From his report we take the following synop- 8is which is highly interesting as in- dicating at least symptoms of some change of heart in the matter of the popular demand for the abolition of the convict lease systeim. Nir. McRae calls attention to the fact that the State has no stockades of its own in which to house a single prisoner, either the women and hos- pital subjects, or the able bodied. Theie weie on Dee, 31, 1,421 State convicts, of which number 287 wers women and hospital subjects, The CCliiiissioner recommends that the prisoncrs be leased for another four years at the expiration of the pres- ent lease and the receipts trom their hire be used to equip the prison farm. He rccommends that the precceds from the hire of State convicts for the last two quarters of 1913 be used for beginning the work ~ Mr. McRae estimates that this would give $130 000 immediately available. The first building on the prison farm recom- mended by Mr. McRae is a hospital. Following this recommendation he says: : “While the lessce company has given to the hospital prisoners es- pecially good treatment, and have done all that was expected of them, and in some instances more, in look- dug after and providing for this por- | .tlon of our prisoners, yet, as a mat- ger of principle, it is not right for the State of Flgrida to force the care of the sick, the aged and infirm, and the female population on a lesseco { eompany. These, of all the prison Population, should be cared for by % the Stute.” Mr. McRae believes, from expres- slons in the report, that to build up . & model prison system will require a great deal of business judgment, a large sum of money and several years L of time. He helieves that a plan sim- flar to the Buckman plan in the S Bards to the State colleges could be 8 followed with benefit. The system _should be laid out, planned and un- der the supervision of a board, or| In his! sather a prison commiesion. L feport Mr. McRae calls attention to jhe fact that the present system of M: convicts has been In vogue for thirty-two years and nothing has ‘Deen done in all that time to im- 88, 9rove the system. He believes the R Bext Legislature should enact the in- Stiatory legislation looking to its im- Provement. b T — The new measures to be proposed Governor Trammell to the Legis- '@ next month seems to be meet- With general approval, as they brve, and even those not ap- ed have been but mildly criti- d. The Tampa Times generalizes this way about them: . “As a rule recommendations new legis! by Governor mmell as gi t through the Papers have cellent. The [flmes has not enthusiastically ap- oved of cne or two of them and regarded a very few as unnec- ; but we cannot say thahny the measures the governor has ad- peated would be positively ul if adopted. The majority, as we ve said, are excellent ani should ! enacted into laws.” { ——— We congratulate Colonel Jim Ham | #Wis upon landing that long term ' llinois senatorship, and we con-rat- late Illinois herself upon securing ch a splendid type of a Virginia- barm- | 'NETHODS ENPLOYED IN SECURNG SITES " FOR FEDERAL BUILDING (Continued from Page 1.) ’land becomes the property of the i sovernment, A small bond is usuaily required in this connection, “Clearing the site” includes the re- | moval therefrom of all buildinzs, fcundations, or othcr improvements | (except retaining walls and walls supporting sidewalks) and all tracks, | poles, and wires (overhead or under- ground); the abandonment of all gas, water, and heating pipes, ducts, | ete, conduits, ditehes, and sewers 'cmssing the site, together with the "sntisl'uu(ory plugging of the ends I thereof at the lot lines (unless th. ! requirement fer the discontinuanee "of any such pipes, ducts, conduits, or sewers i8 expressly waived by the |department); the safely covering over, :cullnrn. excavations, etc., on such site, and the taking away of all de- ! bris resulting from such removals, stracts, evidences of title, etec., re- . quired by the attorney general, | The buildings (if any) on the site _should be reserved by the vendor, to ibe removed upon sixty days' notice (usually) after payment for the land has been made. Generally, notice to clear the site is not given until the construction of the federal building I8 about to begin, it the vendor is willing, pending si.ch removal, to ray a reasomable ground rent, the rate for which can not be made a und the leaving of the land clean; all without expense to the United States and to the satisfaction of the custodian of the site to be hereafter aprointed. There is frequently a larze volume of site business befere the depart- ment, and, while such work receives unremitting attention until finished, it I8 not always practicable to dis- pose of a particular case as speedily as desired by the parties interested. Bidders are at liberty (in case of follure of the department to make a selection within a reasonable time) to withdraw their proposals, but will be expected by the department to glve notice of such intention. When the department has selected a site, such action is final unless the vendor fails to perform the condi. tions of the contract with him or (in cuse of condemnations) the property cannot be acquired at a price the department would feel justified in :Peying: When once the title to a sito !1a vested In the United States, a new act of Congress would be necessary [to enable the department to change to some other location. Plans for public buildings are tak- en up in the order in which the titles [ to the sites therefor are vested in the { United States, and the contracts for their construction aré let at as early a date as practicable.
