.HOUCHTON JAIL
AMONG THE BEST
CHAIRMAN EDWARDS REPORTS
SANITARY CONDITION CON-
PAREs FAVoRAslY WITH
OTHER COUNTIES.

That Houghton county's Jail COM
pares favorably with those OF at least
four other counties in the upper PEN
insula, Is the substance OF the report
presented TO the board OF supervis-
ors at its meeting this morning by
Chairman A. d. Edwards who has
been investigating conditions in 9TH
or counties throughout this section.
While il Is generally admitted that
more ground and building room rs
needed, the arrangement of the Jail
and the management are fully as good
as those in other counties.
In all four counties. Chairman Ed
wards found conditions similar To
those in this county and at least two
are planning jail improvements in
the near future Mr.. Edwards. how
ever. expressed the opinion that the
Houghton county bastile is even more
sanitary than those found i'm some
other counties. and he seemed unable
To understand why the state board of
charities and corrections should con-
utlllh lilc tituShA"H NVuiNN A4A9N''NNiNH
and say nothing about the jails in
other counties.
Mr.. Edwards was much impressed
with a padded cell found in the Mar
quette county Jail, which seems a big
Improvement over the form of cell
used in Houghton county, and he rec
commended to the Jail committee an
investigation with view OF possible
Improvement in the Houghton county
equipment.
In one county Mr. Edwards was
shown through the Jail by the sheriff's
wife. who informed him that the turn
key had been absent for several day
In another county with 10000 inhab-
itants, there were only IL prisoners
i'm the Jail, this ideal condition hav-
ing been brought about by a resolu-
ton passed by the county board max
ing ii necessary for all prisoners who
are physically able TO work upon the
roads of that county. In a third coun-
", Chairman Edwards found no pris.
oners at all. and the sheriff's son in
formed him that they had one prs
oner for three days about a week be-
fore the inspection. In that county
the sheriff received i'm addition to his
regularly salary of 800 per month
5000 per month for board for the pris
oners, heating the building and NOW
ing .he lawn.
Mr.. Edwards expressed the opinion
that dickinson county has the bes
arranged county building i'm the uppe
I peninsula, but that its Jail does no
compare very favorably with thos'
of other counties.
No action was taken by the boar'
! upon the report of its chairman.

REMOVING OBSTRUCTION.
Force Of Men Start Clearing Albion
Street, Near Dodge.

The work of removing the blun in
Albion street just west OF Dodge street
was started yesterday morning and Is
now well under way. The work is be-
ing done by a force of men working
for the village, instead Of having IL
taken out by contract as was the larg-
er bluff in South street.
The removal OF this street obstruc-
ton was made imperative at this time
as a result of the determination Of the
village trustees TO get large amount
OF cement sidewalk laid this summer
in the places where sidewalks are most
badly needed. This is one of these
olaces. as it Is in a block leading to
the Central school from the east and
is much used by those attending thai
school and others who live in that
part OF town. Accordingly, SuAfrin-
tendent Foley Of the public works de-
partment had his men remove that
portion of the bluff where the side
walk must be built
When this was done the result was
a trench about eight feet i'm depth and
the people whose homes front on that
norton OF the street have been getting
To and from their houses by the rear
entrances until Supt Foley by direc-
ton Of the council, had his men con-
struct a couple of bridges across tho
moat-like ditch which separated theil
properties from the thoroughfare
These residents appealed to the coun'
ell at the last meeting and it was or
dered that the street committee have
this portion Of Albion street leveled
off even with the other portions, tho
rock removed to be crushed and placed
on other portions Of the street where
most needed.
