consider same excessive.
The report of the committee on the cost of
keeping Redwood county prisoners in jails in
| other counties was presented to the Board
| and it was ascertained that Redwood county
has paid out 1906 in short time for said
purpose, and that this amount does not in
clude several heavy items that this county
owes for compensation of jailor and board
| of prisoners 1t was also ascertained that
we have paid 1888 during the same length of
| time, in excess of what it would have cost to
keep prisoners in a Jail in this county instead
| of sending them out of the county. The
Board dis cussed the advisability of building
a Jail, and concluded that so far as board and
| other small items were concerned, it would
cost about the same here as outside the
county. Yet, there was in favor of building
a Jail the following arguments: 1st, That
| the money spent for the cost of furnishing
where it was collected, I'd, That it was very
| inconvenient to have prisoners so far away
from where they were to be examined or
| tried Sd, That many times in petty crimes
prisoners, to receive just punishment on &C
count of cost and Inconvenience of taking
them out of the county. 4th, That if we had
q a Jail here, with the certainty of sharp and
cOndign punishment, this would have de-
terrent effect on this class of criminals. 5th,
That the cost to the citizens of the county
would be but triae compared with the ben
efits derived. 9th, That well-equipped Jail
uation of the property of the county, and
that the annual interest on the amount would
be about 16 cents each 81 900 valuation of
the county. 7th, That it was impossible to
court house, and that steam heating plant
could be put under the court house and made
to heat both Jail and court house in the above
presented by Comsr. Arnold, seconded by
COmsr. Pease, and adopted, Comsrs Arnold
Pease, Philbrick and Ellington voting 'aye''
and Comsr. Schandera voting nay"

communicate with the Board of Corrections
and Charities, and commence work as soon
and that Comsr. Phiibricf be s anpo S ios
