Lunacy. The commission appointed to the 

 charge of this subject consists of three members, 

 as follows : Charles F. McDonald, Goodwin 

 Brown, and Henry A. Reeves. Their annual re- 

 port for the year ending Oct. 1, 1801, shows that 

 827 insane patients wore transferred from county 

 houses to State lio>]iitnls, of whom 392 were men 

 and 485 were women. There are 1,215 patients 

 still remaining in county houses, of whom 547 are 

 men and 608 women. The commission expects, 



shortly, that the 1,215 patients will be under 

 state-care, as the construction of nearly all of 

 tin- State-care buildings is well underway and 

 will Ui completed by Oct. 1, 18D2. S>n 

 patients have In en taken from county houses 

 under State care since the State-can- act went 

 into effect in May, 1K!M), which provides that 

 when the final tran-fer is made the care of the 

 iii-ati.- shall be 11 State charge, and an annual 

 appropriation, estimated by the commission in 

 lunacy at not to exceed $1,300,000 for the pres- 

 ent number of patients, will be necessary to 

 comply with the provisions of this act. 



New York and Aings ('(.unties are not subject 

 to the provisions of the State-care uc!. I'mler 

 county care in New York on Oct. 1, were 5,390 

 patients, of whom 2,459 were men and 2,931 

 were women. The total shows an increase of 

 343 patients last year over that of the preceding 

 year. In Kings there were 1,997 patients under 

 county care on Oct. 1, of whom 828 were men and 

 1,169 women. The number of insane under 

 county care in Kings last year shows an increase 

 of 112 over that of last year. 



The investments in hospitals amount to $9,- 

 590,488.97. There are 9 separate institutions 

 belonging to the State. In addition, New York 

 County has 4 asylums for the insane, Kings 

 County has 2, and there are 17 licensed private 

 asylums. 



The whole number of insane in custody on 

 Oct. 1, 1891, was 16,623, as follows: State hospitals. 

 7,200; licensed private asylums, 847; asylums 

 of New York and Kings Counties, 7,863 ; county 

 poor-houses awaiting removal. 1,213. 



This is an increase of 613 in the number of 

 insane over the previous year, although a de- 

 crease in the ratio to population. 



Banking Department. This department is 

 under the management of a superintendent, who 

 receives a salary of f 5,000 a year. The present 

 incumbent is Charles AI. Preston, whose report 

 for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 1891, relative 

 to incorporated banks, individual bankers, safe- 

 deposit companies, and trust companies, shows 

 that 20 banks have been organized, with a capi- 

 talization of $2,370,000. The increase of total 

 resources of State banks on Sept. 12, 1891, over 

 the same date in 1S!)0 \va ::M. It ap- 



pears from the receiver's report of the North 

 River Bank of New York city that he has already 

 paid 50 per cent., and it is probable he will pay 

 additional dividends. The increase in banking 

 capital for the year by the formation of new 

 hanks was $2,370,000, and the total increase in 

 the capital of the ten associations previously or- 

 ganized was $1,095,000. There has been a de- 

 crease in the banking capital of 7 banks during 

 the same period of $1,294,125. The outstanding 

 circulation of banks incorporated under State 

 hws is $83,434. No individual banking associa- 

 tions were organized during the year, and but 3 

 are now doing business in this State. There 

 were organized 9 national banks in the year. 

 with a capitalization of $1,700.000, against 20 

 new banks organized under the State banking 

 act, with a capitalization of $2,370.000. At th 

 close of the fiscal year there were 33 trust com- 

 panies in active operation in the State, 20 of 

 them being in New York city and 7 in Brook- 

 lyn. Three new trust companies were organized.
