nesday morning at 10 o'clock, to which
time the meet.ng was adjourned at
the conclusion of yesterday afternoons
session.
!. H. Rapp, architect of Las Vegas,
laid plans for the construction of the
new jail before the board These plans
were partially examined. The build
ing proposed by Mr.. Rapp Is Of the
mission style. This Is not liked by the
board and 1t is likely that new plans
will have to be drawn. The interior
arrangements Of the new jail building
according to the plans, seem to be
satisfactory. The board proposes to
ask for bids for jail to be con
structed of three different materials,
first, stone, second, brick. and third.
artificial stone, or cement.
