Broome County Court starts Monday, Nov. 28, and the Board of Supervisors also Is in session, while compensation hearings and other meetings are scheduled, held for the jury room. It was anticipated that Supreme Court session would close before this date, but because of the number of cases still on the calendar for trial It may be necessary to hold that court in the old grand jury room in the basement of the courthouse. There will be about 35 criminal Indictments to be disposed of by trial or pleas at the term of County Court.

Yesterday afternoon District Attorney Urbane C. Lyons got an order signed by Justice Kellogg sending to County Court 21 Indictments found at the last session of the grand Jury, and as a result none of these cases will be disposed of in Supreme Court, as had been anticipated.

Smith for better care and tieatment of Insane wards In the state. In the opinion of members of the staff of the Binghamton Institution.

The population of the State hos-pltal here is approximately 3,600 and an increase would make It impossible for the superintendent to give enough personal attention to his charges, it Is said. In view of this, it is suggested I that an out-hospital in this district to care for the Increase in insanity cases would be a more practical sohi-tlon of the problem than enlargement of the capacity of the present Institution. Members of the state hospital staff made it plain, however, that although they do not favor enlarging the capacity of the institution, this is not to be taken as an indication that they believe the Binghamton state hospital should not be developed and Improved to care more efficiently for its present quota, of patients. Kaeilities are barely adequate to take care of the population at present, it is pointed out, and a program for the expansion of facilities is now bting promoted. Discussion of the status of the Blnphamton State hospital and its future was called by the statement of Governor Smith before a conference of state social welfare workers In Troy Wednesday night, In which he said a definite policy for the care and treatment of insane wards of the state must be worked out.

Speaking of cutting expenses, the Governor said: "I can cut down expenses. Some activity of the state must suffer. I will not do it at the expense of the helpless wards of the state who cannot tight back." "I regard the Binghamton State hospital as serving very well the needs of the area which it covers," Baid a member of the local staff to-uay. "This hospital takes patients from Broome, Chenango, Chemung, Cortland, Delaware, Madison, Otsego, ROBKRT EDWARDS Binghamton has dispatched another ambassador into the World of Vaudeville in the person of Robert (Bob) Edwards, who now is touring the New England states with Eddie Ieonard's Banjo Boys. Friends who have heard from Edwards, recently, say the orchestra is a headline act on Keith's big time circuit.

Edwards Is widely known In this section and his popularity was earned through his magnetic personality and his versatility where music is concerned. A letter from Edwards Informs friends that he was playing in Brockton, and would go from there to Boston and then to Cambridge. Besides singing tenor In the quartet In the act, Edwards does a solo dance and plays the piano, bones, banjo, ukulele and jazz flute. Boys' Club Director Wins Highest Honor in Training Course Walter G. Razey of the Bingham Owners of property in the First and Thirteenth wards, continue to protest against what they believe would be a serious damage to property values, continual source of annoyance to that section ef the city from undesirable odors, and the danger of contamination from garbage polluted waters.

If the Common Council consents to the use of Conk-lln's flats as a garbage dump. They concede that If the plan was a success that the flats would eventually be Improved, but the danger and annoyance residents of that section would have to undergo, during the years required to complete the- fill Is far in excess of tho ultimate values received, they say. Suggestion was made, however, that Inasmuch as there seemed to a number of good arguments both for and ajminst the proposal, the Common Council should grant a public hearing on the matter and allow proponents of both the Conklin and the Matthews properties to present their cases. i Expressions of opinion today by those opposed to the public dump proposition were as follows: Georfre II. Dann, a Irfx-kwood stree "I am very much opposed to the project.

It looks very foolish to me, to undertake the establishment of a garbage dump at this location. Odors arising from it would be unbearable and the Inevitable washing away of the garbage in times of flood would bestrew banks on both sides of the river with partly decayed matter. I don't believe that state department of health would countenance such action on the part of the city. It would be an awful detriment to my property, and if the plan Is adopted I will have to dispose of my properly. 1 am very much opposed to the plan." Henry J.

Iovo, former alderman of the Thirteenth ward "I think a garbage dump on Conklin's flats is the worst thing that could possibly happen to property in that vicinity. not be. if for no other Four Endicott Hunters, Millport and Norwich Men Pay $60 in Fines Four residents of Endicott, arrested for hunting on posted property in Tioga county, paid lines amounting to 180. 8- B.

People coming into Binghamton are greeted with odors of decaying garbage and in time of high water the garbage will be washed down the river and strewn through the central and residential portions of the city while in warm weather the whole section of the city in which the dump is located will be permeated with ob.iectionn.ble odors." Mrs. ISrrtlia SI. Warner, president of the Zonta club "I think after Conklin's flats have been completely filled in, it would be great improve ment to this part or tne cuy. ui during the process of filling I can realize there are many objectionable conditions that would affect residents of that locality. Odors from garbage dumps are annoying, but If those living In the neighborhood could stand it until the lill Is completed it would be an Improvement.

Mrs. Herbert Shooter, Front street "A garbago dump on Conklin's flats would be a horrible thing. It would be a detriment to all property and should not be permitted under any circumstances. The flats are flooded again and again and I think it is a ridiculous proposition that never should have been taken up." Mrs. 1tivla Murkoy, 426 iTont street "It would be an awful thing to have the odor of the garbage dump here.

I realize that there would eventually be a property improvement, after the fill was finished, but it would be awful trying to stand it during the progress of the fill. There are other places that need filling much more than Conklin's flats. It would cost a large amount of money to complete the fill properly and there are other parts of the city that should be filled first, allowing this to fome Ir.ter."

"A glance over the state reports shows that the number of patienta per hospital ranges from 207 in the new Harlem Valley institution, formerly Wingdale state prison, to 6,838 in Manhattan State hospital. The happy medium seems to be about 3,000 and hospital superintendents generally believe that the population of a hospital should not exceed that number. If that number is exceeded they find it difficult to administer Dronerlv to the natlents." It is regarded by local Jiygiene authorities as likely mac the future developments in the treatment of patients at the local hospital will include the conversion of some nearby center, such as the Woman's Relief Corps Home at Oxford, Chenango county, now Tenanted by 165 Civil War veterans and their wives into an out-hospital, to be administered probably under the direction of Dr. William C. Garvin, superintendent of the Binghamton State hospital.

Adequate facilities exist at Oxford, Or at the Soldiers" and Sailors' Home at Bath, for the treatment of former service men of the type now cared for at the State hospital and at Willard State hospital, which ministers to the hospital area including Bath. The establishment 'of an out-hospital of this nature, it is believed, would be In keeping with the new policy that has resulted in Marcy Division, the out-hospital of the I'tlca State hospital, and Creedmoor, the out-hospital of the Brooklyn State hospital. The. Women's Relief Corps Home was established about 40 years ago, and at one time housed a large population of widows and orphans of veterans of the Civil War, as well as war veterans. Its population in 1924 was in 1925 it, was 177 and in 1926 only lfiS.
