Commitments 10 the House Of cOneetio

commitments " tht ttoeeo VI SSAsesN~4
There are fewer prisonersin the house
Of correction now than there have been
for eeveral years. Tuesday the low
record mark OF III was reached. The
lowest previous mark in Eve years was
1926. September 30. 1902. Thes figures
include Rutland county jail prisoners.
The largest number OF prisoners at
the institution any day IN i've years was
237. This high mark was reached 0cto-
her "a, 1908, December 2, 1905, and
January 20, 1905. As there are only l4o
cells in the prison II Is easy TO see that
with PSI prisoners confined in the insti-
tuition II was badly overcrowded. AT
times there have been as many as IS
cells with two prisoners in each, while
the rest Of the prisoners slept in one
large room.
The law passed BY the last legisla.
ture. providing for the commitment OF

which the offense was committed. has
worked exceptionally well in relieving
the ovcrcrowded condition az the house
Of correction which prevailed at the in
stitution during large part Of the years
1905 and 1900.
Some Of the police officers and depu-
" sheriffs about the state are much dis.
satisfied with the new law, as It depsives
them Of a good deal OF easy money
which they used to get in fees and mile

institution.
II is said that even now, In some
towns, it is the practice, when q drunk
is arrested, to arraign him on charge
of breach Of the peace and give him q
