year and most of which should be sold
during the approaching spring and sum
mer season. There are about 100 sleighs
on hand, which is somewhat more than
usual at this period OF the year
Weather conditions in the past winter
have made the sale of sleighs exceed
ingly difficult. These sleighs cannot be
sold until another winter, and in the
meantime will need to be re-varnished
The average price of the sleighs at
wholesale is $50. and this figure should
be obtained when they are sold.
The harness department has the usual
amount of stock on hand, which is ade-
quate for present requirements. There
are few completed harnesses. however
as all of the work of this department
is on orders, and the harnesses are sold
as fast as made, and none are carried
in stock
The paint and varnish rooms are sup
piled with Il quantity of paints, oils
varnishes. etc, fully equal to the aver
age stock on hand. and sufficient for
all requirements.
In the broom department, work was
entirely suspended, all of the men stand
ing or sitting idly at the benches No
one was employed. This condition was
due to the lack of stock with which to
complete the manufacture of brooms
which had been commenced.
In the blacksmith shop 80 prisoners
are ordinarily employed. but owing to
the lack of stock there was work for
only 10. Two-thirds of the prisoners in
this department were without employ
ment on this account. The enforced
idleness of so many prisoners neces-
sarily means a substantial loss in the
operation of the prison. Necessary sup
plies have been ordered, and as soon as
they are received, the condition in these
two departments will be improved and
remedied But it must be borne in mind
that the bills against the prison, here
after referred to, will be increased by
the amount of these purchases.
There has been no uniform system of
accounting in the prison departments
and the method of keeping the books
and accounts is inaccurate and unsuited
TO the requirements of the institution
The gross assets of the prison on
Dec. l. 1910, consisted of stock on hand
