right to construct the type of building
between Twentieth and Twenty-first
streets. The building will be modern in
every detail, 1t will be thoroughly fireproof,
but there were some details of the con-
struction which did not come quite up to
the demands of the city in connection
with buildings, so it was necessary to
get the special legislation.
The commissioners and A. " Bennett,
chief of the fire department, were con-
WINGED of the equity in the claims of
Carroll Blake, the contractor: Harry
Wheelock. the architect, and the owners
of the building, hence the readiness In the
special legislation.
In connection with construction activ-
tiles here 1t would seem as if DR.. Will
liam II. Oates, state prison inspector, had
reached the limit of patience in regard to
the county Jail, and that the county will
be forced to build a new Jail. The board
of revenue, after talk with DR.. Oates,
requested Harry b. Wheelock, county
architect, to prepare plans for the con-
struction of a new jail and also alterna-
tive plans for the construction of addi-
lions or repairs for the present Jail. 1t
is believed that a new Jail will be re-
CURED of the county by DR.. Oates, and
that it will be constructed within the COM
ing few months. The jail if constructed
will cost more than $250,0O0.
The new Jail or the complete removal
ton of the present one and the probability
of college to be established by the
Methodist Episcopal church, south, were
the principal developments of an abso-
