EATON WANTS STATE FARM
FOR WOMEN INVESTIGATED

Robert o. Eaton, house chairman of
the legislative committee on appro-
priations whihc last week visited state
institutions in New London county, in
GLIDING the farm for women in East
Lyme, said Monday at Hartford that
he hoped the resolution which was
before the general assembly asking
for an investigation of conditions eX-
listing a. the farm would pass.
There is opposition to the inyesu-
cation and there is strong lobby at
work to prevent the passage of the
resolution said Mr.. Eaton.
How did you find the farm for
women when you visited it?" he was
asked.
4 have nothing to say in criticism
of the woman and her associates who
are in charge of the management of
the institution" he replied, but l say
that it should be in charge of man
and his wife and it should not cost
the state S2S, week for each of the
fifty-five or ffty-eight inmates
Many of these women are well along
in years and their place is not in a
reformatory institution. l am strong
ly in favor of work by the state which
has for its purpose the reformation OF
young women who may be inclined to
vice, but surely that work can be
done at a less expense than $2S a week
| for each inmate. They should not be
| admitted under Is nor over rs years
