ed by Supervisor Theleen:
To the Honorable Members of the Sen
ate and Assembly of the State Of
Wisconsin:
We, the undersigned members of the
County Board Of Supervisors of Ken
osha County, Wisconsin, being of the
firm belief that there are some unfor-
tunate inmates within the hospitals for
the care of chronic insane, for the
State CT Wisconsin, who are without
friends to aid and care for them while
under parole and having been informed
that under the existing statutes of the
State of Wisconsin, there is no provi-
sion for the examination and parole of
such unfortunate insane patients.
Therefore, we respectfully petition
your honorable body and ever pray
that at your next regular session you
will formulate and pass a satisfactory
law providing for commission, to be
composed of one civilian and two phys
icians, for examination into the mental
condition of those unfortunates who
may be sane but for the want of
friends to aid them are confined in
Hospitals for the Chronic Insane.
And we further recommend that the
aforesaid commission make annual Wis
its to the several institutions for the
care of chronic insane of the State of
Wisconsin, for the examination Of such
patients as may require their attention.

Mr. r. TT. Jones, County Clerk,

Dear Sir:--
About a year ago the writer visited
your city and consulted with yourself
and a special committee of the County
Board with reference to plan for re-
modelling your county jail. Later a
plan for that purpose was submitted to
this Board and finally approved by
them.
We would like to have you call the
attention of the County Board to this
matter and to state to them that this
Board regards it as absolutely neces-
sary that these plans for remodeling be
undertaken at once; that we cannot
consent to the use of the jail in its
present condition as tramp-house and
city lookup. We had understood that
there was a definite move to make these
changes and trust that there will be no
delay in carrying them out.
Respectfully,
State Board of Control,

Report.

10 the Honorable Board Of Supervisors
of Kenosha County.
Gentlemen:-
We, your committee appointed for
the purpose of securing plans and
specifications for new county jail, beg
leave to report as follows. From out
lines furnished by your committee, of
the proposed building, Architect Lindl
drew plans that provided eight new
cells, a new tramp room, the present
tramp room to be fitted for Juvenile
prisoners, extra windows in old Jail,
and a new system Of ventilation. The
cost of the building complete was es-
timated at eleven thousand dollars.
Supervisor Betting took the plans to
Madison, and presented them to the
State Board of Control in session. The
plans, however, did not meet with the
approval of said Board.
Mr.. Allan Conover of the Board came
to Kenosha on April 10th, and with
your committee, thoroughly inspected
the present Jail, and at that time gave
the committee and architect outlines
and suggestions in connection with the
proposed building, that would meet
with the approval of the State Board.
The estimated cost of the building com
plete under this plan is eighteen thous-
and dollars. We herewith present the
plans and specifications for your CON
sideration.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitteed.
