1t is announced with good deal Of
pride that our State administration is
already saving large sums of money in
the management of our public institu-

shall take pleasure in giving our friends
the Republicans due credit for all the
good they do. But the returns are not
all in yet.
THE above item appeared in the
REGISTER last week. The returns are
coming in, and among the items we
notice that the board of directors of
the Spencer Insane Asylum have just
made bargain for fuel gas for term
of four years at the price of 5000 a
year. At the Weston Asylum, which
is fully FIVE times as extensive as the
Spencer Asylum, gas is supplied
for the same purpose at 50, $50 a year.
That dossn' sound like economy.
