This grand total OF over $50. 600 might be
presumed 10 be enough to start Off this
institution-and II must not be forgotten
that every dollar was appropriated by Re
publican legislatures and a Republican
Governor approved the expenditure Of
every dollar excepting probably $4,000
But with all this enormous expenditure Il
now developes that the building is not
ready for occupancy of the incurable in
sane of the State. The poorhouses and
jails and hospitals of the State are fright
fully crowded by this unfortunate class
The report of the trustees of the Peoria
institution. recently received at headquar-
tiers in Springfield. indicates that nearly
half a million more dollars Will be required
to complete this most expensive State insti-
tuition.
ut is estimated" declares one authority
in Peoria that II will cost about sS0.GD %
carry out the incomplete Gleeson contracts.
Then there will be $1,000 more needed.
and there will also have to be provision
made for other necessities. including sew
ers, furnishings and the like. This will
take not less than sl00,000 more
The naive suggestion at the close that
"it is expected that the legislators will
deal literally with the institution there
being great need of it, seems in the light
of the facts somewhat superfluous.
There is little danger of legislative in
auiry into the extravagances OF this insti-
tuition. The Republicans will not permit
It, hut in the Appropriation committees the
subject will surely be taken up and dis
cusScd.
Their. are at least two other State insti-
tutions which need an overhauling by =
legislative committee. There Is little
chance for it, but the new administration
will be expected to inaugurate radical re-
forms In their management.
There is a quiet movement on foot IN some
quarters in the State toward reduction
of PASSENGER fares on railroads rom cen, :
a mile to cents. Nobody seems to know
or understand the source of the proposition.
hut the country papers in Eastern and
Southern Illinois have been advocating il
for "A month or more. One of the great Chi
cago newspapers editorially indorsed II Il
few days ago on the ground that the popu-
lation of the State had increased and the
revenues of the railroads would justify the
reduction.
IL is pointed out that the average fare
now according to reports Of the railroads
themselves, is only a traction over > cents
and a reduct.uI. OF the fare to HAT 2-csnt
rate would not he opposed by the railroads.
In this connection | am informed that all
the Illinois roads will give the Legislators
and politicians a book of trip passes in lieu
CT the annual cards heretofore in vogue
The Burlington and Central have been the
most liberal in the past in the matter OF
free rides. Transportation on all roads will
be good only during the session. or at most
until July l. excepting on the Illinois Cen
tral and Burlington. The Wabash and Big
Four are the tightest corporations with their
Transportation ot the big systems, and now
IL is said that the Alton will join them ard
restrict as far as possible free rides.
