NEW CASTLE, Del, Nov. Your |
pondent was kindly taken through |
the county Jail yesterday BY Warden \
Smith The institution has just had \
thorough cleaning in all the cells and |
corridors and being newly white washed i
presents a very gratifying aspect. There |
is a look Of newness and cleanliness /
about Il, which is really pleasing. Even /
those who have the misfortune TO be i'm |
prisoned there wear q look Of content |
ment and good will. Several Of the pris |
oners were walking around the corridor. |

calls and 1t presents TO the spectator the
idea that decoration has not yet become
a lost art Numerous visitors we're Ia

! A statement in last nights EVENING
I JOURNAL, signed by Robert Sutton, in
r regard to a growing sentiment among the
] public for removing the county Jail tC
Wilmington, has met with great deal
of disapproval from many Of the tax
| 41r..,
and with Just cause, that there is nc
e need Of removing the jail, because sucf
! al action would necessitate heavier taxes
5 And the present rate of taxation is very
: high. Too high in fsct TO think Of caus
? ing it to be raised. No persons wer,
D more amazed than the people Of New
|. Castle to read the statement and grea
I indignation is expressed on all sides t.
a think that such proposition should havI
e originated from such a person as Mr.
g Sutton. 1t is thought that he had tn
q interest of his constituents too much a
l. heart to attempt TO start plan whicl
!, would increase the taxes Of our people
@ AS it is at present, the farmers sa,
that on account of the dressed beef; tn
q exceedingly low prices which are paid 70
grain and the miserable year for crops o
!, any description they are hardly able T.
2 keep up with expenditure and taxes
As it is great number Of them hav
their liabilities greater than their assets
How can q man live that wayf As IA
!. as enlarging the Jail, that can be takel
: into consideration later on. But a
!. present any further expenditure wouli
's be unnecessary and Improbable. But L
take Mr. Sutton's statement all througl
!. he puts in two or three clauses whicl
!. show that he still holds up for saving ex
n penses, although it seems TO take hi
letter as a whole that he does not.
