The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-01-08

Whereas, 1t has been suggested, that,
pending the construction of the proposed
new county JAIL quarters shall be pro-
Yided for the persons therein confined in
the City Hall and Court House building a
measure which, in the opinion of the
Common Council, is most objectionable
one; and,
Whereas, There seems to be no valid
reason to be urged why the persons
ordinarily committed to the county Jail
should not during the limited period re-
ferred to. be cared for and confined at
the workhouse heretofore established and
maintained at the expense of the City of
st. Paul, inaSmuch as by far the most OF
county expense is eventually borne by
the taxpayers of said city; now therefore
be it
Resolved. That the Common Council
hereby protests against the proposed To-
cation of temporary Jail quarters in the
City. Hall and Court House building, ana
further hereby directs those of it's mem
bers who are members of the Joint Court
House and City Hall Commission to use
all honorable means to prevent the ac-
complishment of the suggestion in fact;
and further be it
Resolved, That the Board of WorI1house
Directors be, and they are hereby re-
Quested to make all efforts within their
power to arrange for the care and recep-
ton OF persons ordinarily committed to
the county jail at the city workhouse, as
hereinhef0re suggested.
