COLLINS GIVES SOHMER LIE
Replies to Controllers State
ment on Prison Affairs.

Troy. y Y MAY S-Corneius Y. Collins.
former State Superintendent Of Prisons, re-
piled today 10 the statement given out
yesterday by State Controller Sohmcr. in
which the latter said that the state has
suffered severe financial loss through the
irregular award Of contracts for coal and
-four and through the fact that deliveries
have been made Of articles cheaper than,
or inferior to- the contract specifications.
Mr.. Collins said
The Controller Is really attacking himself.
IF the state has suffered through improper
supplies II IL the Controllers department
that IS responsible for seeing that these
supplies agree with the invoices and 10 see
that the state receives what IL orders ana
pays for.
The inconEruity is apparent when the
Controller says there has been low per
capita cost Of maintenance and nigh cost
OF operating the industrial department.
Tho high cost Of operation would not pro
duce low cost Of maintenance.
Mr.. Collins denied that tho industrial de-
partment has been burdened with the cost
Of articles properly chargeable to mainten-
ance and says tho Controller brings no
specifications 70 prove the charge. lie
adds:
Never have I approved purchases that !
