| it, which he recommends.
| Nearly all of the state institutions
want large appropriations for new
| buildings which they insist they need,
but Auditor Wells refuses to include
most of them in his estimates. The
auditor generally cuts his estimates on
buildings down to the limit, but the
I legislature usually far exceeds the
estimates of the auditor.

$4,000 for additional land and $780,
900 for new cottages. Mr.. Wells cuts
out both from his estimates and allows
the same amount for maintenance and

$4,000 for an administration building,
SAT 900 for fixing up and equipping the
infirmary, and $4,000 for farm

He recommends $1,000 for equip
ommends that $50, 900 be appropriated
for maintenance for 1906 and $4,000
for 1907, a big increase over the past
two years because of the increase in
the number of inmates. For the last
two years the maintenance has cost
about $4,000 year, but the last leg
islature spent 100000 for new build
ings for. the Parsons asylum.

lowed $1,000 for new furnishings.
Warden Jewett did not ask for any
improvements at the penitentiary what
ever.
Most of the state educational insti-
tutions asked for big appropriations,
but Auditor Wells refused to include
most of them in his estimates. He was
most liberal with the state university
and the Pittsburg manual training
school.
Mr.. Wells agrees with Chancellor
Strong that the state university needs
more money for it's current expenses
and he recommends that Chancellor
complied with. He would increase the |
annual fund for maintenance and sal |
aries from s176,000 to $216,90O He also

for completing the law building, $500
for completing Fraser hall, s4,100 for |
additions to the lighting and heating |
plant, and $4,000 for equipment for Prof. /

wanted 100000 for a gymnasium and

tor Wells thought the normal can strug-
gle along without these for the pres
emit He recommends an increase of
S., 900 a year in the expense fund, and
s12, 900 for an engine and dynamo.
1t has been the general impression
that the city of Pittsburg gave one of
its school buildings to the state when
