den d, c. McClung are having some
trouble IN determining the kind Of
cell buildings to construct at the Mis-,
souri, penitentiary. The last legisla
ture appropriated 100000 to con.
struct a cell building but the board
and warden apparently are unable to
decide what kind Of cells to have.
They have been visiting other
states to look at cell buildings War
den McClung and Auditor Gordon
went 10 McAiester, Ok, to sec a
building there. That trip bore no
fruit, so the board and McClung took
u up TO Saltwater, Mimi, and re-
turned with no plans.
This trip has been followed BY an
excursion TO New Jersey and Con.
necticut to view some cell structures
there. Upon this trip Warden Nc,
Chung is accompanied by State Audi
