control over the cOnyiCts but all the Off
GERS, guards and employees are appointed b
the state, and are state officers, under tn
absolute control Of the penitentiary board
just as they would be if the prisons wer
managed by the state. All the rules 70
| governing the Convicts are made by tn
board, and il he's authority at an,
time to amend the lease 70
cruelty or any cause whatever
The state is in no possible condition 10 r;
sumo, as it would require too large an ar
propration at this time when money
needed to build reformatory for your
eonvicts, who will not be controlled BY tn,
lessees. In the opinion of those who hay
gwen the lease a careful study, its ratihcs
ton rs the best for the state at this i'm,
and il will probably be approved. Ii is IN
derslood that Governor Ireland thinks
