Judge Ivory G. kimball, Il member of the

clared that it had been incorrectly stated
that he was in favor of the resolution which
contemplates a transfer of control of the

said. ''All states in the Union send therr

enough money given for their maintenance
II the Board OF Trade would take IN thai

AS II II, he continued, so many boys are
sent 10 the reform school that the schoo,
authorities are compelled to turn MANY of
them out "on parole" before their TERMS

Mr.. Brown had not read letter to this eff

II know OF no such letter" Mr. Brown
said
Then ii seems that the board of trustees
apparently is not so familiar with affairs at
