COUNTY TO HAVE NEW JAIL
II People Of Burlington Want Location
Changed Now Is the Tina to Act

Chittenden county Is to have a new Jail.
the present structure, which was erected
In 1883, having become unsafe and unit for
USE and the side judges, ELI r. Hol-
brook and j. II. Allen have issued a no.
tice that application will be made to the
next general assembly to lay tax on the
the grand list for the purpose Of erecting
the new building.
The jail now in use is of the type called
the merry-go-round. 1t Is oldfashioned and
the attempted escape of Thomas Flaherty
last May revealed the fact that the steel
had become so corroded and eaten by rust
that 1t was an easy matter for prisoners to
work their way out. The sanitary arrange
mentS are also poor,
An investigation was made to determine
the cost Of repairing the building and 1t
was found that the expense would be over
$|'VW ana that even then the building would
not be suitable nor large enough for the
use OF the county. An expert was called
upon to submit plans and he will be in
burlington within a few days to make n
dennite proposition. From advices received
from him 1t is estimated that a new struc-
ture adequate for the needs of the county.
can De erected at cost of $1,000 The
merry-go-round will be disposed Of, the Jail
proper Will be enlarged and the cells will
pe arranged about a corridor. There will
be IL cells on the lower floor and IL on the
upper The womens quarters will not be
ei'oieu ana the mouse attached to the Jail
Tor the sheriff Will not be repaired The
steel that is in the present jail will be sold
ana the amount received from that will be
deducted from the S. CO.,
Inc question of whether the people of
burlington wish to have the Jail moved to
some other location so that the city mar
ket lot can be cleared is now open in de-
mite form and the change can be made at
less expense than at any other time. Tho
county authorities are willing to consider
any proposition that the people Of the city
may offer.

WILL HAVE MORE OPERATORS
New England Telephone Company to
Enlarge Switchboard.

Owing to the rapid increase in business,
the New England Telephone II Telegraph
Co will enlarge their switchboard In this
city so that six additional operators can
be employed. The work will be begun i'm
mediately and will be completed by October
10. The new operators will not all be Sc
cured at once but be engaged as rapidly as
the business warrants,
At present there are over 900 subscribers
in Burlington and the prospect is that the
1000 mark will be reached soon. The in
crease In operators does not effect the toll
line business but simply the local work
When the operating room was moved to
the third floor of the Y. NJ. c. A. building
future enlargement was considered so

Without Reciprocity.

In sizing up Cuban liberty
the Atlanta (Ga,) Constitution
tritely says:
President Roosevelt deserves
fullest praise for his attitude in
favor of reciprocity with Cuba.
He has pressed the matter on
congress and the country with
eloquent insistence. The coun.
try through the press and many
convention resolutions, has re.
sponded without any partisan
division in hearty endorsement
of his demands. His only fault
IN the whole matter has been
his failure to secure Cuban reel
procity because he could not
get it as partisan measure and
party act. He could have had
it months ago if he had been
willing to accept it as non
partisan measure enacted with
the aid of democratic votes.
Now, however, the duty is up
to him in d fashion that he can
only avoid by devoting Cuba to
ruin involving the United States
in a conflict for the re-occupa-
ton and permanent control of
the island. and thereby imper.
ling his own fame with the
honest people of America and
the world!
