The receipts from the prisons are small and are derived from the
work of the prisoners or municipal contributions. In 1925, the reven ue
reached about $1,000. The expenses for the sarne year amounted to
$433,363. The administration of the prisons has become more onerous
during the last years owing to the general increase of the cost of fuel
and articles of first necessity. In 1917, the heating cost $43,000
instead of $93,000 in 1925, and the food for pl'isoners which caused, at
that time, an outlay of $32,000, cost $50,000 in 1925,
