The report of the committee appointed to visit the Hospital on the condition of the same was read, and on motion was adopted and ordered spread on the minutes as. follows : To the Board of Supervisors of Nevada county. Your Committe a pointed to report on the conditfon of the Hospital report as follows : The Board officially visited the County Hospital and made a careful and thorough investigation into the affairs of that institution, both as to the management and the accomtodations provided for the needs of the inmates, The improvements ordered by the Board and madg¢ under the supervision of Supervisor Casper, who’ was appointed a committee of one for that purpose, were carefully inspected, and the work was approved and accepted. These improvements consist of an addition made to the main building, together with some minor alterations and repairs, The addition is built in the form of an L the entire length of the west and south sides of the old wing, and enclose it, its parts being respectively 20x41 and 10x20; This makes the main balding of the dimensions of 40x41, elevation required for the symmetry of the structare. The lower part is divided as follows: The front entrance on the west opens into a hall 4x8. On the lett of the entrance is a room. 10x17, used as a storage room for extra bedding and extra clothing. On the right of the entrance is a large room 20x4k designated to be used asa new ward for patients, in order that the cots or: beds may not be ¢rowded together and that air. The ground floor of the old wing to which the addition was made, is te be used as spleeping apartments for the employes.’ The front of the building presents a fine appearance and is finished ina style that. would do credit to some of the public institutions in the larger eities. Yhe raised gilt letters in the words “County Hospital” stand out very prominent and add much in the way of ornament. Beneath and on the west end is‘a fine, cool, dry basement 41 feet long, 10 feet wide and 7 feet high, built of stone from the floor to the joists, Altogether the work reflects credit alike upon the contractors, Campbell & Morrison; and the Committee having it in charge. The Hospital property now, taking buildings; grounds and other appurtenances into account, is hardly second to any in the State outside of the metropolis, and affords ample facilities for the comfort and accommodation of all who may seek relref within its walls, Inside everything betokened the ost efficient management, Everything from. the cellar to the roof was foand to be as scrupulously neat a:.d clean as a first-class boarding house or ahotel. The rooms were neat and clean, the beds clean and wholesome, and the patients were tidy and orderly,and. appafeotly as comfortable as people in their situation could bs. ~Certainly sothing that could be reasonably: expected to be done lias been left undone to amel:orate their unfortunate condition, and add to their personal comforts. In view of certain charges made . against the management, by one of the newspapers of the county, the inmates were interviewed to. ascertain whether or not there were any reasonable grounds fé* the charges. Without a single exception every one spoken to expressed himself well'satisfiad with their treatment, Some were. almost enthusiastic in ‘their praises of the County. Physi, cian and the employes of the institation. An examination of the partries, stere rooms and cellar ache bountiful supplies of edibles, “quantity, quality and variety to i eredit to a well kept hotel. Flocks of poultry roamed through the yards, and in-comfortably provided quarters were found from 30 to 40 “hogs: of various sizes and ages growing up for the knife and the Hospital larder, In short, from’ a careful and . thorough investigation, the Board heartily recommends the management as efficient and entitled to: credit, and as: being all that can be Ey grimcam genase pecte __ Respectfully Yours, “.

The report of the committee appointed to visit the Hospital on the condition of the same was read, and on motion was adopted and ordered spread on the minutes as. follows : To the Board of Supervisors of Nevada county. Your Committe a pointed to report on the conditfon of the Hospital report as follows : The Board officially visited the County Hospital and made a careful and thorough investigation into the affairs of that institution, both as to the management and the accomtodations provided for the needs of the inmates, The improvements ordered by the Board and madg¢ under the supervision of Supervisor Casper, who’ was appointed a committee of one for that purpose, were carefully inspected, and the work was approved and accepted. These improvements consist of an addition made to the main building, together with some minor alterations and repairs, The addition is built in the form of an L the entire length of the west and south sides of the old wing, and enclose it, its parts being respectively 20x41 and 10x20; This makes the main balding of the dimensions of 40x41, elevation required for the symmetry of the structare. The lower part is divided as follows: The front entrance on the west opens into a hall 4x8. On the lett of the entrance is a room. 10x17, used as a storage room for extra bedding and extra clothing. On the right of the entrance is a large room 20x4k designated to be used asa new ward for patients, in order that the cots or: beds may not be ¢rowded together and that air. The ground floor of the old wing to which the addition was made, is te be used as spleeping apartments for the employes.’ The front of the building presents a fine appearance and is finished ina style that. would do credit to some of the public institutions in the larger eities. Yhe raised gilt letters in the words “County Hospital” stand out very prominent and add much in the way of ornament. Beneath and on the west end is‘a fine, cool, dry basement 41 feet long, 10 feet wide and 7 feet high, built of stone from the floor to the joists, Altogether the work reflects credit alike upon the contractors, Campbell & Morrison; and the Committee having it in charge. The Hospital property now, taking buildings; grounds and other appurtenances into account, is hardly second to any in the State outside of the metropolis, and affords ample facilities for the comfort and accommodation of all who may seek relref within its walls, Inside everything betokened the ost efficient management, Everything from. the cellar to the roof was foand to be as scrupulously neat a:.d clean as a first-class boarding house or ahotel. The rooms were neat and clean, the beds clean and wholesome, and the patients were tidy and orderly,and. appafeotly as comfortable as people in their situation could bs. ~Certainly sothing that could be reasonably: expected to be done lias been left undone to amel:orate their unfortunate condition, and add to their personal comforts. In view of certain charges made . against the management, by one of the newspapers of the county, the inmates were interviewed to. ascertain whether or not there were any reasonable grounds fé* the charges. Without a single exception every one spoken to expressed himself well'satisfiad with their treatment, Some were. almost enthusiastic in ‘their praises of the County. Physi, cian and the employes of the institation. An examination of the partries, stere rooms and cellar ache bountiful supplies of edibles, “quantity, quality and variety to i eredit to a well kept hotel. Flocks of poultry roamed through the yards, and in-comfortably provided quarters were found from 30 to 40 “hogs: of various sizes and ages growing up for the knife and the Hospital larder, In short, from’ a careful and . thorough investigation, the Board heartily recommends the management as efficient and entitled to: credit, and as: being all that can be Ey grimcam genase pecte __ Respectfully Yours, “.
