The Supervising Architect of the United
States Treasury, Mr.. James G. Hill, has trans
mitted to the Secretary of the Treasury the
following report relative to the work per-
formed on the new jail of the District OF Co.
lumbia since October IL, 1875:
The south and east wings were 80 Ear CON-
pleted as to admit Of their occupation, and the
transfer of prisoners thereto was made In the
early part of December, 1875. The entire
building has since been completed, with the
exception Of . few minor items. The heating,
laundry and kitchen apparatus are all In ex-
cellent working condition. The outlet Of the
sewer being only about one hundred feet from
the building, Il was considered essential, for
sanitary reasons, to extend the sewer to the
river before the summer months, which work
has been completed, the labor in connection
with this work, as also the whitewashing of
brick walls In the prison wings, plastering of
the halls of the eastern wing, much of the
painting of wood and iron, and grading Of the
grounds around the building, being performed
by the prisoners, under the supervision of the
warden, effecting considerable saving 10 the
Government. The following items are re-
quired to complete the building and its sur
roundings; Finishing the inside Of cupola and
painting the ceiling over the guard-room,
81 500; coal vault, x, 900; stable and straw
house, 5000; four hand-power elevators,
$1,000; inclosing wall, $6o, 900. The above
estimate contemplates the employment Of pris-
on labor whenever possible, and I would rec
ommend that Congress be requested to make
the necessary appropriation. The character
Of the whole work Is excellent In every respect,
and the accommodations being ample, would
recommend that its use be not restricted 10
that of q jan simply, but that the necessary
legislation be obtained from Congress for con-
verting it into penitentiary, which would
effect q considerable saving TO the Govern
ment, as workshops could be erected within
the proposed inclosure and the institution
made self sustaining.
