The number of cases sent to Certified Institutions shows a
decrease of five. It is hoped when the Botley's Park Colony of the
Surrey County Council is available, two desirable steps can be
taken. Firstly, that more cases can be sent to an institution, and
secondly, that cases now placed in institutions a long distance from
Croydon will be withdrawn from those institutions and all placed
nearer Croydon, in the Colony.
