STATE LAW LIBRARY AND JU-
UICIARN.

Among the many other matters deserv-
Ing your immediate attention I consider
as important the matter OF the state law
library. At the present time the library
consists OF approximately 5000 volumes,
located in the Providence county court
house. The headquarters OF the library

being entirely OF wood. Should a fire
start the height of the room and the
other features about Il would make Il an
easy prey. and irreparabe damage would
certainly result. Many Of the present
volumes which are OF great value. could
not be replaced, and thus the state would
suffer both Inconvenience and expense
The space reserved for the library Is
altogether too small 20 accommodate its
present needs. It's patronage Is continu-
ally growing and the inadequate facin-
ties in the line OF Lack OF room and up-
to-date quarters have been apparent for
some time past. l. therefore. recommend
for your consideration the securing OF n

STATE INsTiTUTIONs AND AGRI-

Among the other departments demand
ing increased facilities are the state in
stitutions at Howard. AS suggested
some time since by the superintendent Of
the state hospital there is a most press
ing need for buildings which will pro-
vide separate quarters for the insane
criminals; also an administrative build
ing and quarters for the nurses and
male attendants. A new house Is also
needed for the superintendent.
Under the present Arrangement an In
mate OF the state prison who becomes i'm

The ore shipments from Boundary

showed no signs of stopping, the vaca-

feeling that they could stay no longer,
the Bostonians arose and started out.
