Penitentiary Makes a Good Showing
for Six Months.
The dream of governors to make the
Nebraska self sustaining has not been
reached, but the semi-annual report of
Warden A. D. Beemer to Governor
Sheldon indicates that It Is possible.
If tho labor of convicts In making re
pairs and in raising farm produce that
Ik consumed is taken into account, the
Institution Is now virtually self sus
taining. If expenses cun be reduced or
if the recolpts are Increased by an ln
whose labor now brings the state fifty
conts a day, and the prisoners can be
employed at an increased wage, the
thing is done.
Thoro are more ways than one to
figure it. out. The report of the war
den for tho six months ending Novem
ber 110 shows' a total expenditure for
salaries and maintenance of $27,696.
33, or a percaplta of $76.32. During
tho same period prisoners earned by
contract labor at T0 cents a day $18,
lf6.99 and If $9,007.51 earned by pris
oners In making ropalrs and Improve
ments is added, tho total earnings
wore $27,164.59, or a per capita of
$74.80 as compared with per capita ex
penditures of $76.32. Neither Is thero
any account taken In tills computation
of $3,827.07 worth of produce raised
on tho penitentiary farm, not count
ing the increase In livestock.
Warden Boemer roports the various
Improvements and earnings and says
the total per capita cost for tho six
months was $98.72, per capita earn
ings for tho same period, $50.03, mak
ing an actual not per capita cost to
tho stato of $48.69.
Of tho $18,156.99 earned by the con
victs during tho six months $9,083.54
was unpaid November 30. Unadjusted
claims against tho maintenance fund
amount to $4,983.10, against tho gen
eral repair fund, $432,76 and against
the ofuco and contingent expense
