THE BUREAU OF STATISTICS.

The eighth report of the bureau Of sta
tistics OF the state OF Utah is by far the
most pretentious compilation OF facts
and data relating TO agricultural manu-
featuring. mining and financial condi-
tlons OF the state that has ever been SUBJ
mitted TO the Legislature. The perussl OF
this document will emphasize the neces-
sity OF the withdraTa OF the department
as an adjunct of tho state auditors Of
fice- and it's establishment as an lnde-
pendent department of state. In view OF
the limited appropriation for the gath-
ering OF the facts contained in this re-.
port, a remarkable showing has been
made. To one connected with any OF
the departments of state. the necessity
for concise. accurate data lis daily made

STATE PRISON.

Upon your desks you will find the

Tor the years 1909 and 1910. The report
is comprehensive, covering the financial

tuition in minute detail. The prison is

Self Support the Aim.
1t is the desire OF the prison board,
the warden and the governor to place
this institution more nearly on a self
supporting basis and much inquiry and
attention has been devoted TO this mat
ter during the past two years. AS a
means to this end, the board Is asking
for an appropriation to cover the cost
of fruit trees which il is designed to cul-
tivate on the high land OF the prison
reservation.
An appropriation for a sewerage sys-
tenn is also asked. The rapid growth of
population and the many new homes be-
Ing built in the immediate vicinity Of the
prison demand that the open air trench
utilized at present in the disposal OF the
sewerage be dispensed with. and IL is
therefore incumbent upon the state to
make early provision for the satisfactory
disposal OF the sewerage.
The needs OF the institution have been
carefully estimated for the coming bien-
nial period, and | recommend aprFopria-
tions TO the state prison as follows:

UTAH SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF
AND THE BLIND.

The report Of the superintendent and
board OF trustees OF the State School for
the Deaf and the Blind for the years
1909 and 1910 indicates n substantial in
crease In attendance. progress and al
vancemcnt In all departments of the in
stitutions, with marked Improvement in
the character Of the educational work be-
Ing conducted.
Hotel enrolment for the school year
1903 and 1910 was 1o7. OF whom 81 were
deaf and 23 blind. The present enroll
vestigaton by the superintendent of the
institution as to the present employment
OF graduates of the school for the deaf
reveals the fact that a large percentage
OF the male graduates are farmers. The
board lis therefore asking for appro-
priation OF $4,000 for barn and livestock.
Aside from the practical experience stu
dents will gain In the handling and care
OF livestock the advantages accruing TO
the school through the possession OF its
own dairy herd arc obvious. An option
has been secured on 1870 acres of land
adjoining the institution grounds. The
price OF this land, with the necessary
fencing. is s7750. / am strongly in favor
of adding to the acreage holdings Of state
institutions. but the character of the
land It's fertility and accompanying wa
ter rights should be the prime consider
ations governing It's acquisition. The
need Of improved hospital facilities Is
apparent, and $1,000 is asked for the
building and furnishing OF a cottage hos
pital.
In this connection I cannot too strongly
urge the necessity of the adoption OF
quarantine regulations in state institu-
tions. against localities OF the state in
which contagious diseases are prevalent.
This rule has been applied with success
at the state prison and the mental hos
pital, and il should be rlgidly followed
In the other institutions of the state,
especially those caring for children. II
is the intention OF tho board, II this ap-
preparation Is granted. 10 convert the
present hospital quarters into a domestic
science room for the girls department in
which accommodations are an urgent
necessity.
Increased salaries afforded in sur
rounding states has lost TO the institu-
tions some OF its best teachers and il is
the hope OF the board that these valua BILE
assistants may be returned TO the insti-
tuition
