On the plea made by a committee
of trustees from the industrial work
shop for the blind, State Auditor
Roady Kenehan agreed to advance 81
900 to purchase a carload of broom
corn for use in the broom manufacture
ing industry which serves as occupa-
ton for the inmates. An appropria-
ton of $4,000 was made for the car
rying of the institution through the
two years which must elapse before
another appropriation can be secured
and about $4,000 of this has been used.

make enough brooms and brushes to
cover running expenses without ask
ing further help.
