WHITTIER STATE SCHOOL.
| The Committee on State Prisons and
Reformatories, Atherton Chairman, OF
fered the following report on Whittier
State School:
| We consider the management of the
| institution good.
| The trades building which accommo-
dated the departments for carpentry,
| laundry, printing. shoemaking, tailoring,
also the engine room and power house
! is in very poor condition, the jarrlng
| of the machinery having cracked the
walls in many places, rendering 1T un-
safe for it's present use. We recon-
mend a new and separate department
for the foundry and machine shops.
Other buildings are in good condition
The water system is poor ana expen-
sive. The FIVE inches owned by the
State together with the seven inches
rented from the East Whittier Land
and Water Company does not provide
the school with sufficient water for the
engines, flushing and domestic purposes
and is of poor quality on account OF the
silt held in solution We consider that
the school should own it's water supply
We are assured the State can obtain
an unlimited supply of pure water by
boring altesian wells along the San
Gabriel River about mile distant at
cost of about $1,000 and purchase
land for the same at a nominal sum.
We call your attention to the absolute
necessity of a further water supply.
