l have found o. K, and attach here

While it is true, gentlemen, there
has been some kicks regarding the
condition of this institution, superin-
tendent's duties, ETC., | cannot COM
prehend the attitude of the parties
thus complaining. | talked to each
inmate personally and privately, and
they tell me they have no kick to
make on the attention given them.
| do find, however, that the pump
on the premises does not supply al
amount of water adequate to meet the
demands of the institution, and recon-
mend that there be arrangements
made at this meeting for more water.
Respectfully submitted.
