the citizens of that place donate the
site of the penitentiary together with
the stone quarry, some forty or fifty
acres in all 10 the state free of all in
cumbrance. They further propose to
erect at once temporary quarters for not
less than one hundred convicts. and
have them ready for occupancy hy June
LIST. The program is then to move as
many as one hundred of the short time
prisoners from Deer Lodge to Billings
and put them at work getting out stone
for and building an enclosing wall for
te permanent prison building. This
wall will be seven feet thic'- at the base
md three feet at the top will be sixteen
feet above ground and four feet under
ground and will enclose a space ioox5o0
feet. within which the penitentiary
building will be erected. The citizens
have also agreed to extend the city water
mains to the penitentiary site and TO
furnish the buildings with water with
out cost. This is very handsome and
enterprising of the people at Fosterville.
