PUBLIC Ixsuru1oxs AND BUILDINGS.

PUBLIC IHsuTUnoxs- AND BUILDINGS.
The laws regulating the public Institutions Of
the State ere not uniform and arc defective.
Section 2, Article xv, of the Constitution, pro-
.fice, the tenure Of which shall be longer than
four years. The Trustees 0f the Insane Ayslum.
three IN number, now hold their Office for six
years. No tenure whatever is fixed to the Office
of the Commissioners Of the State House. The
Trustees Of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, five in
number, hold their ofires for two years. The
Trustees Of the Blnd Asylum three in number,
hold their Offices for three years. The salaries Of
the oficers Of some of the Institutions, and their
respective duties, are fixed by Law, while in the
case OF others, there are no provisions whatever.
The act relating to the Penifentiary provides for
the appointment Of an Architect by the Cover
nor, and also by the Board Of Directors
recommend general reorganization of these
institutions; that the terms Of their officers be
uniform, and that their duties and salaries be
defined by law.
Those in charge Of most of our public Insfitn-
tons ask for appropriations for the erection and
extension Of buildings. While We ought not to
be niggsrtiy or parsimonious in providing for the
support and enlargement of these Institutions, 1t
will be your duty to see that strict economy is
observed in all public expenditures. Heretofore
measures for aid to the State Institnfions have
been regarded rs local in their character, and, by
. combination OF interests, large appropriations
have been made. This policy is clearly wrong.
While the interest taken in the varions Institu-
tions, by the people in their respective localities,
is to be commended, yet We should remember that
the Institutions belong to and are supported by
the State. Every appropriation for their benefit
should be based upon the necessities of the Insti-
tuition and the demands Of the State, and should
stand upon its merits.
The framers Of the Constitution evidently con-
templated that one million dollars of indebted
ness authorized by that instrument would be suf-
Hcient to pay for the erection Of the permanent
public buildings Of the State, They did not fore
see the growth Of the State they were founding
That Indebtedness has already been incurred, and
yet the buildings Of Some Of our institutions are
only commenced and mono of them are finished.
Such appropriations are made now must be
drawn directly from the pockets Of the people.
There should be created in the Treasury .
"Public Building Fund" out Of which all appro-
priations for the erection and extension Of the
permanent Public Buildings should he made pay
able.
