THE COMMITTEES REPORT.
The following is the jail Commlttee's
report:
TO the Honorable Common and Select
Councils:
"Gentlemen,-The special committee
appointed by your honorable bodies for
the consideration OF the letter OF the
Judge OF the Corporation Court and the
report of the committee appointed by
him, for investigation and report as to
the conditions and needs OF the city
Jail, would respectfully report as fol-
lows:
I'VE have visited the Jail In body
in company with the City Engineer.
the City Sergeant and the Chief of Po-
lice. and have canvassed the situation
to the best of our ability. We find by
this investigation that the present
structures occupied as a city Jail and
for police headquarters. morgue, etc,
are totally inadequate for the purpose
for which they are utilized at this
time. Some of the cells of the Jail con-
tain as many as seven inmates. which
number, in our Judgment is entirely
too many. We also find that the facil-
tiles for separating the male and female
prisoners are very limited. Your COM
mittee finds that there are insufficient
accommodations in the way of water
closets. and In the entire jail we find
only one bath-tub. The above named
defects are menace not only to the
health Of the prisoners. but to persons
in close proximity as we'll. II !s the
Judgment of your committee that we
can see no way OF temporarily remedy
Ing the existing evils with the present
buildings, and we would therefore rec
ommend that a new modern, up-to-dat e
building be constructed on the present
site, acquiring in addition thereto such
property as may be necessary as per
the accompanying plat. The said build
ing to be used for the Mayors office
police Justices office and court, police
station and headquarters. city jail, city
morgue and quarters for the police pa
troll wagon. all under one roof.
Respectfully submitted.
