THE grand inquest was deeply impressed
with the urgent necessity of providing
more room at the county jail for the CON

punishment, yet it is obvious to any casual
observer or visitor thai the Jail is too much

suggest that in the face OF such urgent

authorities provide some better acCommo-
dations in the way of cell room for the
| prisoners.
