There is complaint of the way the Jail is
kept by the Marshal. 1t is very filthy and
the expensive odorless buckets have stood
for days without being emptied. The Off
Ger is paid eXtravagantly for attending 20
those matters, our people think, and they
require of him an honest and faithful dis
charge of his duties. A good pump stands
inside the Jail by the cells, and the room
should be kept clean. We understand that
some of the committee appointed by the
Court of Common Pleas have made several
visits to our Jail with Il view of reporting
its condition to the Judge. The Jail is new
and there is no reason why its sanitary con-
diton should be complained of. The old
Jail. with its damp walls, wooden buckets,
and poor ventilation was never half as bad
as the present one We hear the jailer
hires some poor unfortunate person once in
long time TO clean the city building and
jail and thinks this is all that the law and
Council requires of him in this regard. 1t
is to be hoped that nothing further will be
necessary in this direction.
New curbing is being set along Morgan
street, where the old curbing IS good. This
latter should be- removed and placed at
other places where needed, especially
around the Briedenstein property, where
more than three hundred feet of tirst-class
protected by any curbing.
