Not Intended for Publication.

The article in the Norwich Bulletin of last Monday morning was no doubt due to the ever present reporters anx- lety for scoop. On Sunday as I was attending to some church matters, and with thoughts for them alone, the re- porter for the Bulletin asked me three or four questions to which thought lessly replied, and then realizing that publication from the chairman of the committee. I asked the reporter to not publish anything from me, but to see Mr. Taylor for information which he promised to do. At a committee meet ing held the day the article appeared I explained this to the committee, and later the reporter told me that he told MT. Taylor the same thing
 have no apology to offer for Mr. Sheldon or his ability. His work is with us in the Industrial building, which both MT. Hirsch and Mir Rossi have told me is the best one they have The addition to the Windham Silk company is his work also.
 If schoolhouse architects only can plan schoolhouses (and the former high school is a sample of the plan ming of firm of the most prominent amongst them), then I believe we should be delivered from the hands of schoolhouse architects
 In closing let me say that I gain nor lose not one penny, save in tax ation alone, no matter whose plans are selected.
 Yours truly,

 We would further add that our de- sign is strictly fireproof, while our competitors design can be called only semi-fireproof, and in this connection we believe that in view of the fact that from the beginning we contemplated a fireproof building. while such build Ing was only an after thought of our competitors; this point should be giv- en due consideration.

meeting of the trustees of the Brooklyn Savings bank, this being a regular meeting. is scheduled for Mon day. An official of the bank when asked about the matter Thursday af- ternoon, said that something would probably be said at the meeting rel ative to the plan to remove the bank to the West Side in Danielson, but in the town of Brooklyn, as it was voted to do a few months ago in case the legislature refused the bank a charter amendment that would allow it to To- cate in Danielson, on the Killingly side, but he could not anticipate what ac- ton would be taken.

POCATELLO. Ida, April 16.-Owing to
the insanitary condition OF the Baunock
county jail here. seven prisoners who
have been serving varying sentences IN
| the Jail were this morning removed to the
jail at st. Anthony. Fremont county, This
act follows the report OF Sanitary lnspec-
tor Wallis to the grand jury, the report
of the grand jury and another report
made yesterday TO the county commits
sloners by Wallis. The county commits
sloners called In Probate Judge Bell and
the Judge issued an order commanding
that the prisoners confined in the Jail
held there until their terms are expired
and that the county commissioners shall
pay the expenses Of such prisoners as
long as they remain In the other jail to
the Fremont county authorities.
In the inspection yesterday it was found
that the bedding was old and dirty, some
infested with yernin, and that the whole
jail was In a very inSantary condition.
The following recommendations were
First, that the walls of the jail be re-
paired and Whitewashed and that the
floors be kept scrubbed; second, that the
dirty and vernin- infested bedding In use
by the prisoners be destroyed; third, that
the old clothes stuffed in the broken Win
dows be replaced with glass. fourth. that
washing be furnished the prisoners so as
to avoid the use OF the bath tubs for this
purpose; fifth. that prisoners be COM
PEELED to battle at regular times. sixth
that the sheriff employ his prisoners as
the law directs, in maintaining their
quarters in clean and sa anitary condl
ton; seventh. that the receptaces fast
cucd on the outside of the cages and used
by the prisoners for splttoons be re-
moved; eighth, that In furnishing new
pillows and mattresses, they can be pro-
vided with slips which can be removed
and cleaned: ninth. that until a new
county jail Is built, no more than ten
prisoners be confined at any one time,
tenth ~that seven Of the prisoners now
under sentence be removed TO tho Jail

Communication

Editor Tribune:
find on the editorial page of yester-
days issue of your paper letter from
my lonored friend and comrade. Ogden
Hiles. in which lie criticises the last ses-
sion OF the Utah leGisla ture for its failure
10 pass the bill to provide for a COM
mission to eXpend the appropriation made
TO pay the travelling expenses of the old
union and confederate soldiers residing In
Utah, to and from the coming peace cele-
hration In July OF the fiftIeth anniver-
sary OF the battle of Gettysburg,
He says: THE suggestion received a
pretense of recognition, but was indeed g
nored by characteristic act of hypocrisy
and finesSe.'
My friend Is incapable of being inten-
tionally unjust and had he been better in
formed of the facts. feel quite sure that
he would not have indulged in what l feel
is an unjust criticism OF the motives of
the legislature Having been an active
member of the G.. a, r. committee which
was charged with the duty of presenting
the matter to the governor and legislature
and having assisted In drafting the bill.
am In q position to know the facts
When the committee waited upon the
governor and requested him to- recon-
mend the appropriation in his message,
he willingly and cordially promised TO do
50. and he kept his promise, When the
bill providing FOR the commission came
before the senate, 1t was passed with but
one dissenting vote. When II reached the
house, ] made canvass OF the members
and found no opposition expressed, but.
on the contrary, enthusiastic approval and
promises of support.
The item was placed in the general APP
preparation bin and passed both houses,
In the hurry bur!y of the last few days
OF the session the excitement and Confu-
sion among the members of the house was
extreme and some hostility epgendered,
from cause which do not understand,
against the senate, In this condition. ag-
gravated by the mad determination TO ad-
iourn on the sixtieth day OF tine session,
not only the Gettysburg commission bill,
but more than a score of other most I'M
portant and desirable bills failed to reach
a vote. and therefore failed of passage,
That there was no hostility toward or de-
llberate intention TO defeat this BILL am
fully satisfied,
The appropriation OF $35 900 by the Utah
legislature In 1899 toward the expense OF
entertaining the mai tional encampment OF
the G. A, r. In this city In that year and
the law providing for the proper burial OF
old soldiers at the public expense should
be some Indication OF the patriotism or
the people OF Utah and in some measure |
at least. tend to protect them from the
charge OF lack OF patriotism and OF slnis- |
ter motives In failing TO pass the bill re- |
ferred to. Utah has been hospita Bile |
