonis left here. Sbe heard it was because she had got mele wards. He had noticed snow around the windows. Rain bad leaked through around the flues. It was cold t:lephoned for.She did #1 she could for | for the attendant. He wore an overcoat as it was real cold.

To Mr. Rogers—The cotd is pretty severe some nights. The heatis shut off at 9 asa rule. The temperature soon lowers. There are 1_t; of complaints about the cold in day time. He con- sidered the rooms in ward 4 are colder than in houses in the country. He never noticed how low tie temperature is at night. Water freezes in the steam pipes. He had not seen water freeze on the floor. In the guarded rooms the patients jump oa the floor and wet the floor causing the plaster to fall. He did not think it came from crabbing, To Dr. Conroy—There is a time when there is no heat. To Mr. Rogers—He did not think there was any difference made in the food, between patients. Miss MclInnis was an ordinary attendant. He had never seen fly blows on the mest. There was mice dirt in the porridge. The meat was ojten bad. He heard that Miss McInnis was in Boston.

To Dr. Conroy.—Oil cloth would do very well: To Mr.Rogers.—A hard wood floor He founda smell in one piace and that was from a leak in the hospital closet. Since it was built it has been used asa general closet. Ifitis to be used in general it must be made l rzer. The closet was only intended for the hospi- tal. The whole thing wil have to be cleaned out and the joists removed. There is no smell elsewhere. Miss A Finley sworn.—Is attendant in ward 5. She hes been in the institn- tion forfonr months. Her duties were toseeto the patients. She is night watca one night in the week. She had Some of the attendants take hct water and wet the bed so that another attendant would be blamed. We put patients to bed at 8 o’clock. Mr. McPhail is cxceedingly particular. The beds are well kept} and clean.Oaly one has an complained. She worked ina _ hospital before coming here. The food is nourishing, clean and well cooked, zood bread and tea. Some of the attendants grumble because of the food but they should not. Many of the patients expect extremely nice food but there are not any who suffer from want of food. She did not think there was any ill-treatment. She gives a draught to patients when re- quired. Laurance MelInnis sworn..--He did bad food. She complained about the meals and the food given to the patients. | She (Margar. t Chappelle) had no com- pliint against the food at the present tume. The meat did not look like good meat—looked blick—that was three months ago. A. Bonnell sworn.—Had been em- ployed in the institution about six years. fbe temperature of the wards is not taken now. Itis about the same now as six years ago. They used to repcrt evening and morning when be was in the institution years ago. The place seemed comfortable st night. The rooms are not toocold with plenty of bed clothes. He had adwminist red medicine during the night in the form draughts. The food asa general thing is good. The meat at timesis not the best, very tough at times. Porridge- butter, elc. was of an average quality, To Dr. Conroy.—When the patient does not sleep we give draughets.

Did not know about the snow drifting in or of the patients erying. He wore an overcoat at night when on watch. James Melnnis sworn.—A'tends in in the msle ward and has been in con- nection With the institution for seven years. When the patients are violent we use restraint. The covered beds are used. When the patient is p!aced in the bed there are struggles at times. There is complaint about thecold. A thermo- m< ter isnot used, except in the wards. He had no reason to suppose that the patients werecoid. The rooms are visited every hceur. If the clothes are wet they are changed. The statement about the patients not being c’anged in the male wards is not true. He heard some complaining that they would have eaten more bread if it had been given. His ward gets 12 loaves, The sick pati- ent are ted andif they will nct take the food itis reported to the Doctor. The Doctor feeds them witha tube. The quality of the food is good. Last | Winter the meat was nct good, | being lean and tough. rhe | merit before and after was good Some of ihe potatoes were nct very good. The potatoes were not noticeable ust! pealed. The porridg® for the at- tendants was not good, but he did nct see dirt in the patient’s porridge. The men who supplied the mest are to blame for its bad quality. The patients and at'endants have the same. He did not think thare was an advantage taken of the attendants. There is nvt any vio- lence used. fie never knew of the at- ! tendants going to sleep. To Dr. Conroy—None of the viclent patients in the male wards are locked up in the guard room. Some use wuffs. Some thirty can work; about thirty | more cannot work but ar» quiet. The | violent patients are the most liab’e to. recovery. The patients get plenty of general work.
