THE ELECTRIC PLANT.

John P. Irving was a large, fine looking fellow who found himself in
 the penitentiary at Yuma because he believed it easier to do wrong than to struggle along trying ito make an hon est living by working. He was a swindler and was paying the penalty for one of his nefarious acts. Gov ernor Hughes, recognizing something available in him-they do say that one pervert can always recognize another, even in the dark-paroled him and finally pardoned him and gave him a position at the insane asylum. Now Irving had put in an electric plant at the penitentiary, purchasing from J. Holt Gates all the appliances, and it cost over 5000. Why not put in an- other at the insane asylum? The board of control had meeting at the asylum-not in the office of the su- perintendent, but across the hall in the reception room with the doors care fully closed, only the board and ex- Convict Irving present-and there and then Irving was given power of at- torney to dicker some more with his friend, J. Holt Gates. And the cleo

permanency can be had by tying those porches to that hollow wall
 eve say that if the porches are put up again as before they will either blow or fall down. And we say that the wall will come away with them y
 Referring to the asylum sewer then under discussion, The Gazette of July 28 said:
 "Will we be permitted to know any thing about the sewer business at the asylum? We understand that all bids were rejected yesterday by the board of control.'
 From the time of the above publica- tions not one word has been printed relating to the subjects referred to and up to date taxpayers of the territory have been permitted to guess at what has been done, the cost of the doing, and the worth of it all. It is doubtful if, outside of a few interested officials, a single person has definite knowledge as to these questions.

A WORTHLESS TANK.

Well, if the sewage wouldn't go to the farm of it's own accord, and if it could not be made to travel up hill so as to get there, it must be assisted, and so the board of control entered into de- tails regarding tank, pump, etc., and at great expense these assistants were given to the sewer. As further evil dence of the incompetency and inef ficiency of the late managers of the charitable and penal institutions, at tention is called to the following re- port made by Architect McGinnis:
 To the Hon. Board of Control, Terri
 tory of Arizona:
 Gentlemen - Pursuant to instruc- tions, l have made an examination of the tank at the insane asylum, and af- ter a close and thorough inspection, am prepared to offer the following re- port, to-wit:
 The tank has a capacity of 30,000 gallons, giving a weight of 249, 9,6O0 pounds to be supported. I find that the tank in its present conditions can not meet the requirements it was de- signed and erected for, but it will be- come more and more damaged if al
 
 tion. The frame would be inadequate for tank one-half the size of the one now in use. The joists resting on the framing below and carrying the weight of the tank have been forced down by the weight to a distance of three fourths of an inch, and ten of them are broken and damaged otherwise to such an extent that they are worthless. The one small girder of beam through the center, carrying the greater portion of the load, is supported by one post, 8xS inches in the center, and reinforced on the sides by ten small pieces 4x6. All of these timbers or posts are crushed into the girder and some of them are forced out or bent out by the weight on them, at least eighteen inches; con sequently no value as supports for the load intended to be carried. Said frame work has settled in the center at least two and one-half or three inches; this settling would naturally cause the floor or bottom of the tank to sag in the center, and by any such sagging or warping, the edges would be drawn down out of the groove at the chime or bottom, thereby causing leakage, which it is now doing to a very great extent.
 | Besides the weakness caused by the smallness of the timbers and the quan- titles used the foundations or footings are entirely inadequate for tank one half the size. As far as could be seen the whole thing rests on the 8x8 inch sills and they rest directly on the ground. As the ground is always sup posed to be wet under tank none of the important timbers should be al- lowed to rest on the wet earth, but should be raised at least one foot above the ground on masonry.

THE SEWER.

