SAN FRANCISCO CITY
JAIL NEAR COLLAPSE
NEW BUILDING LIKELY TO FALL
ANY MOMENT
Occupied by Municipal offices and
Headquarters, Cells Are Full of
Prisoners of Both
Sexes

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 23-The start
ling discovery was made today by City
Physician James Watkins that the new
city jail building at ga Eddy street is In
danger OF collapse and that the occu-
pancy of it is wholly unsafe.
The building was completed last Janu-
airy by the president of the police COM
mission, William Leahy, who rented 1t to
the city for $4,000 a year. 1t is occupied
jointly as the temporary city hall, police
headquarters and city jail. It's cells are
full of prisoners of both sexes.
DR.. Watkins today, in pursuance of his
duties of sanitary inspection, visited the
building. He emerged very grave
and startled man. He at once reported
to the building inspector that the place
was in a very unsanitary condition and
that an inspection in the basement
showed him the tubular iron pillars sup
porting the building had "buckled' and
looked as though they were about to give
way. An immediate inspection by the
official verified the report and this even
ing he Officially notified the board Of
public works that the building is unsafe
for life and should be vacated immedi-
ately."
