Dividing the gross expenditure, $89,639.57, by the average weekly number, 918, we have $97.65 as the annual cost of each inmate, which is a weekly cost of $1.88.

The close of the year reminds me of my obligations to my associates, who have faithfully served the State in their several spheres, and to yourselves, gentlemen, for your unceasing interest in this Institution, and your unfailing support in the administration of its affairs.
