guardians of the peace, this city Is
confronted with the problem of how 70
house violators of the laws. Luckily
there are no male or female prisoners
here at this time but as there is but
one cell at the Court House, City
! Council is asking what would be done
with male and female transgressors. At
/ last nights session of Council seve al
of the members suggested placing a
partition in the one cell but as there is
no stove in the cell and the two beds
there need new mattresses, it was de-
cided to defer action on the partition
question. The stove and mattresses
/ win be secured. however, although
| Councilman Spiecher opposed buying
mattresses. There was also some OPP
position to buying a stove. as it was
claimed that two prisoners had broken
stoves in the past.
