FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER s.

Speaking of the management of
Middlesex county affairs the Newark
Evening News, last night, said:
Almost as s%candalous as the conduct
Of the Middlesex county freeholders
in the building of the Perth Amboy
bridge, is the same officials method
of mending the county Jail. The
bridge has been three years in process
of building and might be three years
longer under their disreputable nurs-
ing, but for the fact that a new board
will soon take the place of the old
one. The Jail, however, has been in
a condition of dilapidation and mex
cusable weakness for many years.
Whenever the prisoners get tired
of staying in it they break out. This
they have done SO long and so fire.
quently that the Middlesex county Jail
mas become the laughing stock OF
criminals and a disgrace to this state.
IL is repaired, of course, after every
jail delivery, but it is not made Sc
cure. Last week two or three prison
ers went out by cutting a hole in the
tin roof, in exactly the same spot
where a prisoner effected his escape
last year. This shows how well the
roof had been repaired by the free
holders at the expense of the taxpay-
-. The jail officials happened to be
Watching and caught one of the escap-
ing men on the roof behind a chimney
and he was sent to prison for one year,
though he desired another chance in
the Jail. The manner in which the
Middlesex county Jail is repaired is Of
a piece with the freeholders' manage
ment of other county affairs.
