Woman's Rcformatorg.
Persons interested in the establish
mem of a State reformatory for women
filled the Senate chamber yesterday
afternoon. The attraction was a pub
lie hearing on Senate bill No. 113 be-
fore the Senate committee on appro-
%priations, consisting of Messrs. Brad
ley, Minch, Gaunt and Cornish.
This measure, which was introduced
by Mr.. Alderman at the instance of
Governor Fort, provides for the estab-
lishment of a r~eforlnatory for women,
to be governed by a board of six man
ayers, at least three of whom shall be
women. Their compensation is to be
S15 for attendance at each meeting.
Only one feature of the bin seemed
to meet with criticism at the hands of
the speakers. This concerned the pro-
posed location of the reformatory. The
I'LL selects Railway as the most de-
sirabie site for the institution, but this
preference was objected to on the
ground tina ii should not be situated
within such close proximity to the
present reformatory for males.
The apparent unanimity of opinion
this score prompted Senator Os-
borne to introduce a resolution au-
thorizlng the appointment OF a COM
lnittce of three Senators to consider
the most advantageous site for the
reforinatory" PresideIN frrelinghuysen.
who was empowered by the resolution
to make the appointment of the COM
mittee, selected Messrs. Bradley, Ack-
crman and Osborne as its members.
