Oregon Penitentiary
Administration Hit
For High Food Budget
Salem (U.R) State Sen. Dean
Walker, Independence, has ques
tioned the state penitentiary ad
ministration for spending more
money than piovidcd In the
budget for feeding its prisoners.
The State Emergency Board
was-asked to approve $183,000
from the governor's emergency
fund, the major part of which
was to cover a $70,000 deficit in
food costs, and to cover purchase
of beef for the convicts during
the rest of the current biennium.
Incrsas.d Year Ago
Said Sen, Walker to Col. Wil
liam Ryan, director of institu
tions; George Alexander, prison
superintendent, and Virgil
O'Malley, warden:
"You were given an increased
food budget by the Legislature
just about a year ago, and almost
immediately you began to spend
more money than the budget pro
vided. Don't you know that it is
against the law to run up a de
ficit without approval?"
Ryan told the emergency
board that the increased food
budget had been adopted at a
time when there was unrest at
the prison and it had been im
possible for authorities to cut
back the menus.
Priionsri Fed Bettar
State Rep. Rudie Wilhclm,
Portland, wanted to know:
"How do the meals at the peni
tentiary slack up with the meals
the
which the average citizen can
afford these days?"
Alexander replied:
"Well, I think the prisoners
get better food than the prison
guards."
Warden O'Malley said
meals at the prison are of
solute minimum quantity.
there are no luxury items."
The board took the matter un
der advisement.
It also took under advisement
a request from Dr. Irvin Hill,
superintendent of Fairview
home for mentally deficient, for
$163,693 for alterations to build
ings at the institution to take
care of the most urgent cases of
the 170 children now on the
.home's waiting list.
Dr. Earl B. Stewart, Roseburg,
chairman of the State Fair Com
mission, told the board the state
fire marshal had condemned the
stadium where the horse shows
arc held asa major feature of the
State Fair.
