Your com. respectfully reports that in con-
formity with ana by authority of the Board in
unanimously adopting the foregoing report on
the 9th day of Nov. last, that they visited the
cities of SheDOygan, Fond du Lac and Oshkosh
for the purpose Of examining the iail buildings
and to see If either OF them were of such con-
struction and arrangement as to ne Liable for
this county to copy from, and also to get what
information we could in regard to cost and
other matter connected Herewith. The Fond
du Lac jail we found to be well constructed
and well arranged for keeping prisoners safeiy y;
also well lighted and ventilated But it has no
provisions or place for Keeping insane persons
other than the common prison cells which are
not suitable for keeping such persons The
building is of cut stone and the prison cells of
cut stone, and the walls lined with boiler iron.

was so estimated by the county officers with
whom we conferred about the matter. In
Oshkosh they have new jail in the form of
an addition to the Court House and old jail !;
but we did not like the arrangement of it all.
it being very badly ventilated and lighted and
must bG very unhealthy. There is likewise no
provision for insane persons. The Jail at She
boygan is under the court mouse and not Such
as we want. The com. therefore concluded
that none of them were such as would suit
this county: we therefore advised together
and fully agreed upon such building and
plan of arrangement as in our opinion this
county needed for jail purposes and also keep
ing insane persons comfortably, and we en-
gagged the services of a competent architect,
Wm. Waters, OF Oshkosh, TO draw plans and
specifications for such a building. Such plans
and specifications are drawn and deposited with
the county clerk. where they can be examined.
The estimated cost by the architect is S26. 800,
complete ; but your com. IS of the opinion that
in view of the very reduced prices of building
material and labor at the present time, that it
can be contracted for at great reduction from
the estimate.
