Superintendent A. A. Anderson of the state prison has submitted his first report to the commission on state in- stitutions. It covers the period between his accession to office and -the end of the fiscal year June 30. As. MT. An derson took office on June 16, only fourteen days of his administration fig ure in the report.
 When he took control he found 331 prisoners of whom there appears more detailed statement; 2l5 were males; 1 female, "A on honor and 9l in road camps. The new superintend ent found the convicts restless fearing that Q change of the administration would result in a breaking up of their happy home. But in a few days they adjusted themselves to the new order of things and have since appeared fair ly cOntented.
 The chief complaint of the convicts was lack of variety in the food That grievance was met The new superin- tendent discovered a general condition of disrepair about the institution There were not enough cots and the supply of bedding was insufficient. The light. power and water systems were in bad condition and the ice plant was out of order The roofs of all the buildings were in a leaky condition. A temporary roof has been placed over the building, housing the X-ray apparatus and the dental department The report describes the amount and value of the. states property at the prison. The farm and live stock were in good condition. The report is accompanied by an inventory. The report carries with it the reports of various officials.
 The report of Secretary Redmond shows that the total expenditures of the prison for the fiscal year were $99,- 104.24 from which is to be deducted ST. 790.42. earnings and receipts. The aver age number of prisoners for the year was 325. the gross per capita cost, $30494 and the net, $2S0.96 the net daily per capita cost, .1G9. There had been general increase of the expense over the fiscal year previous, reflected in the net per capita cost as compared with .62 for the year ending June 30. 1916
