1.
  It shall be the duty of the commissioner  of  correctional  services  to
  distribute,  among the correctional institutions under his jurisdiction,
  the labor and industries assigned to said institutions, due regard being
  had to the location and convenience of the prisons,  and  of  the  other
  institutions to be supplied, the machinery now therein and the number of
  prisoners,  in  order to secure the best service and distribution of the
  labor,  and  to  employ  the  prisoners,  so  far  as  practicable,   in
  occupations in which they will be most likely to obtain employment after
  their  discharge  from  imprisonment.  The  commissioner of correctional
  services shall change or dispose of the present plants and machinery  in
  said  institutions  now  used in industries which shall be discontinued,
  and which can not be used in the industries hereafter to be  carried  on

  purchasers, in case of sales of industries or machinery, to  obtain  the
  best price possible for the property sold, and good will of the business
  to be discontinued.
    2.  The  commissioner  shall  submit reports, quarterly, to the senate
  finance committee, the  assembly  ways  and  means  committee,  and  the
