SAVING MADE AT
INSANE ASYLUM
Trustees Of Blackfoot Insti
tuition Plan Erection of
New Building.

Through economy practiced during
the first year OF the 1915-16 biennium
and the two months of the second year,
the trustees OF the insane asylum at
Blackfoot have been able to save
$4,000 over the expenditures OF the
FIRST year during the corresponding
biennial period and can proceed with
the erection of an administration
building so that roo min the present
asylum buildings for the inmates, can
be provided for 20 additional patients.
This administration building will be
copied after the reclamation building In
/ this city and will cost from $4,000 to
$4,000. The trustees of the asylum
Twill be In Boise Monday for the pur-
pose of inspecting the reclamation
! structure and securing the necessary
data for the administration building
of the asylum 1t is proposed to erect.
It is very probable that no other state
institution or department has better
economical showing than the trustees
m2f The Blackfoot asylum, and that no
milar showing has heen made in
IRIS by them. The last legislature
propr!ated 100000 to carry the
aekfoot asylum through the bicn-
&lai period of t916-16 The previous
@egisiature appropriated ss9,350 for the
bicnniai period of 1913-1E
Tho beard of trustees which took
charge Of the Blackfoot asylum for the
present tiennium practiced economy in
all departments but did rot injure the
/ efficiency of the institution. They had
I TO care for 40 more inmates than the
9 trustees 81 the previous administration
/ had on their hands. Regardless os this
/ fact ana the additional facts that some
improvements had to be made. $4,000
lad 70 &c raid OF as Inherited from the
previous board and other expenses had
to be met, a saving of $4,000 was
made.
II is this money that tn board pro-
poses t. use this year for the erection
Of d handsome administration build
ing for the institution. When it is
ready for occupancy and the present
9 administration wing is vacated suff-
cient room win be provided to take
care Of many more inmates Insofar
possible the new edifce will be
duplicated from the reclamation build
ing here which is considered very ser
viceable as well as sufficiently attrac-
tive from an architectural standpoint
for administration purposes.

minister OF war in succession to Cen
eral Gallieni was recently announced,

this post from 1910 to 1912, at a time
when the military Importance Of avia-
ton was beginning to be fully realized.

ization built up by General Roques.
