Sheriff Meredith Says that if
the County Would Supply
Work for Prisoners, Would
Help Some.
A WORK HOUSE NOT
NEEDED, HE STATES
At Little Cost, Prisoners Can
Be Kept Busy Cracking
Stone, Which Could Be
Used on Highways.

Issue is taken by sheriff Linus
Meredith. tie present custodian of the
coEnty isii. with tho statements OF
councilman w. II. Bartel. who claims
that a workhouse should be built in
the Sixth district so that prison lie
would not be SO popular with hobos
and confirmed jail birds, consequently
reducing the operating expenses OF
the county institution The council
man proposed the construction CT a
district workhouse at the council; meet
ing on Monday evening.
There is no necessity for work-
house in the district said the sheriff.
In the first place it is a question
whether the nine counties in the dis
trict, as it is now composed, would
have prisoners enough to make a
workhouse profitable. Furthermore,
my books will show that the Jail is
no more crowded during the winter
months than ether seasons; in fact, it
seems, the greater rush for admit.
tance is during the summer months,
for l remember on quite a number of
occasions that my report for the sum-
mer months showed there were more
persons confined then than during the
winter months"
Should Have Some Work.
THAT the prisoners out to be kept
at work is question in which hearth
ly concur" he continued. Personal
ly believe that If the county would
purchase stone, the prisoners could be
kept busy for ten hours a day during
each Of the working days of the year.
The city does not furnish enough stone
to keep them busy now. There is
nothing else for them to do and that
is why they. find time to play cards
loaf and have a general good time in
the corridor of the Jail There are a
few prisoners who are not even af
forded this privilege"
Being an advocate Of good roads, the
sheriff is particularly strong on the
proposition of the county purchasing
rock from the New Paris or some
other quarry and cracking it at the
jail 1t could be hauled to the jail
at low rate, he believes, and after
being cracked hauled away by the road
supervisors of the different districts
In view of the fact that load oi
cracked stone is equal to five oi
gravel. the sheriff believes that the
cost, including the original cost of the
stone and its hauling, would be less
than now spent for gravel
