TO BUILD ON
BOTTOM LAND
Governor West Ai3.n(?'jnces
Plans of State Zii.i Re
garding Branch Asylum.
WORK TO BE STARTED
AT ONCE ON WATER MAIS
Unless Additional Appropriation to
Referred Board Will Start Construc
tion of Buildings This Spring Levee
Engineer Coming to Investigate
Needs The Building Plans. '
State Treasurer Kay announc-
ed late thl3 afternoon that the
board had purchased the Rob-
em and Patton places.
J The branch asylum buildings will
) be located upon the bottom land of
'the Oliver tract and construction work
j will commence as soon as the neoea
J sary plan3 can be drawn and the con
i tracts let. The work of extending the
I city water main will be taken up at
i once and within a few days the state
I board will ask for bids for this con-
tract. An engineer, John Stevens, of
, the Corvallis & Eastern railroad, will
j be here within a few days to make
investigations and recommendations
: regarding such levee work as may be
found necessary.
This is the substance of a statement
made the East Oreeonian this after.
noon by Governor Oswald West. The
statement sets forth the intentions of
the members of the board with re
spects to the branch asylum p.nd they
set at rest all doubt as to the location
of the buildings. Of course the carry
ing out of these plans is contingent
upon the escape of the branch asylum
appropriation from any referendum
entanglements. No appropriation,
lacking the emergency clause, as this
one aoes, is entirely secure until
1 period of 90 days has elapsed follow
; ing the close of the legislative session,
i However, there appears to be no dan
: ger of the referendum for this appro
, priation since it is well known that
I the main asylum is wholly unable to
meet the demands upon it and a
branch Institnf inn lm n , .
! der to provide proper ace-"-j
tlons for the Insane.
I , String of Building'
i As roughly agreed upon oy uover-
nor West and State Treasurer Kay
i the main branch asylum buildings
i will consist of a series of five stnic
; tures arranged in sort of a semi-cir-.
cle. The administration building win
i be erected about the location of the
Carpenter house. There will be two
wings leading away from each end 0
the administration building and each
wing will set ,back from the other.
The heating plant and laundry will be
in the rear of the administration
building and at some distance awsy.
The kitchen and dining room win
'. adjoin the administration building on
' the side towards the river. The ad
ministration building and other struo
i tures upon the higher ground will b
provided with underground base
ments. Of necessity the basements
for the other buildings will have to
t be above ground. All the ward build
ings will be connected with the ad
ministration building by a tunnel sys-
. tern.
To Buy More Land.
As there will be little money need
ed for maintenance at the branch asy
lum during the next two years the
board will have almost $500,000 t
j spend in constructing buildings and
j otherwise fitting up the institution.
Some additional land is to be pur
chased but thus far no deals hav
been made. According to Governor
! West the. land must be offered the
! state at such prices ns would prevail
, were not the state the purchaser or
, else the land will be condemned. The
state will pay no fancy prie., for land.
! An Eisrht Inch Ma n.
It Is th intention of the board to
lay an eight inch water main from
the present limits of the city water
system to the asylum grounds. The
laying of this main will be the first
work done towards constructing (he
branch asylum and evidently it is to
be undertaken as soon as the minrai-i
can bo let. Approximately 4000 feet
of pipe must be laid.

Governor West accompanied by
Treasurer Kay and Superintendent R.
