Improvement Of The Jail.

Mr.. Frank Holcombe representing
the Southern Structural Steel Co. OF
San Antonio, Texas arrived in the cit y
the past week and is now experimenting
the overhauling of the county Jail. His
company secured the contract on
competitive bids and MI. Holcombe
is now at work on the old Jail
building with the view of making OF 1t
a more modern, secure and comfortable
prison. The entire building will be over
hauled. On the inside the walls will be
gone over and replastered where ne
cessary; all the old steel cells will be
re-painted; there will be two additional
saw and file proof felon sells up stairs
with the view of accommodating eight
prisoners. On the lower floor there
will be three new female cells which
will accommodate six prisoners. The
light cells now upstairs will be carried
below and fitted up for insane inmates
who are confined before being carried
to the insane hospitals. The plumbing
of the entire building will be done with
the view of improving the sanitary
condition which has been bad. This
feature of Jail building and ~jailkeeping
is one of the most difficult problems and
no effort will be spared to make of the
Jail a clearly and healthy one.
The entire outside will be succeed
and marked off so as to have the ap-
pearance of a stone building. 1t will
require about sixty days within which
to complete the work.
Mr.. Holcombe comes highly recon-
mended and goes to work with the de-
termination to give the county a first
class job. The board of supervisors
have retained the services Of MIR. H. E..
High to overlook the work as it pro-
crosses. Mr.. High has had consider
able experience along this line and will
faithfully look after the county's in
