By request of the trustees of the Hudson River State Hospital such restrictions were removed as to applicants for the positions of assistant physicians in that institution by resolution of the Commission September 8, 1884. The reasons for this action were in the desire of the trustees to secure the most highly-qualified applicants in the United States. Upon the representation of the superintendent of the Elmira State Reformatory that, on account of difficulty in securing candidates for the position of guard, he desired to open this position to residents in the neighboring parts of Pennsylvania, the restrictions were removed by resolution of the Commission December 5, 1884.
