in the circuit court on indictments re-
turned against them. In view of the
inadequate facilities provided by the
county Jail for caring for large num-
Der of prisoners, the number is aston
ishing. AS a rule there are between
co and 80 prisoners in Jail. and the
Jail was designed to accommodate
about $50 prisoners annually. At
least the facilities are but little better
now than in the days of old when but
that number of prisoners were boarded
by the sheriff in years time

BIRTHS EXCEED THE
NUMBER OF DEATHS
Records of County Clerk Show 1859
Children Born and 633 Lives
Brought to a Close.

The records of the county clerks
office show that the number of births
in the year has been greatly in excess
of the number of deaths recorded. The
records. for various reasons, are not
completed to date, but they show APP
proximately the conditions in the
year. The physicians reports show
1,1Gs births in IL months. as compared
to 633 deaths in the county during the
same time.
To be sure the figures in themselves
do not signify a great deal, but even
allowing for heavy death rate among
the children whose births We're record
ed, and the conclusion must certainly
be drawn that the ratio will still speak
for an increase in population, aside
from the increases resulting from the
smmigration to the country of people
from other sections.

TO CONNECT Them
Improvement Of Cross Streets
Suggested to Complete the
Down Town Paving Work.
NEED NO INTERSECTIONS
Plan Should Meet Favor, Because
There Would Be Mo General Ex-
pense In Its Execution.

The city during 1907 made consid-
cradle progress in the way of public
improvements in the way of paving.
and in 1908 the program of the admin
istration might be devised to include
a number of short stretches which may
be improved without cost to the city
by reason of intersections, and which,
II improved, will connect up the paw
ing system in the central part OF
the city. There are a number of these
cross streets, and as the suggested
paving would not necessitate the lay
ing of intersections by the city, the
expense would be entirely borne by
the assessment.
A Few Suggested.
A few of these stretches suggested
for Improvement under the 1908 con.
tracts are Fifth avenue between Nine
tteenth and Twenty-third streets
(boulevardD; Sixth avenue be
tween Twentieth and Twenty
first streets and between Twenty
second and Twenty-fourth streets;
Eighth avenue between Seventeenth
and Nineteenth streets and Twentieth
and Twenty-first streets; and Ninth
avenue between Twentieth and Tween
ty-fourth streets.
The city is already planning the i'm
provement of Twenty-third street from
