been piled about the foundry to be
melted down and cast into the various
forms required. There are 60 tons
at the Sewer Department wharf in
the District that will be shipped to-
morrow and another so tons Of scrap
iron from the Water Department that
will be moved to Lorton this week.
The broom factory, started on a
small scale at the reformatory six
years ago, is being enlarged.
Still another small plant that was
recently started is the garment fac
tory, the principal output of which
is overalls, jumpers, shirts and under
wear. 1t is now making such supplies
for the Jail, for Gallinger Hospital,
for the Home for the Feeble Minded
at Laurel. Capt. Barnard expects
soon to put in a knitting machine, So
that socks can be made for the many
District institutions. This plant has
been handicapped by the fact that it
is short of the number of sewing ma
chimes. W.,
Right here was observed a deplor-
able condition. The temporary laun-
dry occupies a corner of the garment
factory, and the laundry facilities are
entirely Inadequate and terribly crude.
They consist of two old bathtubs used
to hold the soapy water, and several
prisoners scrubbing the oyeralls and
shirts and jumpers soiled in mechani-
cal work on rough wooden counters
with scrub brushes. Some OF the more
| fastidious and clearly inclined Of the
prisoners are allowed the privilege of
washing their own clothing, but the
big ma jority throw their soiled gar
ments into the common pile, which
are thus roughly scrubbed out.
Needs Laundry Machinery.
Capt. Barnard explains that laundry
machinery Is very expensive and that
he hopes the District Commissioners,
the Budget Bureau and Congress will
give him specific funds for this much
needed Improvement. No member of
Congress would oppose the appropri-
alton for this machinery, he says, if
he would visit the refOrmatory and
see the actual condition.
Through the windows of this laun-
dry can be noted one of the biggest
improvements that are being made at
both Lorton and Occoquan-the in
stallation of excellent new boilers in
the two central power and heating
plants. At Fort Humphreys they had
a battery of 10 large boilers. Through
Brig. Gen. II. G.. Smither, chief CO.
ordinator of the Bureau of the Budget,
Capt Barnard secured two of these
boilers, declared Army surplus. Then
he went back and got six more. Now
he has battery Of four boilers at the
reformatory and four at the work
house, which will take care of all
needs for 10j or IS years to come.
These eight boilers were dismantled
and transported and set UP entirely by
prison labor. They would have cost
about 5000 each.
