For example, If a subscriber pays in ad-

pays for twelve weeks, 1t will count four;
If he pays for one year. it will count seven
teen. On orders which are not paid in ad-

MAY MAKE REPAIRS AT JAIL
Alderman Christensen Examines the
Building and VIII Report
to Council.

II the expense does not prove too great
it is likely that the needed improvements
at the city jail may be made. Alderman
Christensen, chairman of the committee on
police and health, made an examination or
the building yesterday with a view to ascer-'
tanning what is most needed to put 1t in
it condition. He will have estimates made
of the cost of the proposed improvements
and report at the next meeting of the city
council The second floor of the Jail, where
women are confined and where the tramps
are provided with shelter at night, is in a
deplorable condition. It's construction is
such that 1t is practically impossible to keep
it clean.
Some time ago Chief Bixby called the at
tention of the city council to the bad condi
ton of the building and suggested that part
of It at least be remodeled. Among other
things he recommended that the wooden
partitions on the second floor be removed
and replaced with sheet or lattice steel; that
the wooden beds be replaced with iron beds
in the room reserved for female prisoners
and that the wooden hunks in the large
room reserved for dodgers be replaced with
iron ones that could be folded up during the
day; the wooden floor taken up and replaced
with one Of tiles or cement so as to permit
of being properly flushed. He further recon-
mended that the second foor be so divided
as to provide one department for transient
dodgers and vags, one for minors, one for
women and one that could be used as an
emergency ward in the of sick or in
jured persons requiring attention at the
Jail.
At present the Jail is heated by stoves.
Chief Bixby suggested that steam or hot
water plant be put in that would be able
to heat the patrol house as we'll as the Jail.
Alderman Christensen, after examining the
building, expressed himself as strongly in
favor of remodeling the JAIL but to what
extent the needed Improvements would be
carried out, he said, depended in all prob
ability on the cost.