The board of control became imbued with the thought that nice truck gar den was necessary to add to the com fort of the patients at the insane asy- lum, and incidentally to cultivate this garden from the sewage of the asylum. Mir Mulford owned ten acres some two miles from the asylum. He only asked S3S0 for the ten acres MT J. A. Kurtz, by warrant No. 21 was paid s63O for this same land, and there never has been an explanation regarding the diff ference. At any rate, the territory became possessed of the property and then began the task of putting in a sewer to conduct the asylum refuse to the valuable truck garden two miles away. First H. R. Patrick surveyed the line. His charge for this was the modest sum of $1S.50 One might think this an indication of the expense attending the balance of the work
 But read and see. Messrs. Lowell & .Horner knew how to do sewer busi- ness, so they were employed. War rants show that these gentlemen pulled down the sum of $909.10 just for su- perintending. The asylum patients did most of the excavation and filling work. They were all charity patients and they all loved to work on the farm. During the time they worked on the sewer the farm suffered to that extent and to that extent the product of the farm suffered, and the produce bills of the asylum were to that extent in creased and charged against the asy- lum fund. To compensate these char ity patients the board of control al lowed them a certain amount each per diem. This amount is represented in warrants Nos. 67, 104, 126 and IA, ag- gregating s1,451. .1O-paid to insane charity patients, Was it paid to each unfortunate individually for his own use and purpose and upon his own re- ceipt, or did the angel who always guards the helpless and weak receive, receipt, care for and save these earn ings of the looney capitalists?
 The freight charges on the sewer pipe amounted to nearly S3,50O, while the pipe cost about $2,5O0, not counting S11S.65 spent by one member of the board of control going to and coming from California where the deal for pipe and arrangements for freight charges were made Not counting small items, the cost of that sewer to the territory stands out boldly at near ly S12,000. And it is failure in every way. The outlet on the ten acre farm is five feet below the surface, but in- asmuch as the refuse refuses to travel this far, and never reaches the farm
 the fact that it is five feet lower than it should be is a small matter. The refuse, such little quantity as man

The air is ful. of talk aud criticism, and doubt and suspicion have for some time been in the minds of many citi- zens to such a degree as to find ex- pression of no uncertain nature regard ing the expenditure of large sums by territorial officials, during the past year and regarding agreements and contracts whereby important special privileges have been granted to pri- Vate individuals and corporations, through and by which other large sums are to be taken from the territorial treasury without consideration there for, and in connection with schemes detrimental to the best interests of the territory.
 These expressions have been made again and again, and they have per sisted in demanding attention until The Republican has determined upon an Investigation into some of the ex- penditures, some of the agreements, some of the contracts and some of the acts of the officials under the regime of the late governor.

trical dynamo came, likewise the switchboard, together with all the other appurtenances, all in the name of J. P. Irving. And about the time he had the machinery partly in place MT. Irving drew a large sum of some body's money and quietly, without mo- tice, left for the east. That he cut wide swath at Las Vegas hot springs, got himself into jail there as swim dler, and telegraphed back to his friends of the board of control of Ar izona for financial help, has nothing to do with the fact that the electrical plant at the asylum is failure and that it cost the territory about S3,0O0 between June, 1895, and January, 1896, and that the expense is still going on. From MT. Ellicut, the electrician now in charge of the plant, The Republican is informed that good machine, with all the appliances for lighting and power to run fans, can be set down in
 Phoenix for $500 That such a ma chine can be run with one-fourth the fuel now required, and that there would not be the slightest trouble about hay ing both power and light both day and
 night The present machine eats up
 one-quarter cord of wood to run three hours and the machine cannot be run
 a longer time for the reason that the field is overbalanced by the armature, and if run over three hours both be- come heated As ~s result the asylum is provided with light only from dark
 until 930 o'clock, after which time the entire house is in darkness excepting for such light as may glimmer from the lantern of the nightwatchman To
 be prepared for emergency calls at night Dr. Hamblin now takes matches
 and a bulls eye to his cot nightly. And the electricity service demands an electrician and fuel at a cost greater l than the cost of the service furnished | the asylum by the Phoenix Light and
 Power company and it will not run a 1 fan.

THE ASYLUM TORCHES.

