THE     STATE     TUBERCULOSIS    COMMISSION.  11 A  REVOLUTIONARY  DOCTRINE. Until  the  last  few  years,  it  was  generally  accepted that  human  tuberculosis  was  simply  a  contagious  disease and  that,  when  an  adult  developed  symptoms  of  tubercu- losis, he  did  so  because  he  had  recently  been  infected by  inhaling  the  germs  of  tuberculosis  fresh  from  the breath  or  sputum  of  somebody  else  who  had  tuberculosis. During  the  last  few  years,  this  theory  has  received  some severe  blows,  and  now  it  is  a  question,  and  a  very  impor- tant question — how^  much  longer  it  can  stand.  The  first blow  w^as  struck  by  Calmette  of  France  and  his  followers, who  claimed  that  they  had  proved  that  pulmonary  tuber- culosis could  not  be  caused  by  the  inhaling  of  the  germs  of the  disease,  but  that  pulmonary  tuberculosis  could  be caused  and  always  was  caused  by  the  taking  of  the germs  of  the  disease  into  the  stomach  and  bowels, whence  they  were  carried  by  the  blood  to  the  lungs.  The second  blow,  or  rather  the  second  series  of  blows,  was struck  by  a  host  of  authorities  in  various  countries,  nota- bly by  Von  Behring  in  Germany,  Fishberrg  in  America, and  H.  Battey  Shaw  of  England.  According  to  these  au- thorities and  their  followers,  practically  all  civilized  hu- man beings  are  infected  with  tuberculosis  during  child- hood, and  practically  all  tuberculosis  in  adult  human  be- ings is  the  result,  not  of  recent  infection,  but  is  the  belat- ed developments  of  the  infection  of  childhood.  This  rev- olutionary theory  is  far  from  being  generally  accepted, but  its  mere  discussion  has  had  the  effect  of  forcing  us  all to  realize  the  importance  of  making  more  serious  efforts to  control  the  tuberculosis  of  children. MERIDEN  SANATORIUM  FOR  CHILDREN  ONLY. In  order  to  keep  Connecticut  in  the  lead  in  this  new movement  for  the  saving  of  children,  we  have  decided  to transform  the  State  Sanatorium  at  Meriden  into  a  sana- torium for  children  only.  In  the  beginning  of  the  sana- torium era,  Connecticut,  like  all  other  communities  re- ceived tuberculous  adults  and  children  without  discrim- ination in  all  her  sanatoria.  As  the  number  of  children increased,  and  it  became  necessary  to  consider  the  estab- lishment of  schools  in  the  sanatoria,  it  was  decided  to send  the  girls  of  school  age  to  Meriden,  and  the  boys  of school  age  and  all  the  infants  to  Hartford.  According  to our  new  plans,  the  plans  adopted  this  year,  all  the  chil- dren suffering  with  pulmonary  tuberculosis  will  be  sent  to

