The NEw JAIL.-In the letter from Super
yisirg Architect Su!lett TO the Secretary OF the
Interior, and transmitted by the latter TO the
House OF Representatives, Mr.. Mullett calls at
tentiOn TO the fact thar the Limitation on the cost
OF the lew Jail in the District of Columbia was
liked by the committee without having anv
plans or estimates therefor, while II was stipu-
lated that the building should contain cells TOR
$50 prisoners. This necessarily fixed the size of
the building, and made IL impossible 70 reduce
the size 50 as TO bring it within the amount APP
propTiated and construct 8 building suitable for
the purpose. The estimates contemplate a gaI-
yaniZed- iron coTnice and a roof of tin and lum-
Der that Is unsuitable and unit for such a struc-
ture- he, therefore, renews the recOmmenfa-
tons Of his annual report that authority be
given TO complete the building in a thorough and
Substantial manner, and IN accordance with the
character Of the work already done, and rena1s
the recommendation that the building be COM
pieted az & penitentiary, pointing out the saw
ing TO The government that would be effected.

OF the Supervising Architect as TO the propriety
OF completing the building so that it may be
used both for jail aud penitentiary purposes
