Better Facilities Urged for Insane Care in Washington
Dr. Charles M. Emmons told the Washington Medical and Surgical Society that St Elizabeths Asylum costs exceed those of other large U S institutions and that separate facilities are needed for inebriates and feeble minded children. He cited per capita costs and death and recovery rates, urged improved methods and humane care with female attendants in female wards, and warned against the crowding of insane minds in dense asylums.

W W O Sherrard of Sioux Falls urges raising the District of Columbia juvenile court probation officer pay from 920 to 2000 a year, arguing duties are as arduous as the judge's and discrimination is excessive.

Also, Commissioners plan a hearing on House bill 1084 to rename Pierce place Blake Swann and Cedar to Sansom street, with Sansom honoring George Whitfield Sansom of Columbian University amid opposition.
