COUNTY
 JAIL INSANlTARY
Dr. Oates Orders Prisoners Be Re- moved to the Bastile at
 Huntsville

Montgomery, October S--(Special.l- Following an examination of the Jackson county jail at Scottsboro, pr. w. II. Oates, state prison inspector, has ordered the removal of the prisoners from that jail to the Madison county jail at Hunts vile, and has instructed the board of commissioners of Jackson county to take immediate steps looking to the repair of the old prison or the erection of new one.
 pr Oates described the Jackson county jail as being entirely unsuitable for the confinement of prisoners. being insani- tary. dirty and lacking in various other facilities. He has ordered the immediate removal of the prisoners to the jail at Huntsville.
 In addition to his report on the Jackson county jail, which was submitted to Governor O'Neal Tuesday, Dr. oates fur nished the governor with reports on the Morgan county jail, the Limestone coun- ty jail and the Madison county jail.
 His reports on the Madison county jail had to do with the crowded condition of the old prison, which Dr. Oates said con tained too many prisoners. At the time of his inspection of this prison the new portion of the jail was nearly completed, which, according to Dr. Oates. will give ample room for the confinement of all county prisoners,
 pr. Oates made several recommends lions with reference to improvements at the Limestone and Morgan county jails. which he declared to be unclean, insani- tary and lacking in other respects It is that all his recommendations with reference to these county bastiles will be carried out.
