termilk and milk. When representatives of the Office of Public Roads 
returned to the county to observe the moving of the camp it was 
found that the hogs had been installed again, this time, however, in a 
pen somewhat more removed from the quarters than the first one. 
The results of this phase of the experiment, therefore, can not be 
considered as fully successful. 
The incinerator (Plate VI, fig. 2) was constructed by the representa- 
tive of the Public Health Service, assisted by the blacksmith’s helper, 
a convict, at a time when there was nothing else to do. The convict’s 
time had been charged to other work and no charge has been entered 
for the incinerator. As no other phase of the garbage disposal 
involved any tangible expense, this item has not been considered in 
determining the cost of the camp. 
CLOTHING. 
The clothing used was of the same character as that provided in 
the other camps of the county, and it was supphed in approximately 
the same amount. The accuracy of the records of the cost of this 
item of maintenance was impaired somewhat by the fact that the 
clothes sent to the laundry at the Bellwood Barracks were not 
always returned. In a number of instances the condition of the gar- 
ments which were returned was far below that of those sent. In other 
cases it is possible that the exchange was advantageous. No estimate 
can be made of the loss or gain due to this cause, but it is considered 
that the net result probably was a loss to the experimental camp. 
The records and inventories made at the camp, however, were made 
with judgment and care, and the results are given in Table 10, which 
also includes a statement of the per capita costs.
