Hayes. The report says; "The work
of the past year has afforded encourage
ing results. While the admissions have
steadily increased from year to year,
there has also been proportionate in
crease of boys hOnorably discharged. At
the close of the fiscal year, ending Nov.
10, there were 465 inmates; Dec. there
were 537. With our present aecommO-
dations the maximum of admissions has
been reached. The institution could not
be further crowded without serious in
reference with it's discipline and Ell
cheney. We shall ask the Legisla
ture the coming winter for an appFoprI-
alton with which to erect building that
will accommodate about one hundred of
the smaller and less hardened boys,
which will give US classification we
have heretofore not been able to haye."

aries and wages, was for the year $79.6S;
