| Marker submitted a minority re
por. as follows:
| Mr. PREsIDENT.-You Commit
tee on State Prison to whom wa.
referred Bill No 42, respectfully
report that they have had the same
under consideration and recon-
mend it's passage for the following
reasons:
Under the Constitution the
Board Of State Prison Commission
ers are supposed to have, and it
was, in the opinion of your Chair
man, intended they should have
full and complete control and man
agsment Of the institution. I'm
der the present law their control is
entirely negative, and the Warden
becomes in fact, autocratic in his
mandates.
The Board can neither control
the selection or dismissal for cause
Of the subordinate attaches or en-
force any necessary change in the
discipline Of the institution; they
are merely an auditing Board de-
prived of that control of the bust |
ness at the State Prison with which !
they should be invested under the
provisions of the Constitution.
The Committee would further
suggest that the election of = War
den Of the State Prison by the
Legislature is not subservient Of
the best interests Of the State. 1t
retards and the candidacy Of the
applicants for the position
lnder the present Law very largely
Influences important legislation.
Your Committees are of the opin-
on that the Legislature should reg
late the entire charges Of this in
titution as it has Of all other State
to the constitutional
nd legal Board of Prison Commits
toner's and for these reason your
recommend the passage
f the bill.
