A COUNTY WORKHOJSE.

The question of the county commits
siOners erecting and having maintained
a county workhouse is one that might
be carefully considered not only by the
commissioners but by the taxpayers in
the county as well. 1t would not only
be a saving to the county. but would
serve as an effect on many prisoners
convicted of misdemeanors to make
some attempt to secure money from
some source to pay their fines. Not
only that, it would serve to relieve the
towns to some extent from the tramp
evil, as they would hardly care to work
out fine. In both cases as it is now,
convicted prisoners who are unable to
pay their fines either lay them out in
the county Jail at st. Clairsville at the
expense of the county, or in the town
Jail at the expense Of the taxpayers OF
the town. If a workhouse was erected.
say about five miles west the river on
the National pike, it would be a saving
In railroad fare of nearly one dollar on
each prisoner, which in turn could be
devoted to paying an official in charge
Of the place. Then instead of the coun-
ty hiring men to break stone to put on
the pike within its boundary, the pris-
oners incarcerated in this workhouse
could be S.ss;e do it, which would I'M
doubtedly be no small saving for the
county. IT is a fact that the county
has long been in need of such an insti-
|ution as this, and its need IS becom-
e more plainly shown every day, con-
Fquently not only should the taxpay-
OF the county agitate such a move
ent. but they shauld impress the COM

BOND ISSUE.

The following has been handed the
Register for publication
The question OF issuing bonds for the
improvement of the water works sys-
tenn to DE voted on at the election on
Monday, is one that should interest
every citizen, as all are dependent alike
upon this source for a supply OF water.
There has been very little inconven-
fence experienced SO far on account of
a lack of supply, but the pumps have
been run beyond their intended capac-
ity and it has been necessary to run
them both day and night in order to
maintain this supply.
The trustees of the water works re-
alize that in order to insure continu-
GUS future supply of water it is neces-
sary to replace the Gordon & Maxwell
one million gallon pump with new
one of four or five million gallons
daily capacity, and increase the size
of the force main from pumping sta
ton to reservoir; and also the boiler
capacity at the pumping station, and
for this purpose they have asked Coun-
ell to have the matter of issuing bonds
to the sum of $4,000 submitted to
vote of the citizens at the April cleo
ton.
The water works and Council have
now gone as far as they can in the
matter, and it now rests with the vOt-
ers to say whether the improvement
shall be made or not and it is hoped
that every citizen will feel enough in
terest in the matter to give it fair
consideration and vote either for or
against the issue of water works bonds
when they cast their ballots on Mon
day. If the voters decide against the
improvement and there should be a.
shortage of water the trustees will
then feel that they are not responsible
for the same, and in casetof any serious
breakage to the Hughes pump (Which
is likely to occur at any time) the citi-
Zens would experience a water famine;
and not only that but the manufacture
ers depending upon city water would
be compelled to shut down until the
necessary repairs could be made, there
by throwing men temporarily out OF
employment.
Since the Water Board have assumed
the interest in the water works bonds
1t has not cost the taxpayers a cent
outside of their water rent to main
tain the water works system, and it is
estimated that the receipts from water
rents will be sufficient to pay all eX-
pense, including the interest on the
proposed new issue, so that no one
need fear that the issuing of the bonds
will in any way increase taxes.
Another matter to be considered is
our fire protection. While we have al
ways been very fortunate in the past
in always having an ample supply of
water during fires, it is possible that a
fire might break out during a time
when the only pump we have capable
of furnishing such a supply is out of re-
pair, and the damage at such a time
might be equal to the amount asked for
by the trustees for putting in a new
pump.
