cation Of the reformatory on the tract
at OccoQuan. Va. where the District
workhouse is situated, Is out OF the ques-

the bill providing for the establishment
OF the reformatory distinctly states that
the workhouse and the reformatory shall
be erected on separate sites.
IF the bill before the Virginia legis-
lature is enacted. the Commissioners
will be compelled to search In Mary

the bill providing for its establishment
states that the Institution must be sit

The question of selecting site for the
institution, however, Is being given
but little thought at the present time

that IL would not enJoin county clerks
