Raleigh, June 1—Survey of the water supply conditions at the State institution in Morganton and in particular at the State Hospital for the Mentally Insane there, has just been completed by Prof. Thorndyke Seville, chief of the water resources division of the department of conservation and development at the request of Gov. A.W. McLean.
It will be recalled that last year the water supply of the State institutions at Morganton became very low during the drought and in the fall the date of opening the School for the Blind was postponed, as the water usually needed by the school was needed to keep the hospital in operation. It was as a result of this condition that the governor asked this present survey to be made.
Prof. Seville reports that already as a result of the dry weather this spring, the water supply of the State Hospital is beginning to show signs of a shortage pointing to the same conditions this summer as last if steps are not taken at once to provide for an emergency supply.
Several recommendations for the acquiring of this emergency water supply are contained in this report which probably will be followed out in the near future, Governor McLean said.
