charge Of the various state institutions he
will find them in better shape than ever
before in their history, not only from a
financial standpoint but in the physical
Of the various buildings and
grounds and the coalition of the various
Inmates
The state institutions have been the es-
pecial hobby OF Governor Sheldon and he
has kept in close touch with each superin-
tendent. In addition State Accountant

regularly and made reports frequently of
the conditions existing.
Numerous changes have been made by
Governor Sheldon in the conduct of the
institutions, all for the better, so when the
new administration takes hold it will find
everything In ship-shape order.

accountant showing the condition OF the
maintenance funds of the various institu-
lions. This table shows the average ex-
penditures per month for eighteen months
and what is left of the fund 10. the re-
naming six months. Only in four insti-
tutions do the records show that the
amount on hand in the maintenance fund
to be used for six months is less than the
average for the last eighteen months. The
