. 1t may be set down as a pretty sure
thing that whichever. (, side :. loses, Mr.
Reymann, or the Board, in this matter
Of moving for and obtaining an iinjunc.
ton, the matter will be taken to the
Supreme, Court OF Appeals Of this State,
and by special arrangement that Court
can probably take the matter up out oil

MR. REYMANN's VIEWS.
Mr.. Reymann owns the property at
the northeast corner OF Fifteenth and
EoG streets, diagonally opposite from
the proposed site OF the new jail, and
Ibis idea has been to very materially en-.
nance its value in the near future by re-
placing the old residence now standing
on, the property, with new and hand.
some modern building. Naturally he
does not care to have even the present
value OF the property diminished BY. the
close proximity OF a Jail building. Mr..
Reymann has other properties in the
same vicinity, which be fears would
lose their, values by, reason of the pro
posed new jail. In speaking Of the matter
yesterday he cited still another reason
why the proposed Jail should not, in bis
opinion, be located at the corner of Fit
teen and EoT streets, and that is, the
fact that Linsly Institute stands on the
opposite corner. The sights and sounds
so often seen and heard about Jail are
not the best in the world to be i'm.
pressed on young minds. Besides all this,
Mr.. Reymann! believes that in the not
far future, comparatively speaking, the
county will have to leave the Public
Building and seek larger and Z, better
quarters. = 1t might be then that the
proposed new Jail would be far removed
from the Court House. Z s,1,isss
Mr.. Reymann, it will be remembered,
proposed to the Board when the matter
Of new Jail was first talked Of, that il it
would secure the possession OF the quar-
ter, section, it is after for .. jail site, and
devote it sto park purposes; he would
arrange for the remaining quarter sec
ton being devoted to a like purpose.
Mr.. Reymann:believes with large
number of other Taxpayers that the
present Jail: could be nicely modernized
with the amount that will have to be
expended to acquire possession OF the
proposed site for new jail-some $685.
900 or $40, 000-and thereby save to the
taxpayers the cost Of a new jail on top
of this amount. 3 Z II,
THE PRESENT SITUATION. "a hi

the property contained in the quarter
sectien in question, is as follows: Mrs.
Lorraine Foreman, Of Parkersburg, had
condemnation 81 proceeding II instituted
against her by the Board, but pending
action $4,000 was agreed upon as the
price, to be paid for her property. In. the
