Governor West, who announced that he
did not Intend to appoint a aucessor,
not now, at least The governor stated
his reason for this action was because
James did not take- kindly to the prop-J
osltton of accepting a leave of absence
without pay, for the balance of this
year.
"Since Mr. James took this attitude
I thought the easiest way put would be
to discontinue his services entirely.
said the governor. "I am figuring out
other changes at the penitentiary which
will make a further saving." He said
these changes would affect ether em
cloves at the Institution.
"Some of these changes ought to have
been made before this, regardless 'of
the amount of money the Institution
has for maintenance," the governor
stated. "There is no, excuse for having
more men than are- neeaea to cary- on
the work In a business like manner.
From this statement lt4s inferred.-that
the next move will be removal of other
employes, until the payroll Is pruned
so that, with economy in-other depart
ments. the penitentiary will be able to
overcome the -threatened deficiency in
