10 First Biennial Report of form adequately the numerous other duties for which these county departments are responsible. The sterilization law should be amended in at least two respects, namely: 1. To provide that the County Superintendent of Public Welfare may act as petitioner in instituting sterilization proceedings in the case of any feebleminded, epileptic or mentally diseased person who is on parole or probation from one of the State institutions and any such person who is an inmate of a State institution when authorized to do so by the Superintendent of such institution. 2. To provide that any feeble-minded, epileptic or mentally diseased person may be admitted to the appropriate State Hospital for purposes of sterilization without the necessity of having such person committed as an inmate; 'provided that the Eugenics Board of North Carolina has previously considered the petition for sterilization and has authorized such an operation. The Superintendent of such State Hospital may in his discretion receive in such manner any such person upon the written request of a superintendent of public welfare or the superintendent of another State institution, where facilities for such operations are not available, and that the State Hospital officials shall have the same authority to restrain and control such person until he has recovered from the operation or until such time as the Superintendent deems wise for his release. The Superintendent of such State Hospital shall be authorized to collect a fee for such operation which shall be sufficient to cover the cost of such operation and the cost of maintenance during the time the patient is in the State Hospital. It is, therefore, recommended that the law be amended in these respects. The members of the Eugenics Board have attended the monthly meetings regularly in person or through duly authorized representatives as provided by law. Dr. J. C. Knox and Dr. R. T. Stimpson of the State Board of Health have each served at numerous meetings for the Secretary of the State Board of Health. Messrs. T. W. Bruton and Emmett Willis of the Attorney General’s Office have each served at numerous meetings for the Attorney General.
