Quite a number of complaints
have been made by inmates of late
in regard to not receiving The
Theatre Magazine, the Burr Nc
Intosh Monthly and other frstclass
publications. The librarian has
been putting the blame on The
Mirror Office and The Mirror Office
has been returning the compli-
ment to the librarian. It seems a
certain party has been marking off
all the numbers below his own on
these pnblicatit ms. This explana-
alton will no doubt satisfy all that
neither The Mirror office nor the
Librarians is to blame in this matter.
1t is strictly against the rules to
mutilate State publications or ex-
changes or erase or substitute
numbers. The publications sent
out from The Mirror Office are
marked with red ink and may be
held two nights-except when re-
ceived on Friday in which event
they may be retained until the
following Monday morning. Pub
locations bearing the Deputy Ward
ems notice may be retained three
nights. It is great injustice to
deprive fellow inn ates of the bene-
fit of these special publications
