Your committee further report that they have examined the condition of the prison, and find it in excellent order, the prisoners well provided with suitable food and clothing, and proper attention paid to their wants.
The committee would recommend an appropriation of the sum of five thousand dollars to pay the indebtedness of the institution for bills contracted before the present keeper took possession.
The committee find cash and available funds due the institution amounting to about two thousand dollars, but would recommend the same to be left in the hands of the keeper, to enable him to pay cash for his purchases.
On account of the increase of prisoners, the committee would recommend the building of an additional wing to the prison, for the accommodation of the female prisoners and hospital, not to exceed the sum of fifteen thousand dollars.
