Report ON jail,
The board examined the Jail pursuant to
law ana rendered the following ep0rt
The board of county commissioners of
Bottineau county. recommend that, in the
opinion of this board, a new building
should be constructed by said county, to
be used for a Jail and sheriff's residence.
for the following reasons:
!. The present jail in the basement of
the court house is not a safe and secure
place.
z 1t Is ~unsanitary.
4 There is need of the space at present
devoted to jail purposes for additional
vault room for the storing of the various
records in the court house.
The county commissioners have reach.
ed this conclusion because they believe
that 1t Ia impossible to remodel the present
jail. even at great expense. so as to cure
the defects above set forth.
