1t is being talked that we are soon
to have Jail. The proposition is to
take the Treasurer's office and put two
steel cells in it, and tear out the stair
steps on one side of the court house
and build the Treasurer an Office in
there. We do not favor the scheme. At
ter two steel cells are placed in the
Treasurer's Office what room would
there be. There would be no room at
all, comparatively speaking As We
one OF these cells is large
enough TO admit bed for two persons
and after two of these had been placed
in that small building there would be
no room for q stove. water. wood, etc.
AS We look at the matter, it is almost
like thowing money away. If We build
a jail, lets build good one that will
be credit to the county.-Centrertlte