12  STATE    OF    CONNECTICUT. Meriden,  and  all  children  suffering  with  bone  and  gland- ular tuberculosis  will  be  sent  to  The  Seaside  at  Niantic. The  new  arrangement  has  met  with  the  enthusiastic approval  of  all  the  organizations  and  officials  of  the  state with  whom  we  have  had  an  opportunity  to  discuss  the matter.  The  only  dissatisfied  ones,  that  we  know,  are the  physcians  and  nurses  at  the  Hartford  sanatorium. They  were  sorry  to  see  the  children  go, — even  to  Meri- den. The  new  arrangement  has  made  it  necessary  to plan  at  Meriden  a  building  somewhat  different  from  the one  we  had  in  mind  when  we  asked  the  last  General  As- sembly for  our  appropriation.  We  have  taken  this  matter up  with  the  Board  of  Control  and  received  its  assent  to  our change  of  plan. GENERAL  HOSPITALS  SHOULD  HELP. In  our  report  for  the  years  1913  and  1914  we  first  called the  attention  of  the  General  Assembly  to  the  absurd and  dangerous  state  of  panic  into  which  the  appearance of  a  tuberculosis  patient  threw  most  of  the  directors  and phj^sicians  of  general  hospitals.  In  that  report,  and  in subsequent  reports,  we  advocated  as  strongly  as  we  knew how,  that,  for  the  sake  of  the  patient,  for  the  sake  of  the patient's  friends,  for  the  sake  of  the  community,  and  for the  sake  of  the  coming  generation  of  doctors,  the  general hospitals  of  the  state  M'ho  received  a  bonus  from  the State  Treasury,  should  be  compelled  to  provide  a  small ward  or  building  in  which  the  emergency  and  dying  cases of  pulmnary  tuberculosis  could  be  cared  for. Our  views  on  this  matter  were  received  with  approval by  most  of  the  best  tuberculosis  authorities  of  the  country, and  by  certain  of  the  teachers  of  the  great  medical  schools of  the  country,  who  were  becoming  alarmed  at  the  fact that  so  many  thousands  of  young  doctors  who,  in  late years  had  been  empowered  to  practise  medicine, were deplorably  ignorant  of  that  most  important  of  human  dis- ease, tuberculosis  of  the  lungs. But  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  two  yiears  after  the  appear- ance of  our  first  oflHcial  protest  agains  the  phthisiphobiac attitude  of  the  general  hospitals,  the  National  Tubercu- losis Association  passed  a  resolution  calling  on  all  the  gen- eral hospitals  of  the  country  to  provide  suitable  accommo- dations for  emergency  and  late  cases  of  tuberculosis; here- tofore, very  little  progress  has  been  made  toward  a  con- summation of  this  greatly  needed  reform.    The  managers

For  administrative reasons  and  medical  reasons,  it  is  greatly  to  be  desired that  the  "almost  well"  cases  and  "hardly  sick"  cases should  live  in  a  building  separate  from  "the  bed  cases." THE  MERIDEN  SANATORIUM. It  is  difficult  to  speak  of  Meriden  Sanatorium  without speaking  of  the  big  genial  Dr.  Dinnan,  who  was  its  Super- intendent from  its  opening,  and  who,  as  we  have  related above,  died  last  October.  His  successor  is  Dr.  Cole  B.  Gib- son for  two  years  Dr.  Dinnan's  assistant,  a  young  physi- cian whose  executive  capacity  was  not  only  clear  to  us but  was  utilized  and  highly  approved  by  the  arm.y  author- ities during  the  war.  Our  expectations  as  to  the  future of  the  Meriden  Sanatorium,  in  its  new  role  of  a  sanator- ium for  children  only,  are  very  high.  It  would  be  hard  to find  in  the  stale  a  location  for  such  an  institution  more sightly  or  more  convenient  than  the  wooded  face  of  the Meriden  mountain  where  the  white  buildings  of  the Meriden  State  Tuberculosis  Sanatorium  for  Children  now nestle  among  the  trees. At  all  the  sanatoria  the  superintendents  again  make  re- 3[uests  for  an  appropriation  for  "recreation  halls."  And undoubtedly  proper  recreation  hall  buildings  would  add to  the  attractiveness  of  all  the  sanatoria.  We  have  hesi- tated about  endorsing  these  requests  because  of  the  ex- pense involved  and  because  these  buildings  have  not  been an  essential.  At  the  Shelton  Sanatorium  we  have  provid- ed a  recreation  hall  by  making  over  for  that  purpose,  the whole  first  floor  of  what  was  formerly  used  as  a  nurses' home ;  the  upper  floor  is  now  being  used  for  the  housing of  male  help.  In  the  other  institutions  there  are  no  places of  assem.bly  except  the  large  dining  rooms  and  the  little central  rooms  in  the  various  shacks.  The  arguments  in favor  of  establishing  these  recreation  halls  at  the  Hart- ford,Norwich  and  Meriden  sanatoria  are  a  little  stronger this  year  than  heretofore  because  of  the  increased  oppor- tunities nowadays  for  entertainment.  Thanks  to  the  gen- erosity of  the  National  officers  of  the  Knights  of  Colum- bus and  other  friends  of  the  sanatoria,  three  of  the  insti- tutions are  now  equipped  with  fine  moving  picture  ma- chines, and  in  the  fourth, Hartford,  the  proprietors  of  the local  theatres  bring  their  own  machines  and  films  to  de- light the  patients.  Of  course,  it  would  be  safer,  more  san- itary, and  less  disturbing  to  the  machinery  of  the  sana-

