And if the judge certifies that satisfactory proof has been adduced showing him to be an inebriate, and his estate is insufficient to support him and his family (or if he has no family, himself), and that he would probably reform under treatment therein, on his certificate, authenticated by the county clerk and seal of the superior court, he shall be admitted into the said asylum, and kept there until he shall be reformed, but the said period is not to exceed one year, by which time, if he shall not be reformed, he shall be discharged as being an incurable inebriate; and a majority of the trustees of the said asylum may at any time discharge an inebriate who has been reformed, upon the recommendation of the superintendent of the said asylum, and the same authority to discharge shall apply to any inebriate who shall be found to be incurable by the said superintendent of the said asylum.

The commitment of any inebriate to the said asylum shall not be made by any judge of the superior court for a longer period than one year. And whenever there are vacancies in the said asylum, the trustees of same may authorize the superintendent of same to admit, under such rules and regulations as the trustees of the said asylum may adopt, by special agreement, such private patients as may seek admission, who, in his opinion, promise reformation; but preference in all cases shall be given to citizens of the state; and the charges, to be collected monthly in advance, for keeping of such private inebriate patients, shall not be less than the cost of their food, care, and the attendance furnished them.
