 THE OLD CITY JAIL
Makes Many Rec0mmenda- tiOns for Improving San
 itary Conditions

Dr. w. II oates, state prison inspec- tor, was in the city yesterday and in spected the old city jail adjacent to the city hall. While this jail Is now only used to detain the city prisoners while awaiting trial in the recorders court and their period of detention rarely ex ceeds 24 hours, yet pr. Oates is strong in his condemnation of its filthy and insanitary condition. He states that the jail is dirty inside and out and also said the alleys around 1t were among the dirtiest in the city.
 pr oates recommends that the win dows be cleaned and the wire screening, with which they are covered, torn down. He states the inside of the jail should be thoroughly scraped and scrubbed and then given coat of paint He reeom- mends that the heating apparatus be thoroughly oyerhauled and renovated and that new bedding and bed clothey be installed He states the kitchen is attention at once, and that covers be provided for the garbage cans that stand by the kitchen door.
 ''The inside of the jail is dark and dreary," said pr. oates, and darkness and filth and disease go hand in hand. The white woman's department is the cleanest part of the jail but at that could be much improved. In the alley noticed pile of manure evidently from the fire department stables thrown against the walls of the jail, and while I was told this was removed daily some other disposition should be made of 1t. Judge Lane Is heartily in accord with the needed improvements and in the in- terest of health and humanity this should be done"
