General Grubb also shows that under
his administration there has benn
great saving to the State in other d.
rections, particularly on rations, indi-
eating that there was gross waste be-
fore. by having the men counted every
morning at breakfast and then again
at noon and evening. he found that an
average OF about forty who had break
fast did not show up for lunch or din
ner. These eighty rations a day were
eliminated.
When General Grubb was made
aware today of the fact that his report
had become public he talked freely OF

that an officer within the institution
is in large part responsible for the loss
by the State. This officers RESPONSE
bility Is not mentioned in the report,
nor would his name be given by the
general He had supervision of the
coal deliveries, 1t Is stated. One of the
things that made the delivery of short
weight easy was the. fact that the
Fairbanks scales had not been in use
for two years. Their foundations had
rotted away and they had never been
repaired.
The general used TO be manager of d
line OF 9last furnaces IN the Lepano'l
Valley near Reading, Pa, and there
got the knack of sizing UP about how
many tons of coal any certain pile con-
