Y., March 4, 1903. Hon. George Hall, (Mayor Ogdenisburg, N. Y.:, Dear Sir:— We, the unuersigned members of the oommititee appointed by you to consid- er the needs of the city of Ogdenshurg and other territory (adjoining the Os- wegatchie river, 'between the city of Ogdenisburg and the village of Gouver- neur, do respectfully acknowledge the receipt of the letiter from Harry Bates, Esq., secretary of ithe Water Storage commission, enclosing copy of proposed bill entitled "An act continuing the Uhe Water Storage commission and; in- creasing its powers, etc." We have exaanined this proposed act and have been surprised that it was necessary ito anake the bill so volumin- ous. It seems to us too cumbersome and indefinite 'to work satisfactorily, and furthermore -the ibiW does not seem to iis to he inline with, the original pur- pose for wMcn tlhe Water Storage Com- mission -was appointed. On page 8, commencing with line 4, it reads—'"They sluall then proceed to determine -what proportion, If any, of such sum Shall he "paid by t h e people of the 'State- of New York, talcing into ac- count the public importance, location and 'benefit of the said river improve- ment for t3ie public health or safety or the promotion of navigation." It seems- to us that a large portion, if n o t .aflil of the eosft of such improve-, (ments should -be paid by the State and that the improvemems should be made only where it satisfactorily appeared,, that Ifchey were necessary for the pro- tection of life and property. But if any portion of the cost is ito be paid by as- sessment on local 'property it should be small and provision should be made in tflie bill 'that it should not in any case .exceed a certain percentage of the value of the property deemed to be benefitted. Im 'the case of all great public im- provements some localities and individ- uate are. necessarily benefitted mora •than others, y e t i t lis rare that any por- tion of tihe cost is borne iby the favored locality or indflvidiua-l. On the whole we do not approve of the propoised legislaiMon, hut trust that the hill can he so amended as to effect i •the real purpose for which the Water Storage -Ooixumisslon was originally <or- .gaaaizedi We return toVyou herewith the pro- posed act and the letiter of Mr„ Bates.

A butter factory is operated in connection with the farm, the principal supply of milk being purchased from farmers in the vicintity, supplemented at times by the surplus of milk, the product of the large dairy kept on the hosptttal farm, not re- quired to supply the needs of the hos- pital. Butter from thSs factory is fur- nished to this institution and other State hospitals for the insane. A thorough inspectlion was made of the women's ward in the administra- tion group, and- everything was found 5n perfect order; the day rooms bright, clean and well ventilated; the dormi- tories (unoccupied during the day) with windows thrown open, sun and air streaming in, and the beds, mattressss, blankets,sheets' and THIIOWS systematic- ally arranged, so as to obtain a g#od airing. Evidence that this ward is fill- ed to its fulleslt capacity, and even overcrowded # in certain rooms and dor- mitories, was .very apparent. Since our last vislitation a very com- plete hydTOtherapeutic bath, with all the most modern appliances, has,been installed in the administration group, located between the men's and the wo- men's wards, and convenient of access from both; it is believed that most beneficial results wiyi follow the use of these baths. The power house was Visited, where were seen the elaborate system of en- gines, dynamos and boilers furnishiing power, heat and light to this great in- stitution, and steam for the kitchen and laundry. Patent stokers have late- ly been installed in the bofiler room, re- sulting in great saving in fuel and. in labor of firing. The fire department was found in ex- cellent order, hook and ladder and hose wagon of approved type, and "a noble- looking horse standing in his stall in readiness for an emergency call. A regular fire drill is ordered at intervals, and every precaution taken to avoid serious accident or loss of life in the event of fire. The water supply for this institution was formerly taken from the St. Law- rence river, but'on account of the con- tamination of this source of supply by sewage from the' citv of Ogdensburg, it was decided in 1900 to use the water of the Oswegatchie river, an Adirondack streams emptying into the St. Lawrence at Ogdensburg, and from which the said city obtains its supply. An ar- arrangement was accordingly made with the city authorities, and the hos- pital haig been using the Oswegatchie river water for the past twenty months, with most -satisfactory results. A •marked 1 diminution) in the number of cases of typhoid' among the attendants and patients, is perhaps the most im- portant benefit resulting from the change. . The general condition of the St. Law- rence State hospital, the internal man- agement, the care and treatment of the patients, the administration of the. vast exiteitnal domain, and the various prop r erties conhected^therewdth, show plain- ly the wisdom of the perfect system *ln" operation, there, 'and reflect the highest prai?e<<Hif.the',-<s»P«rhitend'enit, and- Mi* efficients .staff of 'assistants; -It is a model of neatness -andi order.

