objectian to the machines. In TN 83S
districts In which q vote as to their
retenxipn has bsen taken undsr the ACT
OF 1909. a21 have voted to discontinue
their use. 1t would seem that a de-
cent regard for the wish of the voters
would cause the immediate repeal Of
the voting machine act. Few IL any
not ~pecuniarily Interested seek to re-
tain the machines. Why Is II, Ia the
face OF such universally expressed
opposition, these machines are forced
upon the people?
Insurance of State Property.
The treasurer OF the state has secur-
ed and tabulated a complete list Of
the fire insurance upon state buildings.
The total carried on all buildings Is
SIS, lat 600 at a premium OF about sT0.-
600.
I renew the recommendations made
last year that the Insurance OF all
state property be placed by he state
house commission and a lump sum APP
preparation made each year to that
commission for that purpose. A blan-
ket Insurance system Of, say, $1.000.000
or ven less Of insurance to owe all
state buildings would be abundant and
would reduce the present cost at least
three-fourths.
Management Of County Hospitals.
The state has an interest In the man
agement of the several county hos
pitfalls for the insane. During the last
fiscal year the state paid from its
treasury toward the support Of these
institutions the sum of $278,928-23.
We have no voice In their manage
ment or the expenditure Of this mon
ey. The grand jury Of Essex county,
after a thorough Investigation OF Its
county hospital for the insane, pre-
scented 1t to the court as being incom-
petently managed and have recon-
mended that the management OF the
Institution be taken from the chosen
freeholders. The conditions prevailing
In this county are probably NJ excep-
ton to the rule in other counties. Tn
der the management Of the chosen
freeholders these institutions are con-

County tuberculosis Hospitals.
There is a strong sentiment In favor
of a tuberculosis hospital In each coun-
ty In the state.

tfon is filed and many applfcants are

be much cheaper for the state to do as
II does In The case of county hospitals
