BOARD WANTS MORE MON
Report to BE Submitted to Next Leg
islature Being Prepared.

Des Moines, Oct. 22.-Chairmar
Robinson, of the State Board Of Con
troll, is preparing the biennial repor,
Of the board. The board will ash
the state legislature to increase the
per capita appropriation for inmates
of the various state institutions
There is a wide difference among
the institutions as to the amount OF
per capita appropriations they get
from the legislature. For instance
the per capita appropriation for the
tuberculosis sanitarium at Oakdale Is
$50 while for the prison at Ft. Madi
son it is but SO. For the blind school
at Vinton and the deaf school at Coun.
Gil Bluffs the present per capita ap-
preparation Is $22. For the insane
hospitals the appropriation is $12,
while for the feeble minded at Glen.
wood it is SIG. If the plans of the
State Board of Control are carried
out all these appropriations will be
materially enlarged. The cost of liv.
ing and general expense incident to
the management of the state institu.
tons is largely responsible for the
demand for increased appropriations
for these institutions. Were it not
for the excellence of the state farms
1T would be impossible to give the in.
mates decent living and care on tho
present per capita appropriation.
