cost about 100000, which it was thought
would meet the wants of the city when it
contained a population of 10000. 1t was
proposed to make these additions slowly,
to do which authority to issue certificates
of Indebtedness from time to time, as re-
quired, would be asked.
The discussion then drifted back to the
jail, and Mr.. Berkey reiterated his opinion
that only such improvements should be
made as would make the structure clearly
and healthy, and to guard against fire.
Mr.. James King took the same view. He
had no doubt new Jail would be built at
some other place in the next ten years.
The overcrowding Of the jail would soon
be relieved. The cells were safe, but there
should be new furnaces, better ventilation,
water and waste pipes, fire wall, etc., and
removal of the grating about the cells. If
fire should start, even allowing that the
Waterman had time to get to the cells, the
grating would prevent his opening the cells
in time for the prisoners to escape. He
never heard of such a ridiculous arrange
ment.
Finally Col. Harrington moved as the
sense of those present that the county
commissioners be authori zed to expend
not to exceed $4,000 in making such i'm
provements as should be the most neces
sary, the motion being unanimously
adopted.
htORE OFFICE ROOM.
This matter being disposed of Commas
sioner Wiley called attention to the fact
that with the commencement Of work
upon the new court house, more Office and

demolition of the old court house, the pc
cupants would have nowhere to go, the
new court house being already overcrowded.
Some had suggested that the needed rooms
be rented. He was of opinion, however,
as additional vault room had to be sup
that it would be more economical
to build an addition to the north
end of the building. Such
building, with the additional vault room,
having court room on the second floor
and offices on the first, with the necessary
vault room, would cost from $4,000 to
$4,000.
Some little discussion ensued as to
whether portion of the Market hall could
not be utilized for the purpose, but City
Attorney Murray and Col. Allen showed
that it could not be done without sacri
fcing the public hall, and the idea was
abandoned.
In connection with this discussion city
attorney Murray remarked that the county
commissioners ought to have been indicted
for not providing additional vault room
for the county officials before this, as the
officials were not only greatly inconven-
fenced, but the records were unsafe.
Commissioner Wiley answered that
the present board appreciated the
| necessity and would act as soon as possible.
| The question now was, which was most
advisable, to build or rent, and as he had
said before he favored building.
After some further interchange of views
Mr.. Wiley's views were generally acqui-
esced in, and it was voted that
the commissioners be authorized
to expend not more than
$4,000 for such purpose.
The meeting then adjourned, with the
understanding that the county attorney
was to prepare bill appropriating $780,
900 for the two purposes above mentioned,
to be placed in the hands of the legislative
delegation for passage.
