says:
The purchase of another site and
the erection OF an industrial school
for boys to take the place Of the
present Reform school will be the
recommendation Of the house com
mittee which was appointed to visit
the school, This conclusion was
reached by the members OF the COM
mittee after an investigation of the
school on account OF the barrenness
Of the surrounding soil. The present
school they would convert into a
girls industrial school.
"This plan has been endorsed by
social workers of the state, the
penitentiary board and the County
Judges association. There is little
doubt, it is said, that the Reform
school on location where the land
is tillable, could be made self-sus-
tanning.
according to the provisions OF
proposed bill, endorsed by the house
committee, $4,000 would be appro-
priated to purchase site and erect
an industrial school for boys. This
amount is $4,000 more than is need
| ed to maintain the present Reform
school for two years. The bill also
asks for an appropriation OF $1,000
! for the maintenance Of the Girls III
dustrial school for two years.

ommends the passage of this bill l;
composed of Messrs. Joiner, Dlpboye

Now, here are the facts: l originated
the idea for which the company, will
pay me. l have never applied for q
patent, none has been issued 70 me and
am surprised at your correspondent
making such statements. l nave never
spoken a word TO any one about getting
or framing a patent gu the stove nor
neither have / been offered one Cent
for the patent rights.
Your correspondent should be Very
careful in making such statements Tor

very careful who he interviews. What
is his or their object:
