The Jail and Workhouse bill for Rut
land county has passed both Houses.
The State is to pay $50. 900 whenever
the county of Rutland raises like ad-
ditional sum to join with the State in
building a Jail and workhouse. A bill
was passed authorizing tax in Rutland
county for the project, and names Red
field Proctor, Lyman Batchelder and
Cyrus Jennings, commissioners TO carry
out the project, in come etion with
three commissioners to be appointed by
the Governor. The county of Rutland
will probably sell al jail property now
owned by them, and buy q larger lot in
some new locality. =
This bill gives great satisfaction, and
Representative Sheldon and the Rutland
county Representatives and Senators
are entitled to great credit for putting
the measure through A. Fl. t.
