000 for the prison maintenance and j
Sls.oOO for the prison flax plant, a
total of 157.000, the state emergency
board wilt probably be asked Monday
to authorise the treating of a defi
ciency for bringing back fugitives
from Justice from other states. The
fund of $11,000 created by the legis
lator Af IB II tnr rha mmmnm nt
turning fugitives has been exhausted.
It is expected that $1000 will be
needed.
: The appropriation of Ull-1912 and
1113-1914 for returning fugitives were
Insufficient and the 19 IS leglnlature
provoided $318 6 to pay the total of
the deficiency created.
The legislature jof 19U appropriated
$17,000 for the payment of salaries
of officers and employes, and for the
maintenance and general contingent
expenses of the prison, besides $10,20(1
for making repairs at the institution,
112,500 for the payment of the state's
share of the expenses of convicts,
3000 to make good an amount Incurred
for transporting convicts after the ap
propriation of the previous blennlum
was, exhausted, and $ SO, 000 for the
flax experiment.
Th appropriation for the prison
was the largest in the history of the
Institution. Under the. policy adopted
under the new regime, the population
grew rnpldly and expense of mainte
nance increased. Although the popu
lation now is not as large as several
weeks ago. It Is still large, the total
Saturday being 609. The high record
of the biennlum wa"B6. On January
11, 1915. when Wlthycombe became
governor, there were 434 Inmate.
The increase durtnsr the htannlum was
made in the faoe of the fact that
fewer convicts were received than In
previous years.
Other Allowances SCad.
For maintenance of the training
school for boys an appropriation of
$80,000 wa made by the IS 1 5 legisla
ture. This appropriation was based
on the theory that there would be
100 Inmate. Instead, ther was an
Increase of $7 per cent,, due to the
raising of the maximum age limit from
it years to 18 years.
The sum of $10,000 was appropriated
Tor the maintenance or tno tuoercu
lesls institution. The population has
been increased to the limit of the
place. ,
