New 'Phone 1476 Remarkable City Located on "'East Hill' Many people have queer notions concerning hospitals for the insane. Comic supplements and cheap novels are partly responsible for their belief that such institutions are places of horror, where raving maniacs who labor under the delusion that they are famous personages are shackled in dismal dungeons, and where the methods of treatment are generally those of an unenlightened past.

A visit to the beautiful "city on the hill" would speedily disillusion these persons. Here are no armed guards, no dungeons, no shackles attached to heavy weights. A stranger would take the place for a university. The 1m- posing structures, splendid grounds and ideal location are only a few of the things that make the Binghamton State Hospital one of the most remarkable institutions in the country. The buildings and their arrangements and the grounds are pleasing from an artistic point of view.

The lawns are large and well kept; there are fountains, concrete walks, gravel roadways and flower beds. In point of architectural design the main building, a cathedral-like structure on the brow of the hill commanding a magnificent view of the city and surrounding country, is probably the most imposing edifice of its kind in the United States, if not in the world. The main building was opened in 1881. The general office and offices of the superintendent, physicians, steward, chemist and matron and stenographers and a wards for male and female patients are located in the original structure. In the annex are the kitchen, dining room for attendants and receiving wards.

Six hundred patients are housed in the main building and annex. The north building accommodates 350 male patients; the east building, 175 female patients; south buildings, 130 female patients, and the west building, 130 female patients. The new buildings are Broadmoor, which, when fully occupied this Fall, will accommodate 700 male patients; Edgewood, the tuberculosis pavilion, 50 male and 50 female patients, and Fairmount, for those suffering from acute insanity, 50 male and 60 female patients. Fairmont will be completed and ready for occupancy about Dec. 1.

Then there are the farm-houses: Orchard House, which houses 30 working male patients; Plymouth Rock cottage, 30 male working patients: Parkhurst cottage, 10 male working patients, and Morningside cottage, 40 female patients of advanceed years. A large part of the produce used at the hospital is raised on its farms. This year the farms will produce about 5.000 bushels of potatoes and about 10,000 bushels will be used. The following figures from the 1907 reof the managers will give the reader an idea of the enormous quantities of foodstuffs consumed annually: Fresh meats, 337,338 pounds; poultry, 4,704 pounds; wheat flour, 2.200 barrels: butter. 65,096 pounds; cheese.
