JAIL WELL MANAGED.
Judge Matthswson's Own County Would Oppose Change to State Con- trol.

The proposition accredited to Judge A. McC. Matthawson of New Haven, that the management of the county 3ails be turned over to the state for control will not make much of hit in Windham county Whatever may be fhe case in other counties in Connecti- cut, here in Wildhanl Judge Matthew son's own county for his parents home Is still in Woodstock, the man. a~ement of the affairs of the Brooklyn jail under the county commissioners and the county sheriff and his jailer end the latter's assistants is so excel lent. and has been SO for years, that the iudge's suggestion is entitled to no more than passing notice and very . probably will receive no more than that
 Anyone who is sufficiently interest cd in the proposition as it would af- feet Windham county will find by ref erence tO the annual reports of the Windhsm county commissioners that the Brooklyn jail is made to show a profit each year. and usually a big one. although it is true that 1t receives state aid as it would continue to do under state control. it is assumed.
 The reports show that the Windham county jail is conducted and maintain ed on highly efficient basis. An un- warranted attempt to disprove this claim. about three years ago. resulted in deserved fizale, the charges falling f'atter than pancake before the real facts.
 Now. after having Windham county men who have shown that they are as thoroughly competent to discharge the duties devolving upon them that there is nothing but praise 10 be given their work, it isn't reasonable to assume that Che people who live in the territory that makes up the northeastern corner Of Connecticut are going to tumble over themselves to support plan that calls for the taking of authority away from the county and giving it into the hands of the state. This also applies so the management of the county home.
 Judge Matthewson will have his own county lined up against him on this proposition. which may be perfectly sensible for some other parts of Con uccticut.
