He has kept the food, clothing, heat . and necessary comforts to the usu -1 standard, be aays. but the present con tract rate of $27. SO a month a patient i not aufflclent without Involving conatderabla loss. As a result of personal conferences with officials of the department, which be r.aa recenuy held in Washington, his plea waa granted to the extent of recommend ' ine an allowance of S3S a month for tha present fiscal year.. -Mors Money Xs Heeded To enable this to -be done congress la asked to' grant an appropriation of 119.000 additional, ao Or. Coe. can be given 'the benefit of the increased rata from June 30. On that data there were .211 patients, an increase of 25 over the previous year, and the esti mate submitted includes a margin for another increaae In the present year. Governor J. V. A. Strong of Alaska, under date of August II, wrote to the ' department In support of a higher contract price at the sanitarium. He says he Inspected It in July and found conditions more satisfactory- than at any time In, the last four years, dur ing- his term aa governor, as the equipment haa been materially in ci eased., tha plant e.ilarced, and tha patlente better cared for.. ; Many Zmprovementa Hade tVr. Coe in hia petition slso ' laya emphasis upon the improvementa made in an effort, he aays, .to cooperate With the department in securing the highest possible comfort for the warda of 'the government. Aa an example of the cost Involved In so dolna- he Cites the hydrotherapy apparatus for a now building, which waa estimated tot coat S600 when the plans were made, but actually Involved an outlay of 12000. In order to maintain 'the In stitution at lts best he put in $5000 aUove ordinary income, he atates, hoping to tide over the era' of high prices, but conditions have grown worse, sad he felt It necessary to ap peal for a revision of the contract, .i Ha tolQ a story of hlgji prices not new in Washington.

W. A. White, superintendent of . St.: Elisabeth's hospital in the District of 'Columbia, who waa asked to give ' an opinion on Dr. Coe's plea, said that while he had no peraonal knowledge of . prices on the Pacific coaat, he as sumed that the situation haa been rep i evented correctly, and an increase in the rate to $35 a month. looked reason able to him. ' , The recommendation of the denart- , ment probably win be In time to hove ine appropriation added to the general deficiency bill.
