in the years to come, aud has al
ready been the means Of saving them
a great deal Of money
For the first time since II was grant
ed admission to the Union, the State
OF Ohio has adopted the basic princi-
pie OF ell-sound business enterprises
and has taken an inventory of its
property.
The State Board of Administration
finished its addition of the values re-
turned by the superintendents Of the
various penal and benevolent institu.
tions under it's care. The total showed
that the state has invested S20,276,975
In 3 such Institutions.
The inventory shows in detail how
the public money is invested, separ-
ate accounting being made of land,
buildings, furniture, live stock, cloth
ing, food, tools and other material.
From these returns the State Board
will be enabled to calculate in scien-
tifc fashion and will be enabled to
recommend appropriations from the
General Assembly in proper fashion in
stead Of the old hit-or-miss system Of
bygone days.
In the future those in charge of the
various institutions will be compelled
to account for all property described
in the inventories and in this way a
check will be kept on furniture, car
pets, clothing and movable chattels
generally, it being the intention to
check up each year, as is done in busi-
ness houses that are we'll managed.
The inventory shows that the state
owns so. 2.4S6,7 in land and SIS, ,318-
~ in buildings. Value of furniture is
estimated at $310,57S.51, estimated val
ue of machinery is $52O,S72.21, live
stock $V25,S5s.26.
Valuation of buildings and land was
made for the most part by institution
super intendents. who based their cal
culations on valuation made of sur
rounding property for purposes of tax.
alton by taxing officials. In a few cas-
es the valuations were given as the
total amount of money which the
state expended in purchase of land and
construction of buildings.
BY rule which has been put into
effect by the board of administration
of state institutions, employees of in
stituticns will not be allowed to en-
tertain guests at the institutions at
meals This reverses former rules at
practically all the institutions.
