The site of the new reformatory is on
the bank of the Railway river, and con

| building is to be on Railway avenue,
about 5000 feet from the river. When

| be the finest of it's kind in this country.
The committee in charge of the selection
of plans visited the principal reforma-
tories in the East, and of all the plans
submitted to them Mr.. Thomas came
the nearest to the idea of a perfect re-
formatory.
The new buildings will accommodate
LOCO inmates, and will probably be made
of brick. There is to be a central build

street BY a circular driveway. Near by
will be the group of cottages used by

new ~refornatory will be used for the in
carceration of first offenders between
the ages of sixteen and thirty years.
The ground for the new buildings will
probably be broken within two weeks.
