Patients are received upon order of the Supervisors of City Chari-
ties of Baltimore City, and the various County Commissioners, who
pay the hospital $125.00 per capita per annum, the certificates of two
physicians being required in all cases.

The psychopathic reception hospital lias been finished and occupied.

more on parole, and is much crowded. However, when the buildings for'

condition will be relieved; but, as no maintenance was provided for,
