The inhab- itants were so sensitive about the name t Ossining instead o} What the new prison is to called has not as yet been decided There wes some talk of calling it Stony Point Prison, after Stony Point, which lies some seven miles to the south, and where a battle wes fought in the RevoliMonary Wr in which the Americans were victorious over the British. The evolutionary societies have made strenuous objection to applying this nams to a State's prison, and it is likely their protest will be heeded since there is no particular reason for calling the prison Stony Point anyhow, A better name would be Jona, after the island in the Hudson which the prison will face, or Popolopen after the creek, or Doodletown after a little village near by. While the discussion over a suitable name has been waged, the Public have been informed only by a casual paragraph as to what the prison will cost and how many convicts it will hold. Excluding the land and the expenditure of laying out the sites and grounds, the prison build. {ngs alone are to cost $4,000,000 and provide accommodations for 2,000 convicts, That means a building cost of more than $2,000 for eact prisoner, Including the expense of 12 land, the architect's and superintendent's fees, and the customary excess on public works of the actual cost over the estimates, the housing of each convict will mean the collection of $3,000 in taxes from the people of this State, cutionened AN RANG BeNECCCRNCCY we ore ' | 4 pS Wise oa p The average family, according to the State and Federal cen- Sus, is 514 people. How many families live in a $15,000 house? Hox many families have provided for them as comfortable, sanitary and cos ly a shelter as the State will provide for its convicts? In New York City rents are many t hig cities and in the towns and villages of the State, The rent on a S15. 000 house to cover taxes, repairs, deterioration and interest on the in- vestment must be at least 8 per cent., or $1,200. The average yearl income of the working man of this State is a third less than $1,200 The average shopkeeper does not make enough to pay this much rent | for his family. This is not a statement that especial extravagance or unusual ex- Penditures are to be made on this new State's prison, The same polic) of costly housing for its charges has been practised for years in the State insane asylums and hospitals, The State pays more for the sup- Port of foundlings in its orphan asylums than the average father of four or five children can afford to pay for their food and clothing and care. The point of this is that since all t earnings and savings of the mass of the people, the more the State expends on convicts, insane, infirm, orphans and the other classes of the community of whom it takes charge at public expense, the less th mass of the community are able to he care of t families, for the upbringing of their own children so that they be convicts, for the care of the sick of their own house pride keeps from being a public ct This is neither an argum | only a statement of facts. r Letters from the People. ——EE—————EEE xes in the end come out of pend for ds wh oNtician’ and “Statesman,” sponse t the difference and a ‘statesman’ governor of men; a po) Tobber from men.
