Of prisoners now confined in Jail It would
be impossible TO remove them 70 any
other building in the city while q new
jail was being built on the site OF the
old one.n The committee in view OF
these facts recommended the adoption
Of resolution authorizing the commit
tee TO take the necessary steps to obtain
the title TO the property situated Just
east Of the Court House, being the north
east quarter Of the square on which the
Public Building stands,
On motion OF Mr.. Cruise action on this
resolution was. postponed. Mr., Cruise
stated that he had been requested by
Mr.. Reymsnn to ask for this postpone-
ment, II Is understood that Mr., Rey.
mann, as q public spirited citizen, %
very much opposed TO seeing all posi-.
billties Of eveT-making the balance Of
the Public Building square a public
park, destroyed by the erection OF sub
stantial jail building that would be In
tended TO last for years, Mr.. Reymann
thinks that In time the Wheeling 4
Elm Grove terminal might be established
in the old Hempfeld yard, across the
street from where 1t Is now, and that
the city could then have the property
the company now occupies, Then pro-
yided the county could procure the
northeast quarter Of the square, pretty
park could be made, Mr.. Reymann also
thinks that q jail building at the point
suggested would sadly dwarf and over
shadow the Public Building,
