City's New Court House, Jail and.
Crematory.

1t need surprise no one if the new
city jail Should be located near the
center OF the block north Of the city
and county building with the forty
seven feet now owned by the city just
opposite the joint building used as a
street leading into the jail and the
street continued through to Third
South street This is one oS the pr0pO-
sitiOns that is now under consideration
by the police and prison committee
that was Instructed at theslast meeting
Of the city council to decide upon
something and report July L. Another
proposition is to use the fOrty-seveu
feet that the city now owns on Fourth
South for the Justices court rooms to
be erected. and have the jail ia the
rear. This plan involves the purchase
of the church property adjoining. the
ground 10 be used for police headquar-
ters- Still another plan is to purchase
ground in the interior of the block to
the east OF the city and county build
ing and erect the jail and the city
court rooms adjacent to the city heat
ing plant now located there. 1t is
argued in favor Of this plan that the
same heating plant would answer for
the joint buildings, the jail, the police
headquarters and the justices courts.
The committee that has this-wOrk in
hand is composed of CottreH. Hewlett,
Hartenstein, FernstrOm and Thomas,
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1901-06-20

This committee was instructed to take
this matter UP four months ago. Dut
UP to this time nothing definite has
been done. Now. however, the DISPOSE
ton is to push the matter through,
and as there is money on hand, there
is no excuse for further delay.
Councilman Robertson. the chairman
of the finance committee, Yesterday
stated that he was in favor o. erecting
a new Jail building at once on the
interior of a block. as much out of
sight as possible. Then he would favor
pulling down the old Jail on First
South street and selling the lot upon
which it now stands, as it is ground
that the city VIII never want.

Beatty as the chairman. is on the
lookout for a site for the new crema-
tory and expects 10 be able to report
favorably at the meeting of the cOun-
ell on the evening Of Tuesday july j.
The sentiment favors the selection Of a
site close in, in the interior of a block,
where the ground is cheap. A location
near the business. district is favored,
as the work of remating the garbage
is not Objectionable, and by having

They reported last evening at the regu-

to push the matter.further
The wholesale jObbers of the city are

clerks to get a little recreation during
tie hot months of the summer. All
