ton. The communication shows a
decrease in the number Of prisoners
and a decrease in the cost per capita /
of the inmates. The report follows:

Ter 30, 1912. over that ending Septem-
Der 80. 1911 is $IS.466.21 attention is
called 10 the decreased cost per cap
ita for the six months ending Septem-
Der 80, 1912. over the six months emf
ing September 80, 1911. notwithstand-
ing the fact that the daily average 1T
tendance during the last named per
ud was substantially more than the
othdr period ending September so,
1912. There was an ap 1oNrmate Git-
ference Of about 90 men per DAY in
favor OF period ending September 80,
.l9il. II is therefore evident, that hal
the attendance remained equal
throughout the comparative terms, the
net decrease would have been still
greater, and this notwithstanding the
fact that the provision allowance has
been increased from 1909 cents to
1907 cents. nearly twenty-five per
cent increase.
In this connection , wish 10 call
attention TO the fact. as shown above,
that. during the period ending Septem-
Der, 80, 1911, there was received from
the Federal government S7.242O0 for
the maintenance Of United States
prisoners. while during the period
ending September 80, 1912, receipts
from the Federal government amount
ed to only S36T.50. The Federal gov
eminent discontinued sending prison
ers here during the summer OF 1911,
removing most OF those already con
fined here, during January 1912. There
was only one Federal prisoner con-
| fined in the prison on September, so,
| 1912. he being detained on account Of
| being a sufferer from tuberculosis in
an advanced stage.
The improved health condition OF
/ the prison, as shown by the above
3 statement is due largely 20 better
, food furnished by reason Of the in
creased per capita provision allow
| ance as Indicated, and the careful ST
tention given the inmates by the pTi-
son physician. The increased hber-
! ties BY which the men get plenty OF
! sunshine and fresh air may be cen,
| sidered a factor in these improved
| conditions.

Tempe bridge.
The Tempe bridge is being rapidly
pushed TO completion and with no bad
luck will probably be finished some
time in January 1913. The road cam

have computed about 1 miles OF

about S miles OF the old road, whic.