20  STATE    OF    CONNECTICUT. toria  to  have  these  and  similar  entertainments  given  in  a proper  assembly  hall  than  in  the  general  dining  room. The  Meriden  Sanatorium  has  a  special  claim  to  make  in the  matter  of  the  need  of  a  recreation  building.  As  Mer- iden, in  the  future,  will  have  only  children  patients, it  will be  necessary  to  have  some  proper  place  apart  from  the dormitory  buildings  where  such  children  as  are  able  may go  to  school.  A  new  assembly  hall  of  some  kind  would fill  all  the  school  needs  of  the  institution.  If  the  General Assembly  sees  fit  to  authorize  us  to  carry  out  this  program of  recreation  halls,  we  will  need  $12,500  for  Meriden  and $10,000  each  for  Hartford  and  Norwich.  Other  of  the Meriden  Sanatorium  needs  are  $1,500  for  outfitting  a playground,  and  $10,000  for  the  equipment  of  the  new children's  building  already  authorized. THE  NORWICH  SANATORIUM. The  Sanatorium  at  Norwich,  the  newest  in  construc- tion and  by  some  of  the  out-of-the-state  experts  consider- ed to  be  the  most  modern  and  most  attractive  tuberculosis sanatorium  in  this  part  of  the  world,  still  retains  its  hold on  popular  favor.  As  Dr.  Hugh  B.  Campbell  is  its  super- intendent and  has  been  its  superintendent  from  the  begin- ing,  it  is  needless  to  say  that  to  him  much  of  the  success  of the  institution  is  due.  In  spite  of  the  fact,  already  men- tioned, that  his  services  as  a  tuberculosis  specialist  are  in great  demand  by  the  hospitals  and  clinics  and  private physicians  of  the  eastern  part  of  the  state,  he  continues  to have  intimate  control  of  every  patient  in  the  sanatorium. The  special  construction  demands  of  the  Norwich  San- atorium for  the  next  two  years  are  not  many ;  $2,500  for enlarging  the  old  farm  house  in  order  to  better  accommo- date the  help  and  make  it  possible  to  employ  as  an  assist- ant, a  married  physcian  ;  $4,000  for  an  enlargement  of  the kitchen  with  a  bake  room.  The  question  of  recreation hall  and  heliotheraphy  platform  we  have  already  dis- cussed. THE  SHELTON  SANATORIUM. The  Shelton  Sanatorium,  on  one  of  the  hills  overlooking the  Housatonic  valley,  has,  perhaps,  the  most  command- ing location  of  any  of  the  sanatoria  and  because  of  its proximity  to  several  large  and  growing  cities,  it  is  prob- ably destined  to  become  the  largest  institution  of  its kind  in  the  state.       Dr.  Edward  J.  Lynch  continues  to  be

