Some Inmates Cost 1890
Each q Year.
NEW BUILDINGS WANTED

ALBANY, Nov. 3s.--wiiiiam A. NAL
lery. Jr.. State Fiscal Supervisor. esti'
mates that S~6.S5o.ssS will be needed To-
the twenty charitable institutions under
his Jurisdiction for tho next fiscal year
an increase Of ess6.0o0 over the tots
appropriated for the present hscal year
| The amount allowed by Gov. Whitman
and the Legislature for this year wal
Si.564.47l.
The proposed Increase lies entirely II
requests for construction and repair
work, which Supervisor Mallery esti
mates at S2.59O,630 for the coming year
as against $4,000 approved BY thu
Governor last May. The Governor
budget conference undoubtedly will en-
deavor to keep down this appropriation
to last years amount or t~hereabout.
Reappropriations for State institutions
amounted to $1,051,0 900. and the def.
cheney and supply bills call for $4,000
more. Unless It is found absolutel,
necessary II Ia the intention not TO In
crease the 1916 allowance for construc'
ton and repair work beyond the amount
appropriated.
Supervisor Mallery received total re
quests for construction and repair work
amounting to S4.503.720. The Super
visor has cut the total down to 81
$4,000. Some of the requests are a ID
mittediy justified because Of h CON
stantly increasing number OF inmates
to be cared for In several Of the insti.
buttons. but II il believed that much OF
the proposed construction work is no,
essential at this time.
Among the larger items recommended
by MIR. Mallery Is one OF $54S.000 for
construction work at the Eastern New
York Reformatory at Napanoch. This
institution has an annual appropriation
Of about $4,000, and each OF Its 4b0
inmates costs the state $257 a year for
maintenance. 1t Is desired to build there
a new cell block and administrator
building to cost $500. 200.
The State Custodial Asylum for
Feeble Minded Women at Newark wants
$3.50, 900 for maintenance for 1861
and 1871 900 for col struction, the prin-
cipal item being $4,000 for new build.
ings to accommodate 400 more inmates
The present $50 inmates cost the State
about $3.50 each a year. The State u
todial Asylum at Rome, where 1900
mentally deficient boys n girls are
maintained at Al average cost OF $149
a year. wants 1856 900 to construct new
dormitories and school buildings.
1.etchworth Village at Thislls, where
800 feeble minded and epileptic inmates
cost the State 3492 a yea each, wants
new cottages. an assembly hail and
other buildings at a total cost OF $780,
100. Other large requests for construc-
ton are Elmira R~eformatory. Sl6s. 900
Yorktown Heights Training School for
Boys. <4.000; Craig Colony for Epi-
leptics. Sonyea. 3199,500.
The cost Of maintaining the inmates
In some Of the institutions runs IA high
as $3.50 each 4 year. but It Is believed
that means will be found to reduce this
apparently high cost.

SAYS CANAL Is BUT HALF DONE.
Pref. Miller Asserts Work Will
Still Require Several Years.

Those persons who believed the Pana-
ma Canal had been completed will b
shocked TO learn from Prof. Benjamin

chair of geology at Lehigh University
that the work is not much more thar
half done. Prof. Miller. h returned

Before the canal can be said to be
completed and permanently opened 10
traffic the amount of material that mus,
he taken out does not fall far short
OF the amount already taken from the
Culebra cut.
Transportation companies intending
to use the canal should realize that they
must not expect Uninterrupted service fof
several years. During the dry season
The n may be open. but II is certain
TO be closed during the rainy season
when the earth is oak with water
and its movement toward tho canal "a
cilitated.
when one speaks OF the slides he is
likely to consider them as due to the
steep slopes Of the canal banks and con-
clude that they can be checked by de-
creasing the slopes. But the earth from
tho higher points does not go into the
canal directly. Instead. when tho loose
material is filled with water, as 1t is
during the rainy season great blocks
from the higher sections adjacent to the
canal settle down almost vertically and
force the underlying material n the
cut by q lateral pressure. Tho amount
Of material now moving toward the
cut Ia immense"
