The board of prison commissioners

thorized advertisements for the con-
struction of the same. Each of the ad-
ditional cells will be constructed so us
to accommodate four prisoners, thus

ditional cells and rooms were provided
for by the special session of the lcgis-
lature. The commissioners have also
decided to complete the stone wall