14  NARRATIVE will  present  to  your  honorable  body  in  requests  for  special appropriations  for  Shelton,  Meriden,  and  Norwich. OUR  SANATORIA  SCHOOLS At  both  of  our  sanatoria  for  children  we  conduct schools.  We  employ  five  competent  graduated  and  cer- tificated teachers,  four  at  Undercliff  and  one  at  The  Sea- side. Not  every  good  teacher  of  the  ordinary  school  is capable  of  doing  good  work  with  children  sick  or  crippled with  tuberculosis.  It  is,  therefore,  a  matter  of  great satisfaction  to  us  that  we  are  able  to  report  that  the  re- sults obtained  by  our  staff  of  teachers  have  received  the approval  of  inspectors  of  the  State  Department  of Education,  and  of  other  competent  pedagogic  critics. Several  of  our  pupils  have  successfully  taken  the  High School  examinations  of  various  cities.  Very  interesting reports  have  come  to  us  from  teachers  of  public  schools, of  the  good  impressions  our  cured  and  bronzed  and  happy children  have  made  on  the  minds  and  morale  of  the  rest of  the  pupils. WHY  SANATORIA? ''Many  tuberculosis  patients  die  in  sanatoria.  They could  do  no  worse  at  home.  Many  tuberculosis  patients recover,  at  home.  They  could  do  no  better  in  sanatoria. Why  then  sanatoria?" In  some  such  words,  skeptical  citizens  occasionally  ex- press their  views  of  the  great  work  that  Connecticut,  for the  past  dozen  years,  has  been  conducting  at  her  state tuberculosis  sanatoria. Why  Sanatoria?  Because  without  sanatoria,  a  thous- and sick  citizens  of  Connecticut  who  are  now,  bravely and  hopefully  fighting  for  their  lives  under  conditions most  favorable  for  success,  would  be  forced  to  make  their fight  under  conditions  that  the  experience  of  civilization has  shown  to  be  least  favorable  for  success.  Yes,  tubercu- lous patients  die  at  sanatoria  and  yes,  tuberculous  pa- tients will  continue  to  die  at  sanatoria  until  somebody discovers  a  specific  that  will  cure  tuberculosis,  as  quinine cures  malaria,  or  as  morphine  cures  pain.  But  yes,  also, tuberculous  patients  are  cured  at  sanatoria  and  they  are cured  in  numbers  proportionately  larger  than  in  the  prac- tice of  any  private  physician.  Of  the  patients  who  come to  Connecticut's  tuberculosis  sanatoria,  the  very  sick, whether  rich  or  poor,  are  benefited  by  the  opportunity

8  Narrative Undercliff Undercliff,  the  sanatorium  at  Meriden  intended  for children  afflicted  with  pulmonary  tuberculosis  is  the  second in  size  of  the  State's  sanatoria.  It  contains  220  beds.  The importance  of  discovering  and  treating  the  tuberculosis  of children  becomes  more  and  more  important  every  year. Also  every  year,  the  difficulty  of  making  early  diagnosis of  pulmonary  tuberculosis  in  children  becomes  more  and more  apparent  to  the  most  skillful  of  experts.  The  micro- scope may  give  only  negative  evidence;  the  X-ray  pictures may  show  nothing,  or  they  may  show  shadows  that  conflict with  the  evidence  afforded  by  the  listening  ear  of  the  exam- iner; the  general  physical  condition  of  the  little  suspect may  belie  some  or  all  of  the  indictment  afforded  by  the X-rays,  or  by  the  child's  history  or  environment.  Never- theless, it  is  essential  that  if  the  child  has  tuberculosis,  it should  be  treated,  and  if  it  does  not  have  tuberculosis,  it should  not  be  kept  in  a  tuberculosis  sanatorium.  We  are fortunate  in  having  on  the  staff  of  the  sanatorium  at Meriden,  physicians  who  thoroughly  appreciate  the  diag- nostic and  other  problems  that  every  patient  in  the institution  brings  to  them,  and  who  are  keen  and  diligent in  the  study  of  these  problems. In  the  days  of  the  stage-coach,  the  present  infirmary building  at  Undercliff  was  a  well  known  road  house.  When the  railroads  ended  the  stage-coach  era,  the  old  building became  the  almshouse  of  Meriden.  After  Meriden  grew ashamed  and  built  its  present  brick  building  to  house  the town  paupers,  the  State  took  over  the  shambling  old hostelry  in  order  to  begin  with  it,  the  projected  campaign against  tuberculosis.  For  several  years,  under  the  super- intendency  of  the  late  Dr.  James  B.  Dinnan  it  served  the purpose  for  which  it  was  bought.  Its  verandas  and  its little  indoor  cubicles,  at  one  time  housed  nearly  100  tuber- culous adults.  Since  1918,  when  Undercliff  was  transformed into  an  institution  for  children  only,  this  old  infirmary building  has  been  constantly  in  use.  On  its  three  creaking floors  have  been  the  beds  of  fifty  of  the  sicker  children, the  administration  offices,  the  quarters  of  the  family  of  one of  the  assistant  physicians,  and  the  rooms  of  a  dozen  or more  of  the  male  servants.  To  make  possible  this  long- continued  use  of  the  old  fire-trap,  we  have  been  obhged  to brace  its  foundation,  to  bolster  its  walls,  to  relay  its  floors, and  of  course,  to  frequently  repaint,  replaster,  and  reroof it.  Its  age  and  its  skeletal  crumbling  have  been  pretty  well camouflaged,  but  now  we  have  decided  that  it  ought  to  be

