torium care and treatment at the appropriate cost of maintenance and
operation of the DeJarnette State Sanatorium.
Section 3. Except as herein otherwise provided, the control and
management of the DeJarnette State Sanatorium shall in like manner
and to the same extent that the control and management of the Western
State Hospital is now vested in the superintendent and the special
board of directors of the Western State Hospital and the general board
of directors of the State hospitals and the State Colony for Epileptics
and Feebleminded, be vested in the said superintendent and boards
of directors who shall formulate and set up such rules and regulations
as may be proper and necessary for the control of the DeJarnette State
Sanatorium, and as may best promote the development of the De-
Jarnette State Sanatorium, for the purpose set forth in the next suc-
ceeding section of this act.
Section 4. Any white person applying for admission to the De-
Jarnette State Sanatorium may be received therein as a patient if he
or she is mentally capable of affixing his or her signature to the papers
of admission, or of giving his or her consent to the signing of the
papers of admission by a relative or next friend, with knowledge of
the consequences of such act, and who, in the opinion of the superin-
tendent of the Western State Hospital, is able to and agrees to pay for
his or her care and treatment as a patient in such sanatorium.
The superintendent of the Western State Hospital is also author-
ized to receive into the DeJarnette State Sanatorium as patients, per-
sons who, in his opinion, are by reason of their mental condition ren-
dered incapable of applying for admission and of affixing their signa-
tures to, or of consenting to the signing of the papers of admission.
In every such case, the application for admission shall be made and
the admission papers signed by a relative or next friend of the person
for whom admission is sought, which relative or next friend shall
agree to pay for the care and treatment of stich person and, in the
opinion of the superintendent or the special board of directors of the
Western State Hospital, be financially able to pay for such care and
treatment. In such event such papers shall constitute a contract bind-
ing on the relative or friend signing the same. But no person shall
be admitted or received into this sanatorium as a patient unless such
person be admitted or received for treatment for mental or nervous
diseases or conditions arising from inebriety, or the use of drugs.
Section 5. The superintendent and the special board of directors
of the Western State Hospital shall quarterly report to the general
board of directors of the State hospitals of Virginia and the State
Colony for Epileptics and Feebleminded the condition of the DeJar-
nette State Sanatorium. Such report shall show the financial condi-
tion of the DeJarnette State Sanatorium at the end of the quarter
the number of patients received, discharged, furloughed, died or re-
moved by other causes during such quarter, and such other informa-
tion as may be required by the board.
Section 6. The superintendent and the special board of directors
of the Western State Hospital shall fix and regulate from time to time,
as may be necessary, the rates and charges to be charged for the care
and treatment of persons admitted to the DeJarnette State Sanatorium,
including reasonable interest charges on the investment and depreci-
ation on the building. Such rates and charges shall be sufficient to
provide and maintain in the DeJarnette State Sanatorium, without any
appropriations from the State for the cost of the maintenance and
operation of such sanatorium, a standard of care and treatment equal
to that of efficient and well managed private sanatoriums.
Section 614. Under no circumstances shall any non-resident of the
State of Virginia be admitted as a patient in the said institution.
Section 7. All moneys collected or received by the DeJarnette
State Sanatorium, or by the superintendent, or the special board of
directors of the Western State Hospital, for and on behalf of the
DeJarnette State Sanatorium shall be -paid into the State treasury.
Such moneys shall be set aside and constitute a special fund for the
maintenance and operation of the DeJarnette State Sanatorium, and
are hereby specifically appropriated for such purposes to be paid out
by the State Treasurer on warrants of the Comptroller issued on vouch-
ers signed by the superintendent of the Western State Hospital or
some agent duly authorized by him for such purpose.
Section 8. All acts and parts of acts inconsistent with the provisions
of this act are hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistency.
