The mirror., 1922-08-03

on August 2, 1921 was 808. Today
august 1st) it is 900. The largest num-
Der of inmates during the twelve months
just past was 924 and the lowest 1913.
Total number of inmates received during
the year 398. Total number discharged or
paroled 3O6. Increase in population 90.
We sincerely hope that at the expiration
of THE MIRRORS thirty-sixth year we shall
be able to quote decided decrease in our
population. The silent city is one city in
which we could point with particular
pride to decrease rather than an increase
in population.
During the year the grim reaper in
vaded the ranks of our officials and took
DR.. Pierre A. Hilbert, member of the
Board of Control and VIM. Gallagher one
of the old time guards.
Our present Warden, Mr.. ]. J. Sullivan,
was first mentioned in connection with
this institution in our issue of September 9,
1906 and as an official on March IS, 1909.
Two employees who were connected with
the institution when the first issue of THE
MIRROR appeared are still on the job and
attending to their duties regularly. They
are Capt. T. w. Alexander and Capt. o.
B. Johnson. We trust that these "two
grand old men" will be on the job for
many years to come.
