tendent of the state industrial school
for boys at Miles City, presented a
request for an appropriation of S94,V0

Superintendent Dorr declared that
the keenest need existed for the CON

for a hospital to accommodate seven
beds and an operating room, the COST
of which fully equipped would be SlO,-
900. A new industrial building to per
nit the grouping of all shops now
maintained would cost $4,000, and
$4,000 is needed, he said, to install 4
new water system. The water system
would include a tank of 100000 gallons
capacity and an S0-foot tower. II
water, as at present, would be obtain
ed from artesian wells.
