county Jail:
eve, the grand jury, find nothing re-
quiring especial attention in the condi-
ton of the county jail, and hereby ex-
press our satisfaction with the cleanli-
hess and good ventilation everywhere
apparent. We, however, suggest that

onerS confined upon serious criminal
charges be kept separate from the other
prisoners, and that the quarters assigned
to the female prisoners be enlarged.
