CONSTRUCT JAIL
CLOSE TO CORNER
COURT" PLAN FOR NEW $4,000
BUILDING NOT FAVORED BY
BUILDING COMMITTEE.
-Four Members of Body Are to Make
Trip to Crown Point, Ind, and
Also Visit Chicago.

Uuless there is a change of opinion
among the members of the special Jail
building committee of the county
board. the new $4,000 building will
be erected near the northwest corner
OF the courthouse square facing Sec
ond avenue and Fourteenth street.
The committee in session at the
court house yesterday had presented
TO them by il architect, c. ID. McLane.
three sets OF plans. One which did
not seem popular was on the Court
plan. advocated by John Whiteman,
superintendent OF the house of correc-
ton in Chicago.
The committee looked with more
favor on two other plans, both of the
"straight-away" type. with the Jail i'm
mediately at the rear of the sheriff S
residence. Some of the committee
have been insisting that the new build
ing should be placed in the middle of
the block. facing Fourteenth street,
in which case the rear OF the jail would
be in close proximity with the west
entrance of the court house and the
sheriff's Office. which is still to remain
at the southwest corner of the county
building.
Il is intimated that a majority Of
the committee favor bringing the Jail
nearer Second avenue. and facing it
on that street. Supervisor S R
Wright who has been leading the agi-
tation for the middle of the block
site. declares that it would be a mis-
take 20 place the institution on so
public a thoroughfare and that it would
give the prisoners too much of an OPP
portunity to get into communication
with the world. He contends that the
noise which the inmates would make
tend 20 interfere with the services at
St. Joseph's church on the opposite
corner.
The plans We're only considered in
formally and no definite action was
taken. The committee also heard rep
resentatives OF the Van Dorm com
pany. manufacturers OF Jail cells.
Another Jaunt Planned.
on next Tuesday or Wednesday a
committee OF four members of the
building committee will take another
trip of inspection this time visiting
the jail at Crown Point. Ind. A new
bastiIe has been constructed there.
which is said to be the most modern
in the central west.
On the return from there, the com
mittee will visit the house of correc-
ton in Chicago. The committee is
composed of J. c. Burgoyne. chairman
of the building committee; John Lip
ton, chairman of the county board;
Charles Kerns. secretary of the build
ing committee and Leslie Hanna.
