A Couple of Mistakes Corrected.


1t is very easy TO make misstatements,
and statements that are liable To be mis-
construed. Care ought always to be taken
to get at the facts, if possible, before en-
deavoring to enlighten the public upon
any matter.
The statement has been made, and it is
incorrect, that the city had no right to
give away the lots on which the jail
stands, because the city is heavily in
debt, owing "over $4,000, 900"
The truth is, that the city has
no right to the jail site as long
as the Jail remains where 1t is.
The lots were granted to the county
on the understanding that the jail was to
be moved, and under conditions which
permit the title to them TO rest in the
county only for the purpose of disposing of
them for the benefit of the new Jail
fund. But the city is to get paId for the
lots. 1t is expressly stipulated in the
ordinance granting the lots to the county,
that the city's prisoners snail be cared for
in the jail at the cOunty's expense This
Is certainly very valuable considera-
ton, and puts the city IN the position of
having got very good bargain. There is
another thing that must not be lost sigh
Of. 1t is that II the Jail is moved the lots
viii be sold and improved, and the city
viii obtain a revenue from them i'll the
shape of taxes.
There is no use making the city's debt
out larger than it is. To state it exactly
it is $3,750,0O0. That is certainly very
much less than ''over $4,000,00O"
