Owing 10 the bad situation this year,
Mr.. Eichel has sent a copy of Mr.. Moi

Construction Put on ssPrlsoI' sec
ton Of the New CONSTITUTIONS.
Many who have read carefully section
las Of the new Constitution, relating to
public institutions and prisons. have been
surprised to find that it seems to require
the appointment of superintendent or
the State Farm, as we'll as one for the
peEitentlarE.
The sect;cn in question provides tor one
board or directors. appointed by the Gov
ernor to control the penitentiary. the
State Farm and such branch prisons as
may be necessary. and gives this board
power to appoint the superintendents
thereof. Reference is made throughout
the section to superintendent.
Under the present. law the superiHtend-
EFT OF the penitentiary acts as superintend-
ent Of the State Farm also, but the con-
struction put upon the section by those
who have looked into the matter is that
there shall be a superintendent for each
institution with separate authority.