Narrative  '.) retired  from  further  hospital  duty  and  that  we  must  ask  the General  Assembly  to  let  us  replace  it  with  a  modern  fire- proof building  of  brick  or  stone.  The  justice  and  timeliness of  our  decision  will  be  apparent  to  the  members  of  the General  Assembly  when  they  visit  Undercliff  this  winter, and  see  for  themselves  the  terrible  fire  hazard  to  which  the children  in  the  present  infirmary  building  are  now  exposed. Cedarcrest Cedarcrest,  the  third  in  point  of  size  of  the  State  Tuber- culosis Sanatoria,  is  situated  in  the  town  of  Newington, but  only  a  mile  from  the  Hartford  city  line.  It  has  accom- modations for  192  patients  and  usually  a  waiting  list  for the  men's  infirmary.  The  General  Assembly  at  its  last session  appropriated  thirty-nine  thousand  dollars  for  the installing  of  a  central  heating  plant  at  Cedarcrest.  The carrying  out  of  this  great  improvement  as  projected,  gave us  an  opportunity  to  devise  an  attractive  rearrangement  of the  roads,  and  to  eliminate  many  of  the  unsightly  poles and  wires  that  hitherto  had  crossed  and  recrossed  the grounds.  By  agreement  with  the  electric  light  and  tele- graph companies  we  have,  wherever  possible,  buried  these wires  in  the  brick  conduits  for  carrying  the  steam  from the  central  heating  plant  to  the  various  buildings  of  the institution.  In  spite  of  the  fact  that  all  the  buildings  at Cedarcrest  are  of  rather  cheap  wooden  construction,  and of  a  type  that  we  have  not  used  in  recent  years,  the splendid  site  of  the  institution  lends  itself  readily  to  every beautifying  effort,  and  we  hope  soon  to  see  Cedarcrest vying  in  attractiveness  with  the  best  of  the  State's  sana- toria. As  a  means  to  this  end,  and  also  to  improve  the accommodations  for  the  very  sick  patients  as  this  institu- tion, and  to  abolish  the  waiting  list,  and  to  better  the morale  of  the  place,  we  propose  to  present  a  request  for an  appropriation  for  a  new  fireproof  structure  at  Cedarcrest, that  will  be  a  combination  infirmary  and  administration building. During  the  past  two  years,  we  have  moved  the  old summer  cottage  from  the  recently  purchased  Balf  farm  to the  original  sanatorium  grounds,  and  made  it  over  into  a commodious  and  comfortable  residence  for  one  of  the  resi- dent physicians. The  central  laundry  located  on  the  grounds  at  Cedar- crest, continues  to  function  satisfactorily.  It  has  been found  necessary,  however,  to  replace  some  of  the  wornout machinery.    Hitherto  we  have  kept  the  horses  of  the  insti-