Sciatic Trouble From Sprain

Dizzy, Dull , Nervous, ' Constipated.

Dr. Miles*-Nerviixe Com* pletely Cured Me.

A, frequent complication of rheumatism and Sciatica is constipation/ T h e n i e o t D r . Miles' Kerve and Liyer Pills in conjunction with Restorative Nervine, makes an ideal treatment for such cases. The Nerve and Liver Pills, by their tome influence upon the nerves of the stomach, liver and bowels, cause them to actnaturally. Thus the system is readily cleansed of the impurities-which cause the trouble and the nourishing and soothing; effect of Nervine, is allowed to do its wonderful work of restoration without hindrance from the complication. *

"About ten months afco I sprained my back. This ran into sciatic trouble from which I have suffered more or less eversince. This wasrcomphcated by chrome indigestion, ihad sick headache every day with a disry, dull feeling1, also quite a little confusion. Was extremely nervous and suffered much from constipation. X was influenced to try Dr . Miles' Remedies and decided toeiye them a trial. I procured a bottle of the TJe-storative Nervine and a box of the Nerye , and Liver Pdls. J used them as per direc­tion* ancjreceivedmuchjehef. I continued the Nervine until I had used several bottles of the "Same and I am glad to state that it has cured me «ompletelv and permanently.

Ogdensburg, N . Y., March 4, 1903. Hon. George Hall , (Mayor Ogdenisburg,

N. Y.:, D e a r Sir:—

We, the unuers igned members of t h e oommititee appointed by you to consid­er the needs of the c i ty of Ogdenshurg a n d o the r t e r r i t o r y (adjoining the Os-wegatch ie river, 'between the ci ty of Ogdenisburg a n d the village of Gouver-neur , d o respectfully acknowledge t h e receipt of t h e letiter from Harry Ba tes , Esq. , sec re ta ry of ithe Water S torage commission, enclosing copy of proposed bill ent i t led "An a c t continuing the Uhe W a t e r S to r age commission and; in­c reas ing i t s powers , e tc . "

W e h a v e exaanined this proposed act and h a v e been surpr i sed that it w a s necessary ito anake t h e bill so volumin­ous . I t seems t o us too cumbersome a n d indefinite 'to work satisfactorily, a n d fu r the rmore -the ibiW does not seem t o iis t o h e i n l i n e with, the original p u r ­pose for wMcn tlhe W a t e r Storage Com­mission -was appointed.

On page 8, commencing with line 4, i t reads—'"They sluall then proceed to de te rmine -what proportion, If any , of such s u m Shall he "paid by t h e people of t h e 'State- of New York, talcing in to a c ­count t h e public importance, location a n d 'benefit of t h e said river improve­m e n t for t3ie publ ic health or safe ty or t h e promotion of navigation."

I t seems- t o us that a large portion, if not .aflil of t h e eosft of such improve-, (ments should -be paid by t h e S t a t e and t h a t t he improvemems should be m a d e only where i t satisfactorily appeared,, t h a t Ifchey were necessary for t h e p ro ­tect ion of life and property. B u t if a n y port ion of t h e cost is ito be paid b y a s ­sessment on local 'property it should be smal l a n d provision should be m a d e in tflie bill ' that i t should not in a n y case .exceed a cer ta in percentage of t h e va lue of t h e proper ty deemed to be benefitted.

