The request came in a letter from Ernest J. and Darlene Bianchi, no address listed. The couple said the ordinance would prevent children from creating a hazard and a nuisance to motorists. It would also discourage vandalism and destruction and infringement on the rights of property owners. Commissioners doubted such an ordinance could be enforced and that it could possibly be used to keep children from walking on streets where there are no sidewalks. A report showing the county spent $120,688 for extended care hospital services during Jan. 1 to March 31 was acknowledged by commissioners. IState Prison : among the minimum security prisoners.

By JACK MONSON Peseret News Staff Writer STATE PRISON -The prison, in a sense, Is suffering from a lack of convicts. - "Due to a sharp drop in prison populati n, the cost of operating the pen had gone up and the warden is hard put trying to find enough men to operate prison industries. However, the situation has a brighter side in that it reflects an increasing effort to train the men for outside jobs and to rehabilitate them. situation The contradictory was explrined to the State Board of Corrections at a regular meeting today by Warden John W.

During May, 68 prisoners were released, possibly an e high. Turner told the board that cost per year has risen from $2,400 last year to $2,788 this year, due to sharp inflation in food costs, greater food waste and inability to operate fully prison industries which help provide food and clothing or other goods to exchange for them. Whereas it has been costing about 65 cents a day to feed each convict, the cost is now edging toward 70 cents, said the warden. The higher food waste occurs because the prison operation is geared to a higher inmate count. With fewer mouths to feed, cost has, of the overall course, dropped. But, in preparing its annual budgets the prison must base it on cost, which is where trouble may arise in selling the figures to the Legislature. The warden noted that even though daily food cost and food waste have increased, thoy are still among the lowest in the country. When the population was 700, food waste was held to one per cent. I LABOR POOL .One problem arising from the shrunken inmate count has been solved by the prisone ers themselves.