ACT  TO  CREATE  A  HOSPITAL  FOE  THE  INSANE  IN  THE 
STATE  OF  COxNNECTlCUT. 
Whereas,  The  report  of  the  Commission  appointed  by  this 
Assembly  in  the  year  1865  shows  that  there  are  seven  hun- 
dred and  six  insane  persons  in  the  State  of  Connecticut,  of 
whom  two  hundred  and  two  are  in  the  Retreat  at  Hartford ; 
two  hundred  and  four  are  in  the  almshouses,  and  three  hun- 
dred outside  of  both ;  and  whereas,  it  is  impossible  to  secure 
suitable  care  and  medical  attention  for  this  large  and  deeply 
afflicted  class,  either  in  the  Retreat  or  in  the  almshouses,  or 
in  private  houses ;  and  whereas,  considerations  of  humanity 
and  of  true  economy,  as  well  as  public  welfare  and  of  our 
holy  religion,  all  alike  demand  that  these  persons  should  lib- 
erally be  provided  for  by  the  State ;  therefore, 
Be  it  enacted  by  the  Senate  and  House  of  Representatives 
in  General  Assembly  convened : 
Section  1.  There  shall  be  established  and  maintained,  at 
some  place  in  this  State  to  be  selected  by  a  Board  of  Trustees 
as  hereinafter  provided,  an  institution  to  be  named  "  The 
General  Hospital  for  the  Insane  of  the  State  of  Connecticut." 
Sec.  2.  The  government  thereof  shall  be  vested  in  a 
board  of  twelve  trustees,  consisting  of  the  Governor,  and  one 
from  each  county,  to  be  appointed  by  the  Senate,  and  of  three 
to  be  appointed  by  the  other  trustees,  which  three  shall  be 
selected  from  the  town  or  vicinity  in  which  the  institution 
shall  be  located,  two  of  whom  shall  be  so  appointed  and  com- 
missioned annually ;  and  the  places  of  the  two  senior  members, 
as  they  stand  in  the  order  of  their  appointment,  shall  be 
annually  vacated ;  and  no  trustee  shall  receive  any  compen- 
sation for  his  services,  but  he  shall  be  allowed  the  amount  of 

11 
expenditure  of  which  shall  be  accounted  for  to  the  Comptrol- 
ler, with  the  vouchers,  before  any  other  sum  is  advanced. 
Sec.  6.  The  trustees  shall  hold  their  first  meeting  on  the 
call  of  any  three  of  their  number,  due  notice  being  given  to 
all. 
Sec.  7.  Thirty-five  thousand  dollars  are  hereby  appropri- 
ated to  carry  into  execution  the  provisions  of  this  act. 
Sec.  8.     This  act  is  to  talie  effect  immediately. 
Approved,  June  29,  1866. 

EEPORT  OF  SUPERIITTENDENT. 
Gentlemen  : 
In  presenting  my  report  as  superintendent  of  the  State 
institution  under  your  care  for  the  year  now  past,  and  ending 
March  31, 1869,  it  may  be  well  to  consider,  first,  the  medical 
and  statistical  history  of  the  hospital ;  and  secondly,  the 
building  operations  of  the  past  twelve  months. 
Agreeably  to  the  promise  in  your  last  annual  report,  and 
to  the  announcements  published  in  all  Connecticut  daily  and 
weekly  papers  during  the  month  of  April,  the  hospital  was 
regularly  opened  for  the  admission  of  male  patients  on  Thurs- 
day, April  30, 1868,  just  thirteen  months  after  the  first  work 
was  begun  in  excavation  of  the  site. 
It  must  be  a  source  of  gratification  to  those  philanthropic 
gentlemen,  who,  by  votes  in  the  General  Assembly,  and  by 
other  valuable  services,  have  been  instrumental  in  establish- 
ing, on  a  liberal  scale,  a  State  hospital  for  insane  of  all 
classes,  to  know  that  their  action  has  been  promptly  appre- 
ciated by  the  people  of  Connecticut,  as  shown  by  the  follow- 
ing record. 
There  have  been  admitted  during  the  eleven  months  to  this 
date,  two  hundred  and  sixty-eight  (268)  patients  ;  one  hun- 
dred and  sixty-five  (165)  males,  and  one  hundred  and  three 
(103)  females. 
In  the  act  of  incorporation,  provision  is  made  for  three 
classes  of  patients:  pauper,  indigent,  and  private;  one 
hundred  and  sixty-eight  (168)  pauper  patients,  seventy-six 
(76)  indigent  patients,  and  twenty-four  (24)  private  patients 
have  been  under  treatment.  Of  this  whole  number,  twenty- 
five  (25)  were  discharged  recovered,  eleven  (11)  were  dis- 
charged much  improved,  six  (6)  were  discharged  not 
improved,  two  (2)  were  found  to  be  not  insane,  and  of  course

CONNECTICUT HOSPITAL FOR THE INSANE.

