The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1867-04-13

We publish a communication from
the wellsburg Herald, in regard to the
State penitentiary, that will be likely
to attract attention. 1t would seem
that the necessary stone foe the build
ing is to cost nearly four hundred and
fifty thousand dollars in the rough.
How much more 1t will cost to lay the
stone in the walls, and to otherwise
complete the building, no one can tell,
we presume, but possibly as much
more. It is thought by some that the
State has started in for a full million on
the penitentiary. In contradistinction
from this estimate we append below the
estimate made by the Board OF Direc-
tors, in their report to the Governor, last
January. Its as follows:
For 100 perch of stone for outer walls
