To THE EDITOR OF TIE JoURNAL: In
4 the report OF the Inspectors of Prisons
and Jails in regard to Waldo county oc-
ours the following passage:
In the Waldo county Jail there We're
more tramps committed the past year
than in the jails Of Cumberland, kennebec,
! Androscoggin and Penobscot combined
! The commissioners OF Waldo should in
4 vestigate this matter and see if some
method cannot be devised whereby the
| jail may be made less attractive to tramps
/ We would suggest that diet of crackers
and Goldfish with liberal supply OF water
would make the Jail less desirable home
for this class of people.
This with some additions, was publish
H ed in the journal several weeks ago, and
and represent the facts. This report. by
inference, seems to accuse us of some lack
Of vigilance in this matter. In the years
the present commissioners have been on
the board the Prison Inspectors have never
met OF communicated directly With us in
any method Whatever II does occur to
me that it would have been more collrte-
