Governor Murphy still has few APP

greatest interest hinges are the members

There are six inspectors, and the terms
of all of them expire in April, and in
view of the conditions existing at the
prison the governor will omit five of the
present board.
Itappears that there has been so much
pickering and more or less lack Of har-

this the governor is determined to wipe
as much of the old board as possible, in
the hope of getting better results.