First look at the asylum porches They cost, as nearly as can be figured, $4,500. It will be remembered that when about completed a high wind visited the asylum and carried away most of the porch work and in conse- quence of the fact that the porches were anchored by means of a few small wires to the hollow part of the hollow walls, the damage to the latter cost in the neighborhood of $500 for repair At that time it was said that "the ter ritory would lose nothing" It is dis covered, however, that Mr. L. A. Am irault received in warrants nearly $900, about twice the amount called for in his contract, and the people are justi- fled in believing that the territory lost something.
 The painting of the porches was done under contract. Warrants were issued for s639.55. The lumber for these porches was paid for by warrants aggregating $2,700.
 Today there is no sign of paint on the floors of either porch and the all legged paint on the columns and rails. what is left of it, is sizzled, frizzled and dried up. Give it slight pressure with your finger and it turns to snuff S63955 for snuff. The ceilings of the porches-most ridiculously unneces- sary-are warped out of place in such manner as to advertise the amateur character of their origin. The rails are simply fastened, as an eminent architect suggested, by toe-nails. Many of them are loose and warped away from the supports and many of the latter are warped and twisted out of place from one to three inches. The columns in front of the main entrance are in this condition. None but the most trusty patients are permitted to go out on the porches at all, and these are at all times cautioned not to lean against the rails, and to keep close to the building. The porches are not and cannot, be used at all for the pur- pose for which erected, therefore they are not only failure, but menace 1 $4,500 for this.
 The front stoop was put up by con- 1 tract at a cost of about s200. The specifications called for a brick foun- dation. The steps rest on the ground and the lumber work was made to fit
 the latter unleveled.

WARNED IN TIME.

IL is am old saying that 1t is no time bo lock the stable after the theft of the horse, but it cannot be denied that this paper made honest effort about one year ago to bring about an eXami nation of the 8astenings and strongly advocated the adoption of combination and time-lockS In the issue of July 31. 1895, appeared the following:
 we warn t1le people of Arizona that their affairs seem to be in the care of band of officials who dare not face the sunlight of criticism, whose ac- tions are dark and hidden and whose purposes they alone can tell; we warn the people to demand in time full report up to date of the doings of these men, and to demand further that each and every contract, purchase and other act shall be done openly, and the pub lie newspapers furnished freely with all details pertaining to the same"
 The Republican does not pretend to assert that a't that time it stood alone in the advocacy Of open dealing and in the effort to protect the rights of the people The Gazette, for several weeks stirred the suh;eet to the depths and, under it's then management, dealt such Cinging blows that either the officials must go down pr the paper be bought up. line paper was bought up. In the light of present investigation it is in teresting to read the following extracts from the editorial columns of The Ga zette during last July:
 '.The last legislature gave to this ethe insane) asylum an appropriation of about $2S,000 to be expended for re- pairs and improvements and there was no restriction upon the amount to be expended as to any one improvement The law simply provided an order of priority"
 And the people demand to know how this money is expended. They demand to know the character of the Improvements They have the right to criticise and to praise or condemn the work of the servants"
 The Gazette unhesitatingly asserts and IS ready t0 prove that the porches recently put up at the asylum could not be used for any purpose whatever by the inmates without risk of life or limb. The Gazette now states, and without reserve of any kind, that if the same character of porch is put up there again @ guilty knowledge of fraud will be chargeabie to those who author ize and permit it"
 And right here we warn the superin- tendent of that asylum that he will share In the responsibility and general .eXeeration should any of his patients ever incur injury through or by means of such 'snide' porches. If they are refnstated or reconstructed it is his duty to warn all sane persons from stepping out upon them and to prevent his insane charges from so doing"
 ''The best plan and the only win ming plan in dealing with the people is the honest, open, and above board plan Keep nothing in the dark. Turn the light on. Beware the wrath to come"
 Referring to the defense made by The Herald when the asylum porches were blown away, and The Herald in sisted that the loss would not fall up on the territory, The Gazette said:
 'aThe territory will lose nothing: All right. We shall watch the matter and see how near correctness tha statement will prove to be-
 eve say that neither strength nol

ages to get away from the immediate vicinity of the asylum building, dis tributes itself here and there along the line of survey, where, at many points, it may be seen bubbling itself to the surface, there to remain, turn green and assort its microbes, bacilli and animalculae, to be ready for each and every wind that blows towards the peo- pie who foot the bills.
