Nicholas under the direction of and moral welfare of the inmates of ‘Connecticut etate prison at Wethers- fleld 1s related In the biennial report of the board of directors just made to the governor. The number of inmates shows = slight average increase over the two previous years, September, 1912, to September, 1914, from 633 to 685. The appropriation made by the last general assembly enabled the board to ceive all inmates as soon as they are sentenced, relieving the crowded con- ditions of the jails. The purchase of additional land ‘is recommmended to give room for outdoor exercises and out- door employment for the tubercular inmates. The benefits of the night school are favorably mentioned. ‘The board places emphasis on the fact that the proportion of deaths to the inmates at the prison was much smaller than in the state at large. ‘In the last two years there were only seven deaths. Little change in the revenues of the prison is reported. The directors add that if the high cest of living contin- ues, the state appropriation of $65,000 ‘will not be enough to run the prison. The policy of true and firm discipline for which the directors stand is prov- ing its value, says the report. Punish- ments are reduced to a minimum and the duration of the punishment rests with the inmate himself. When he agrees to abide by the rules punish- ment ceases. The advantage of modi- fying the silent system and allowing conversation at meals has ralsed the standard of the institution. In the past two years more men had been released on parole than in two previous years. Eighty-five per cent. of those paroled have made good and have gained confidence to take their place in the world again. The increase of life prisoners to one- seventh of the population is mentioned and the directors reaffirm their belief that parole should be extended to. life prisoners who have served 25 years.

COMMENDS MAYOR'S STAND AGAINST LIQUOR TRAFFIC Former Resident Writes Norwich's Chief Executive From Canada. Jack Bresnahan of Blackie, Alberta, Canada, formerly a resident of Ner- criticisms of the prison management in employing prisoners in useful labor under the contract system. The board says the eystem was used to enhance the moral, mental and physical wei- fare of the inmates, and to have them contribute something towards the ex- “It is easy to make suggestions for employment,” continues the _report, “put many uneuspected elements enter into a sound conclusion. Connecticut should study her own needs and not suffer the managements of prisons in othep states to influence her action.” ‘There should be a better understand- ing of le indeterminate law, argues the board, between the prosecuting and sentencing powers and the board of parole. The board of parole should know just what a minimum sentence for Warden Ward A. Garner ssed and the board says he is the right man for the place: firm and strict, yet kindly and willing to help all who need consideration. The report is signed by the entire board: Norris G. Osborn of New Ha- ven, president; Willie O. Burr of Hart- ford, vice president; Frederick M. Sal- mon of Westport, secretary; James W- Cheney of Manchester, Frank C. Sum- ner of Hartford, Edward A. Fulier of Suffield and Robert W. Post of West- population at the close of Sept. 30, 1916, was 640. At the close of the year in 1915 it was 624, says Warden Ward A. Garner in his report. The highest number of inmates in confine- ment during the biennial périod was 670 and the lowest 592, making an av- erage daily population of 636, of whom 16 were women and 88 were life in- mates. The earnings from the prison labor for the two years ended Sept. 30, 1916, was $153,350.50. Receipts from ali other sources for the two years amounted to $15,957.06, making the total receipts from all sources for the two years $169,307.56. “The inmates are now working un. der what is called ‘piece-price’ system, the warden adds. “By this system we expect to increase our earnings during the next two years. The inmates will also have an opportunity to earn something for themselves through a bonus system inaugurated. The in- mates at the close of the year were earning for themselves $10,000 a year. “The cost of maintenance of each man per day for the past two years was contrasted as follows: 1915, $0.1201; 1916, $0.1338. The gross cost of each man per day was: 1915, $0.- 6196; 1916, $0.5511. The gross cost of gaoh man per year: 1913, $189.65; 1916 “The general sanitary condition of the prison has been excellent through- out”the period covered by this report. There have been no epidemics of any sort. Discipline for the past two years has been good. Serious violations have fortunately been rare. Kindness is met with ready response on the part of the inmate. Punishments are the exception rather than the rule. Thi records will show that punishments have fallen off 50 per cent. during the past four years, and the monthly av. erage for the third grade has been less than two during the past fiscal year. The percentage of those who uee the books for reading or study during the week is decidedly greater than in the past. There have been over 409 vol- umes added to the library during the past year. A number of these vol- umes are in Italian, French, Polish, German, Lithuanian and Spanish” The warden expresses appreciation of the work of many persons and or- ganizations who have entertainments and praise is given the Connecticut Prison association for its work. Like the board of directars, the war- den believes life prisoners who ha served 25 yéars and have a good re ord should be paroled. The record of the parole system, be- gun in 1903, is summarized in the fol- lowing: Authorized for parole 334, to- tal number revoked 1, awaiting em- ployment 0, released on parole 333, re- turned for violation 23, delinquent and at large 21, discharged while 6n parole 53, sentences expired while on parole 159, died while on_parole 7, number reporting monthly 6f per cent. of vio- lations to date 14.71.

The use of the yard as a premium for £o0d conduct would conserve the disci- pline n{fi:b. institution.

Brown, commend- ing his stand taken against liquor traffic in this city. The letter follow: Dear Sir and Brother: I say brother because anyone is_my brother from the Rose of New England. As I al- ways have been opposed to booze and to the present day have my first drink to take. I am glad to see by a weekly paper that you and your faithful friend, G. Linton, are going to see that there 1s no booze sold on Sunday. I sincerely hope that you and I will live to see the day when they ean’t sell it any day and old Connecticut will be one of the finest states in the Union. They took a vote on wet and dry here over a year ago and she went dry and now the three prairie prov- inces are dry. Mr. Brown, I was born in Norwich and spent my best days there and al- ways have 1 thought for her welfare. And I would like to ask you why Nor- wich eouldn’t have a g0od public mar- ket owned by the city as a couple of them, one on the north side of the square and one somewhere around the junction of Church, Washington and Water streets would pay. Mr. Brown, they are surely a good thing for both farmer and consumer, They have booths here and _they are rented to any one who wants them. Then they have two days & week called market days, usually on Wednesday and Saturday, when the farmers bring in their stuff and hire a stand for 25 cents for that day and sell to the public direct. They fought it in the city of Calgary to a stand- still, but it’s one of the best things in the city today. You think it over and if_you wish any more information I'll put_you in touch with the manager at Caigary. - There is another thing that hurts me and that is to think that there are so many well educated girls in Nor- wich that_even after they spend four years in the N. F. A. they g0 to work somewhere for a few dollars a week when dozens of them could come out here and take a course in normal work and every ome of them could get schools faster than they could accept them at a minimum wage of $750 for 210 days teaching. This is the salary paid in the country schools that any girl who has graduated from Broad- Way could fill as far as education is concerned, ‘Wages have been golng up a little for a few years now. Last fall har- vest hands were getting from 34 to $5 per day and we couldn’t get them at that, but of course, that was due to the war. But the harvest hands for the last three years have been setting from $2.50 to $3.50 a day and board. Well, Mr. Brown, I hope you will tell me what you think of ‘the public market any way and if there is anything you or any one else wishes to know, that's what I am here for. Remember me to Honorable Wil- liam Doty and George Linton. P. S—We have had it from 20 to 45 degrees below zero here for the last 10 days. AT THE DAVIS THEATRE ing Plctures.