And in taking care of them the resident officers are aided by 
% 
179 persons, employed thus: 
93 in the wards and sewing-rooms. 
33 in the kitchens and bakery. 
18 in the laundry. 
14 on the farm and gardens. 
16 mechanics. 
5 miscellaneous help. 
That comparatively so few should suffice for the care of so 
many would be surprising were it not borne in mind that a large 
number of the insane habitually participate in various industrial 
pursuits and thus lessen the aggregate cost of support, while 
getting for themselves the benefit of occupation. In the summer 
more (in the winter a little less) than half of the male patients 
are employed, and at all seasons about 40 per cent, of the women. 
Nevertheless the question is often asked, Why are so many 
patients to be seen absolutely idle ? In reply, take for instance 
a bright June day when work enough awaits all who can be in¬ 
duced to do anything and the record is thus tabulated. For the 
form of the table credit is due to the reports of the South York¬ 
shire Asylum at Wadsley, England.

Another frequent question is, how many of these people are 
likely to recover? And in reply candor permits hopeful prophe¬ 
cies in comparatively few cases. This may be inferred even from 
the single fact that 86 per cent, of the 1,292 patients remaining 
at the end of the year (Table XXVI.) have been insane longer than 
twelve months, and have thus passed the limit within which 
(Table XIX.) most recoveries occur. More than half of them, by 
the way, have been inmates of this Hospital longer than five 
years. Furthermore, the other points to be considered in prog¬ 
nosis, such as the form of insanity, hereditary influences, vicious 
habits, the depressing effects of poverty or disease, oftener 

A 1902 map links New Haven with West Haven, Savin Rock, Woodmont and neighboring communities. Follow the printed branches toward Savin Rock and Woodmont on the west side of the harbor, or toward East Haven and Branford on the east side.

The 1904 guide’s map places Savin Rock and New Haven within a wider network of trolley excursions. The accompanying guide describes a break north of New Haven. Read its map and instructions together; the drawing is not evidence of one continuous through-running streetcar.

A statewide 1911 railway map shows the New Haven network in relation to Connecticut’s other systems. The printed legend distinguishes street railway tracks, electrified railroads and steam railroads. Preserve those distinctions when tracing a journey.

The Shore Line Electric Railway and Norwich and Westerly Traction Company mapped their eastern Connecticut network in July 1914. This corporate map is evidence of the historic Shore Line Electric Railway. That company and today’s Shore Line Trolley Museum are different entities.

The Connecticut Company’s 1920 map places New Haven and the coast within a dense statewide transport network. The title explicitly includes connections. A line appearing here should not automatically be captioned as a Connecticut Company route or as operating throughout 1920.

A streetcar stands among Winchester employees at Munson Street and Winchester Avenue during the noon break, April 6, 1918. This wartime industrial scene shows street railways amid the everyday movements of factory workers. The identified intersection grounds the image in New Haven.

A divided-back postcard shows the Colonial Inn streetcar station in West Haven; the card was postmarked in 1912. A small shelter and trackside waiting area show the local infrastructure behind coastal trolley excursions.

The Savin Rock waiting station shares its wooded setting with a tall high-striker amusement game. The waiting station makes a useful companion to the 1904 guide’s route through Savin Rock: transport facilities stood within the resort landscape.

A streetcar and curving tracks appear in this postcard of Momauguin, postmarked 1910. The shoreline network also served East Haven. This image expands the regional story while keeping its municipality clear.

A yellow streetcar appears on Chapel Street in a Tichnor Brothers linen postcard, cataloged circa 1930–1945. The streetcar shares the downtown street with automobiles. The specimen’s OFFICE FILE stamp is part of the surviving publisher’s record.

Route 46 in the 1904 guide describes Bridgeport to New Haven through Stratford, Milford, Woodmont and Savin Rock: 22 miles, two hours and 25 cents. This is contemporary passenger information, with a named sequence of places and printed fare. Route 46 is the book’s itinerary number, not a verified transit-company route number.

The next guide page explains that onward travel from New Haven required rail to Wallingford or a trolley to Cheshire followed by a drive to Milldale. The route guide prevents a misleading reading of a dense network map: a traveler still encountered gaps and changes of transport.

James McLay biography records purchase of the former Grand Avenue and Bright Street skating rink in 1891 and its conversion for carriage making.

