Since our last report we have completed the new addition to the asylum known as the "south wing and corridor."

This addition was badly needed on account of the crowded condition in what is known as the administration building.

Heretofore we have been obliged to house all the patients in the latter building, besides furnishing quarters for the steward, matron and attendants, in the same building, thereby making it very unpleasant for the latter, and crowding the patients into sleeping quarters entirely too close for their proper treatment.

Arrangements for lighting the new building, as well as the old one, by electricity, have been made with the Las Vegas Light & Fuel Company on very favorable terms, the contract running for three years and giving us a sufficient number of lights to permit us to discard entirely the us of coal oil for lighting purposes, which has been a source of more or less danger, especially so, in an institution of this character.

A description of the new building, heating and ventilating plant, might not be out of place at this time, taken largely from the notes of Messrs. I. H. and W. M. Rapp, who designed the building and supervised its construction:

The addition known as the south wing of the New Mexico Insane asylum, has a southern exposure of 164 feet frontage and 474 feet depth, and contains three stories, basement and attic. The basenent is used for heating and ventilating trunks, also for storage
