Gentlemen: 2 All members of the
board are aware OF the fact that the
financial outlook for this institution
was decidedly gloomy during the early
part of the year, and that when the
present management was in~augurated,
on June first, prospects We're even less

may be summarized as follows: Of
the annual appropriation of $4,000
for maintenance there remained but
$1,000. to which should be added the
appropriation for maintenance deficit

as these bills were paid there was
created an apparent deficiency in the
maintenance fund Of nearly $4,000
for the remainder of the fiscal year.
But one source of revenue appeared
through which this deficiency could be
met and that was convicts earnings.
Steps were taken at once therefore to

In this connection it is Interesting
to note that while the United States

higher than ours. The United States
