DEFER ACTION ON
 JAIL, SAYS SHAPIRO
Writes to Board of Revenue Saying Action By Coming Legislature
 Might Relieve Situation

The board of revenue has received ( letter from Isadore Shapiro, one ot
 the representatives of Jefferson coun.
 ty at the next legislature in which he
 suggests that owing to probable leg
 islation the board should take no fur
 ther steps toward the erection of a
 new county jail until the adjournment
 Of the incoming legislature He states
 the measures he has in mind Is law comforting upon the court of common pleas Jurisdiction over msdemeanor
 cases. lengthening the term of ths
 criminal court and the elimination oi
 the fee system Ho believes that with
 the passage of these laws the present
 jail could be made habitable for the prisoners. He is silent on the ''car- buncle."
 The board took no action on the let
 ter yesterday and will probably dis ouss it with pr. W. H. Oates at the next conference in reference to the plans for the new jail. The letter says: T am of the opinion that the board Of revenue should take no further steps toward the erection of new
 jail until the adjournment of the next Legislature. There is every indication that legislation will be enacted reliev ing the crowded jail situation; par ticrlarly I have in mind these meas ures:
 ~, law comforting upon the Bir- mingham court of common pleas jur- isdiction over misdemeanor. cases. This
 would obviate to very considerable |extent the necessity for confinement in |the county jail for an unreasonablc length of time awaiting trial A mis- demeanor offender could be given q trial in the Birming gharp Court of com mon pleas within a very few days. Al present this court has no such juris- diction.

 "3 The elimination of the fee sys- tenn which will greatly destroy the in- centive for frivolous arrests, so that
 under a salary system unnecessary ar
 rests will not be made and thus the
 capacity of the present jail win not

 much with effect and have not been attentive enough to cause Our efforts should be directed toward keeping peo pc out of jail instead of keeping
