To this COLONY we might safely and wise
~ add a number OF persons. particularly
the young at the city Jail, many OF
whom are able, and ought to be made
to perform sufficient physical labor To
supply their own food. The percentage OF
persons at the jail who could be made
self-sustalning by this means, have no
doubt is high, and some of the wisest
men In this community do not hesitate
to express their disapproval OF the FREE
arency and constnncy With which Jail
sentences follow the commission Of
petty crime. Surely 1t is gu stionablc
whether we have the right 10 regard II
matter In all OF these cases. 1t Ia possible.
and probable. that hard labor out OF
doors and rt,der proper conditions would

two cases OF sclf-destruction at this In
stituton which might have been pre-
vented but for the lack OF the facilities
above suggested.
The Council should also make some
provision ut the city Home for the sep
arate and scientific treatment OF the
numerous cases OF tuberculosis which arc
always there. It Is certainly unjust, and
perhaps cruel, to the other inmates to
keep them In dangerous association with
tuberculosis patients, and neglect at this
