nor and Members of the

mission, the Board of Prison In
spectors and the Commissioner of
Charities and Corrections. The con-
ference was for the purpose Of in
forming Governor Fielder of the sit
uation and what is expected from
the Legislature in the matter of an
appropriation.
1t was suggested that if sufficient
funds could not be secured from the
| Legislature to abolish the contract
la Dor system by providing for the
state use system at least, the farm
and quarry should be purchased i'm
mediately to furnish work for part
of the prison inmates. The esti-
mated scost of the State farm and
quarry is about $4,000.
The prison inspectors informed the
Governor that they desired amend
ments to TIE bills introduced in the
House by the Prison Labor Commits
sion so that the inspectors would
retain full control over the prisoners,
instead of sharing it with the com
missioners. Neither the original bills
put in by the commission or the SUP
stitutes offered by the inspectors
have been reported yet by the House
committee on judiciary
