Worlshouse Trustees

Tho trustees of the New Castle County
Workhouse met at the office of j. FRANK
Ball yesterday afternoon and discussed
sites for the proposed institution and also
the chances uf being able to erect and cquil
it on tho money allowed by the Lagisla.
ture.
In the discussion no particular loca-
tion was mentioned. The trustees were
Of the opinion that the site should be
large enough to allow them to provide for
future additions. This was the advice
given them by the managers Of all similar
institutions which they havo visited.
The question of erecting the buildings,
purchasing tho site and equipping the in
sttutisn after it was erected was then
taken up and considered briefly. The bill
creating iho workhouse provides for an
issue Of bonds to the amount of $4,000
aud this is looked upon as rather u small
sum for the work. 1t is hoped however.
that the trustees will be able to carry out
the provisions Of the law Oh that amount.
On Friday visit will be made to New
Castle Jail for he purpose Of fuding out
some of tho details of how many people are
in prison there ami the cost of maint ain
ing them. Other information may also be
obtained from tho old structure. The
trustees will be very careful in selecting
officers for the workhouse, because they
think that the success of the Institution
will be largely due to the efforts Of tao
warden.
