IL H. sad fact that of the FIVE hundred con

ceiyed from that date to December 81. iSS0,
(naking total of i,2i?), ga were boys.
ranging from II to u years Of age at the date
they entered tae prison.
The recommendation here is very properly
made that in view of the fact that another
prison win soon he needed by the State.
measures should be taken to 50 shape the
prison system for the future AS TO result
eventually in entirely separating the ciasses
10 which reference is made above.

The work in the coaI shaft is progre sing
satisfactorily. and it l. thought that the ulti-
mate results will more than repay the State
Tor all the outlay.
