Mr. Barrett remarked, that it would be recol
1ected that in 1912, an appropriation of 5000
was made by the Legislature to. paw up the
long accumulating arrearages Of this institution.
Notwithstanding, in ls43 the expenses exceed
ed the income more than $4,000; in 1914 more
than $1,000 and in l645. down to the present
month, nearly $4,000. 1t seemed to him, this
course of things ought TO be arrested. The
institution should at eas, be made to support
ITSELF Tie had been informed that the New
Hampshire Prison Melted the State a yearly
profit OF $1,000. The State Penilentiary in
Connecticut, as also that at Auburn, instead OF
proving burden TO the people, was relieving
them from taxation. Without designing to cast
any imputation upon any superintendent or d..
rector Of our Prison. he thought il was we'll
worth inquiring IL different result in its 6nan.
