The buildings for both male and

and the sanitary conditions were
very noticeable.
The committee urged the erection
of a new water system for the farm,
the present plant being wholly in
adequate to supply water for the
1,000 men and 1,000 animals on the
farm. The personal of the prison are
the most outstanding men the prison
commhsion has ever had directing
the institution. Judge Dunaway, su

warden of the male prison, and Capt.
