fehoers or GOV. Rogers administration
that the state institutions under the man.
agement Of the hoard of audit and con-
troll have been successfully and econom-
ically conducted during the past three
ana one-haR years The facts Of the
matter are, as the Post-Inteliigencer can
show by the record. that with the ex-
ception OF the soldiers home at orting,
every institution under the management
OF Gov. Rogers board OF control faces
an actual deficit from which there IL no
apparent escape; and that the fusion offi-
GERS IN charge will come before the legis-
iature next January asking for defcien-
cy appropriations aggregating At least
sSooo, in order to tide them over until
the time when the regular appropriation
made BY the legislature for the main
tenancs OF state institutions wiz be avail
able.
Instead Of being sfncientiy and econ
omicaiiy managed. The state Institutions
under the charge Of Secretary Lister and
the board OF audit and control have been
shamefully mismanaged. They have been
turned into political bucket shop for
the payment Of political debts contracted
by the governor and his reform" admin
istratson. Instead OF allowing nonparti-
san boards OF trustees to make appoint
ments on merit with the recommendation
OF those In charge OF the Institutions,
Gov. Rogers board of audit and control
headed by his main henchman and politi-
cal manager, II. ]. snixeiy. and Ernes,
