Men still under thirty since they be.

years. There is no comparison be-
tween the New York OF today, and
especially the New York Of the finan.

ago. More remarkable even than the
physical change is the growth Of Office
accommodation and the increase of
the demand with the supply.
In one Of the great buildings of
Broad street some FIVE thousand per.
sons are employed daily. The dozen
or more three and four-story houses
demolished to make place for II prob.
ably did not shelter much more than
one-tenth OF that number. And yet

THE NEW illL

The work Of installing the old
cells on the upper floor Of the new
Jail is completed and that part Of
the building will be ready for use
as soon as the necessa ny plumbing
for the baths and toilets is COM
plered. There are FIVE cells for
men. each of which will accom-
modate four prisoners, and three
cells for women, which furnish
accommodations for six prisoners.
One of the mems cells is built so
hat it can be turned in a
dungeon for unruly prisoners on
short notice. 81
In the mems portion of this part
of the Jail is a shower bath and
toilet. In the part set aside for
women is a bath tub and toilet.
The women's quarters are separated
from the mems ward by steel plates
and wire lath. the lattre being
plastered. The women's cells open
on corridc:- and extend back to
the west wall of the bail. Barred
windows openin each cell. Though
the cells are small they are neat
and pleasant. :,
In addition to the Jail part of
the upper story. there is kitchen,
pantry, room for a padded cell
and a room that can be used for
guard quarters if a guard is ever
found necessary on this floor.
The lower floor of the building
contains the sheriff's offices, the
jailer's room and the main Jail.
This part Of the Jail will contain
twelve cells. Six of these cell.
are installed and the other SIX
will be put in next year, or when
needed. When the cells are COM
pleted, the Jail will accommodate
SO prisoners without crowding.
The Finch Jail, Metal and Build
ing Company fitted up the Jail and
the work has been in charge of
Mr.. L. F. Leadbetter. the companys
representative. Everything about
the work seems to be first-class in
every way, and it does not look
possible for prisoner, locked in a
cell, to di g out or escape in any
way.
Mr.. Leadbetter completed the
work this forenoon and turned the
Jail over to the commissioners.
He left for his home in San Fran
cisco on No. 3 this afternoon.