HISTORY OF WEST HAVEN
the operators of Savin Rock. During the year 1938, a new Water-Scooter
was built in the Grove at a cost of over $30,000, a new Fun House costing over
$7,000 was erected on Reach Street, and a new skating rink, also on Beach Street
was constructed at an expense of about $20,000.
In the hurricane of September, 1938, the high seas and gale wrecked practi¬
cally all of the buildings on the south side of Reach Street, with the exception
of the Showboat, which, ironically, was the only building in Savin Rock covered
by hurricane insurance.
Elaborate plans are now in preparation for many new amusement concessions
and renovation of the old. Two new “rides” have been erected on the site of
the Palais Royal, which was completely demolished. The Thunderbolt, partially
destroyed, has been rebuilt, and a new nightclub has been opened on Shore Road
at Oyster River. The baseball park and the outdoor arena, used for boxing
bouts and midget auto races, both suffered heavy hurricane damages but have
since been thoroughly reconditioned. A carrousel, to extend over the water on
the south side of Reach Street is under construction at a cost of more than
$50,000 and a large wooden dancehall, formerly on Washington Avenue, has
been moved to Reach Street in front of the Hill’s Homestead, and converted
into a “ride”.
A campaign to incorporate West Haven as a city failed in a Town Meeting
in 1929. A State Armory was constructed here in 1931, and the appointment of
a zoning board, zoning inspector and zoning board of appeals was voted. The
1939 Grand List was $62,945,006 gross. The town area is 7,204 acres.

HISTORY OF WEST HAVEN
At Savin Rock, a busy resort area, known as “The Coney Island of Con¬
necticut’', are many hotels and restaurants where shore dinners may he enjoyed
at the water’s edge. Skating rinks and dance halls cater to carefree throngs.
Special busses bring loads of happy pleasure seekers. High against the sky,
lined in incandescent tracery, tower the roller coasters. Red neon signs glow
over inviting entrances to lobster and soft-shell crab emporiums; soft drink
signs and giant ice cream cones invite trade in shops where bright metal and
spotless white tables glitter under the glare of giant bulbs. Boxing fans attend
fightcards of exceptional quality and midget autos race for record crowds.
Westerly from Savin Rock’s amusements lie the rocks from which the area
takes its name; the point of debarkation for the men from Tryon’s fleet of Brit¬
ish raiders. Within the shadow of the varicolored lights, this lookout point rises
from the otherwise level shoreline and provides an eminence from which the
early settlers once watched for returning whalers and sealers. Dwarf cedars
and sprawling junipers, known as Savin Trees, covered these rocks.
Bradley Point, jutting out into the Sound, is one of West Haven’s delight¬
ful beaches. Both summer cottages and year-round residences have been built
in this section. Colorful beach attire, brightly painted canoes, lawn and beach
furniture in gay color schemes, create a varied pattern on the flat, white sand.
At Cove River, a town bathing beach provides opportunity for a cool, clean
swim for those residents without a cottage or beach of their own. Vendors in
white, selling ice cream cones or soda pop, and sometimes a popcorn peddler’s
cart, frequent the spot. Captain Michael Hammond, who conducts a retail fish
market here, is a veteran fisherman and fondly recalls the days when he operated
a small fleet of his own. Children and their mothers, young people excited at
their freedom from school, all gather at Cove River during the season.
Continuing westerly along the shorefront, rounding the point once called
Oyster River Point, now, Aimes Point, the highway swings into the cove where
Oyster River meets the sea. A West Haven community beach here, well
policed and carefully safeguarded, is usually crowded with merry bathers in sea¬
son.
From the (low of Oyster River, shellfish once received just the amount of
fresh water requ.ied their best grow th. Fisherfolk (flagged their nets here,
and the little l *»niai loops rode at anchor awaiting loads of farm produce
f the New Y ,k market r the West Indies trade.

Tiii? Back Country
Behind the town itself, gently rolling hills offer many vantage points for a
panoramic view of Long Island Sound, the township, and, on clearer days, even
the island itself. Stone fences divide rolling upland pastures and brushlots, with
here and there a trace of the old rail fences, built of split chestnut. Gray birch,
sweet fern, red cedar and low huckleberry bushes cover many of these hills, with
