Following is the grand jury's report of
the condition of the jail and their recon-
mendations fer new building;
We, the grand jurors within and for
said county of Caledonia, now here in
court duly empaneled and sworn, re-
spectfully submit to the Honorable
Court the following report regarding
the condition of the Jail within and for
the county of Caledonia, in accordance
with section 1921 of the Vermont
statutes. We have made a careful
examination of said Jail and find it to be
a strong and safe place for the keeping of
prisoners. We found the jail clean and
tidy, and that the prisoners in said Jail
confined are being given good care and
attention; and we feel that the jailer of
this county and his keeper of said Jail,
W. H. Worthen, should be commended
for the condition of said jail and of the
persons therein restrained. The Jail is
not properly ventilated, and its sanitary
conditions are bad and of such a char
acter that they cannot be easily remedied
and improved. Therefore, in view of
the facts above set forth, we respectfully
suggest and recommend that no repairs
be made upon said Jail, except such as
may become necessary on account of
ordinary wear and from ordinary
causes, and that new and more con-
yenient building be erected for the use of
Caledonia county as a jail, and that such
new structure be built on a site more
avorably located than the present Jail,
md that said new jail be completed as
Oon hereafter as convenient.
