assessed by the assessor, claiming
that he owned land of one class

that the assessor had raised this
land to Sl.25 per acre. The
board declined to take any action
until the advice of the district
attorney could be obtained.

sentative of the Mogollon I'm

continued for the remaining five
months of the present fiscal
year would result in the eXpendi-
lures of this institution reaching
the enormous sum of Sill, 900,
which sum is $4,000 larger than
the expenditures for 1906, S25,-
900 larger than the expenditures
for 1905 and 4l,0O0 larger than
the expenditures for 1904 and
prior years.
1t will be argued that some
bills for the year 1904 were paid
ont of the fund for 1905, some
bills for 1905 paid out of the
fund for 1905 and possibly that
some bills for 1000 were paid out
/ of the fund for the current year.
! IT may he argued that some per-
manent improvements have been
added To the institution as re-
suit of convict labor and by eX-
penditureS from the convicts'
earning fund, but my personal
knowledge of the condition OF
the institution in past years,
and its condition at the present
time, warrants me in saying
that there was nothing in the
nature of permanent improve
ments installed under the man
agement of Superintendent Trel-
ford, which in any way repre-
sents such an enormous increase
in the expenditures. The same
NAV be said with reference To
the slightly increased number OF
convicts now being confined IN
the institution, as this slight IN
crease in numbers is by no means
sufficient to account for any sucll
increase in expenditures.
These facts show clearly thai
heroic measures are absolutely
essential looking toward cur
tailment of what is evident t.
have been either gross miSman
agement or extravaganza, or pos
sibly both. in order to avoid
deficit of $4,000 or 100000 IL

institution, since 80 per cent o
this fund has been used already
