best for this Legislature to let Cincinnati
finish this work house, for, in his opin- |
ion, it was really necessary to have such
house.
Mr.. SCOTT said, this case differed from
the Franklin county enterprise. Cincin-
natl had partly completed the building, and
to stop now would cause q large loss. He
believed that 1t would be a good rule al,
ways to submit these questions first to
the people. Hamilton county could not
take care Of her prisoners in the common
jail. This prison is intended not only to
be place of punishment for crime, but Is
also reformatory, because it will learn the
prisoners habits of ind dustry. Large sums
have been already expended, and if the
question is now to be submitted to the
people, the vote ought to be recOnsidered,
that justice may be done.
Mr.. HILL. of Defiance, said it is due, as
ar act of courtesy to the Hamilton county.

cred. Such course will enable the friends
of the bill to put it in shape, so that it may
meet the appreciation of the House.
