we feel that there IL q measure Of just
complaint, not as TO the management,
bat on account Of the fact that the
buildings and accommodations are en-
tirely inadequate and unsuited In
their original construction for
the purpose to which they are
applied and the requirements
Of their present crowded condl-
tion, and on account OF the lack Of facll-
tiles for pure and wholesome water
supply. your committee, therefore feels
that Il cannot too strongly urge upon
the legislature that provision be made
and immediate steps taken 10 provide
ah adequate supply OF pure water for
culinary and domestic purposes, by con-
hecting with the Ogden Waterworks
system At present the inmates Of the
school seem to be an well and hearty,
bat the typhoid epidemic OF the past
season. resulting no doubt. from an IN
fetted water supply, is forclble warn
ink OF the dangers from the present
source. The enlargement OF the pres
ent sewer system is also pressing
necessity at the present time,
SiXlh-Your committee desires to call
attention TO the fact that at the last
preceding session OF the Legislature, the
school then contained less than 30 in
'fdates while at the present time there
are II actually in confinement and about
100 on parole, all or any of whom are
subject 70 return and confinement at
any time. We therefore wish TO say as
forclbly and emphatioally as possible,
that the buildings, equipment and NUM-
Der Of employees are altogether made
quate 10 the needs and requirements OF
the institution, and we submit that u
new main building, sufficient and ade-
Quate TO the growing needs Of the
school should be Immediately provided,
the same to be OF a capacity and design
TO permit Of a separation ofjthe younger
members, from those older IN years and
crime, and 10 further permit of a sys-
tenn OF grading, classification and pro-
motion In the event that the financial
condition 70 the state win not permit Of
the erectiodn Of such a building, then
We recommend that the girls cottage
should be built as requested by the
board of trustees, and that their sup
Elemental requests for funds for library,
etc, be favorably considered.
SEVENTEEN conclusion.y your committee
desires TO express its appreciation Of
the kindly and courteous manner in
which 1t was treated by the board Of
trustees and other officials Of the school,
and the entire freedom with which the
school was placed in its hands for In

Caused a Fire and Excitement at Lyn'
berg Grocery Store.

What promised TO be a very interest
ing blaze occurred at 1925 o'clock last
night at Fred Lynberg's grocery store,
1872 state street. only the prompt and
efficient work Of the fremen from sta
ton No. saved the place from COM
plete destruction. The cause Of the
fire is not known, but Il is believed 1t
was the result of leaving a lighted can
die near tank containing gasoline.
The gasoline exploded causing the
building to shake and breaking all the
windows in the place. Some one ran to
the fire department headquarters and
gave the alarm, and the work Of ex-
tinguishing the blaze was soon under
way. Ii was not necessary TO use a
steamer or stream Of water as the
chemical was sufficient The loss Is
estimated at about $3.50 on the building
and 500 on contents, both being COW
cred by insurance.
