Seek New RefOrnatory. Buildings
Stating that the trustees of the
State reformatory for men at South
Windham had voted to ask for 81
800 for the foundation work for two
new buildings there might be taken
care of. Rev. John NJ. Arters of
Portland, member of the. board of
trustees, spoke to the Governor and
Council of the great need OF an ad-
miniStration and dormitory build
ing and an industrial building at the
institution. He thought that the
minimum that these two buildings
could be constructed for was $780,
O00, but that by the use OF inmate
labor this cost could be reduced 40
per cent.
Rev. Mr.. Arters also presented the
report of experts to the effect that
there was good clay on the land
nearby in sufficient quantity to make
54.O0000O bricks. and that there was
also a sand deposit nearby to furnish
that material for that number of
bricks. He emphasized the point
that if the brickyard could be equip
ped it would solve the labor prob
lem at the institution.
Austin II. Mccormick of Bruins
wick, member Of the board of trus-
tees. laid stress on the point that
while there are few inmates at the
institution at the present time. that
the reformatory would be able to
take many of the prisoners now in
jaiIs and train them for trades IL
the new buildings were authorized.
He declared that few people believe
in the continuance Of the county
;ails as they are now run and that
the state should build for the future
and not for the present.