Im 'the ca se of all grea t publ ic im­provements some localities and individ­ua te a r e . necessar i ly benefitted m o r a •than o thers , y e t it lis rare t h a t a n y por­tion of tihe cost is borne iby the favored local i ty o r indflvidiua-l.

The vis i tors represen t ing y o u r ; a s s o ­ciation called, a t - the St. Lawreneei S t a t e hospi ta l on Sept. 11,1902, wi thout notice of the i r intent ion to m a k e a visit i t th i s t ime. The d a y being b r i g h t and d e a r , much of our ibime w a s devoted fo k n in-spectioini of the grounds , the fa rm and garden connected wi th th i s ins t i tu t ion and the fa rm and g a r d e n cot tages , i n which a re quar te red pa t i en t s whlo aire physical ly best able t o ass is t in work on t h e farm, a n d in the extensive vege­table garden. The rniilk, pork a n d vege­t ab l e s produced forin a considerable p a r t of the food supply of the hospital .

The land owned by t h e S ta te and con­nected w i th th i s instStufcion. comprises approximate ly 1,000 acres^ The grounds sur rounding the buildings are beaut i ­fully laid out wiith lawns, drives and walks , and a r e ornamented wi th m a n y fine shade trees, shrubs , flower beds, etc., present ing a most a t t rac t ive a p ­pearance, t h a t cannot fall to have a beneficial Influence upon the mental and physical condition of the pat ients , m a n y of whom are employed in keeping in order the grounds and Sn mak ing im­provements thereon. The malin portion of the 1,000 acres is operated as a farm, which is s teadi ly being brought into a high s t a t e of cult ivation. A but te r factory is operated in connection with the farm, t h e principal supply of milk being purchased from farmers in the vicintity, supplemented a t t imes by the surp lus of milk, t he product of the large da i ry kept on the hosptttal farm, not re­quired t o supp ly the needs of the hos­pital . Bu t t e r from thSs factory is fur­nished to th i s inst i tut ion and other S t a t e hospi ta ls for t h e insane.

A thorough inspectlion was made of t h e women 's ward in t h e admin i s t ra ­tion group, and- every th ing w a s found 5n perfect order; the d a y rooms bright, clean and well vent i la ted; t he dormi­tor ies (unoccupied dur ing the day) with windows t h r o w n open, sun and air s t r e a m i n g in, a n d the beds, mat t ressss , blankets , sheets ' and THIIOWS sys temat ic ­ally a r ranged , so a s to ob ta in a g#od air ing.

P a t e n t s tokers have l a te ­ly been installed in the bofiler room, r e ­sul t ing in g rea t sav ing in fuel and. in labor of firing.

The fire depa r tmen t was found in ex­cellent order, hook and ladder and hose wagon of approved type, and "a noble-looking horse s t and ing in his stal l in readiness for a n emergency call. A regu la r fire drill i s ordered a t in tervals , and every precaut ion t aken t o avoid ser ious accident o r loss of life in the event of fire.

The w a t e r supply for t h i s ins t i tu t ion w a s formerly t aken from the St. L a w ­rence river, b u t ' o n account of the con­tamina t ion of th i s source of supply by sewage from the ' citv of Ogdensburg, i t was decided in 1900 to use t h e w a t e r of the Oswegatchie river, an Adirondack streams empty ing in to t h e St. Lawrence a t Ogdensburg, and from which the sa id ci ty ob ta ins i ts supply. An a r -a r r a n g e m e n t w a s accordingly made wi th t h e ci ty author i t ies , and t h e hos­pi tal haig been us ing t h e Oswegatchie r iver w a t e r for t h e p a s t t w e n t y months , wi th m o s t -sat isfactory resul t s .
