Representative Marvin has intro.
dnced bill to establish a central
colony for the purpose of segregatinR
the inmates Of all State institutions

tract Of say 1000 acres centrally Il.

work 30 as to reduce the large sum
now necessary for their support.
This seems practical and with the
State Institutions all in close prox-
unity it is possible they might be
more readily supervised. There
are many confined in them who are
able TO work and whose conditions
would no doubt be improved were

dnets raised ON the farm, If judiciou
management was given, might 90
