Considering the general stagnation of
business during the past year, this ex-
hibit is a remarkable indication of the
rapid development of the material re-
sources of the State. ..s...
The opening of this adjourned session
of the General Assembly occurring but
sixteen days after the close of the fiscal
year, it has beer impossible for the va
rious departments and public iDstitu-
tions to complete and submit their an
uual reports in time for me to give
them such examination as. would ena-
BILE me to present my views and make
suggestions herein concerning them. L
must, therefore, refer you to the re-
ports themselves, when they shall have
been printed and laid before you. .,.
l have given personal attention to
the working of the penal, reformatory,
and benevolent Institutions OF the
State, having visited them since the
close of your last session. In the main,
they are working well, and are fulfill
ing, in an eminent degree, the design
of their creation. ssti i' p h-- T1r
The reorganizing acts of last session
have been productive of good results.
Especially is this true respecting the
Ohio Penitentiary and the Central Ohio
Hospital for the Insane.
The Penitentiary has been managed
with ability and financial sdccess. Its
report shows that it has netted the
State, during the year, over and above
the salaries of officers and expenses of
maintenance, the sum of $23, ,425 50; and
ovr all expenses, including manufac-
ture of gas for State buildings, repairs,
etc., the sum of E,412 OF. This is a
good showing for year of financial dis
tress and diminished demand for con-
vict labor. r
The act abolishing the Board of Trus-
tees of the Central Ohio Lunatic Asy-
lum (now known as the Central Ohio
Hospital for the Insane) and creating a
Board of Commissioners for the con-
struction of the institution, has produ-
ced results hardly anticipated by the
most sanguine friends of the measure.
Three gentlemen of eminent worth and
peculiar adartability to the wants of
the situation were appointed and con-
tirmed. This new Board found the
unfinished walls of the building much
injured by exposure during the preced-
ing winter, There was. also. AN Alb
