Total. lO2, 900
This left deficiency for the year Of SIS
900. which the legislature had TO provide for.
There was due for grading done SIS, 000, an
| there was pressing necessity for the imme-
date construction Of laundry and bakery
at an estimated cost of 1000. II was also
the opinion Of the inspectors that I'm addi-
tional section, containing 1870 cells, should
be added Immediately. The present cell
capacity is 40, aud there are but about thirty
cells unOccupied. Asked on tnis point IS 10
the comfortable capacity of the grounds, Mr..
NOrrish gave it at between 700 and 500 In his
opinion. Mr.. De Llitre differed with him 10
this. He thought that the additional
cell capacity AS mentioned above
would about reach the capacity
of the grounds. That would give accommo-
dations for nearly 600 cOnvicis, at which, ac-
corGing TO experience in the older states, the
prison would be sef-supporting. At the
ratio Of increase Of the convict population in
the past, it would require from five to eight
years to reach this limit. 1t was the opinion
of the inspectors that this limit should be
added now.
1t was stated that $40, 600 insurance was
now being carried on the shops, aud Il was
suggested that the legislature should give an
expression as 10 whether that insurance
should be continued, increased or all cut of.
The value of the machinery was about
$50 600.
Inspector DeLaittre brought up another
matter be wished the legislature to settle
He said the state, before the lire, bought GER
tain machinery Of the car company for
$50, 600, for which the car company paid an
annual rental OF 81, 500 The value OF the
machinery burned was $4,000. the use Of
which they have been deprived of. The
question was as to the compensation to be
paid the car company. FiDallH II was de-
cided that Joint meeting OF the legislative
committees should be held in tue railroad
committee room OF the senate next Tuesday
evening, al which representative Of the in
spectors aud Of the car company be present
and az agreement arrived at, if possible
During the sitting 1t was stated If it had
not been for the Dire the annual apprJ priation
of $50, goo would have enabled the in
spectUrs to go on without asking
Tor special appropriation. as
it was thought that an extra or
special appropriation of SAC. 600 should be
made to pay the deficiency OF SIS. 600, sl5.-
600 FOR grading now due, and $1,000 for
laundry and baking, which were an imme-
dlate necessity, and bills for these amounts
will probably be introduced.
After the meeting the committees and the
ladies' generally Of the party were driven
shout the city as the guests of Senator
Castle, large numbers Of the male members
having already spent considerable time in
doing the city on foot. At 40 in the after
uoou the return trip was commenced, and
ended at the Union depot at O'Clock, all
higEiy gratjded with their ride aud what they
had seen.
