sidered by the commission.
Although there was to have been a
meeting this afternoon, with members

partment of the Rock Island Woman's
club. it was postponed on account of
the inability of all members TO be

While 1t is likely that Mr. Newman

definitely assured. He probably will
give much-needed information TO the
commission and the committee OF the
woman's club and those interested in
the ordinance feel It is fortunate that
the city can secure the benefits of his
knowledge.

I'VE have been planning on having
Mr.. Newman address us, as others
have talked to US in the past, at an
open meeting of the club.

time during the fore part of March. It
IS not as yet definitely known when.
There was but one member of the com
mittee who could be present at the
meeting this afternoon. and so we ask
ed that it be postponed.
The mayor and commissioners
have been very nice to us and we APP
preciate all that they have done. At
this time we do not want the idea
that the commission is not
proceeding properly and for that rea-
son bringing Mr.. Newman here. In

AS for the garbing of the prisoners

as is the plan in vogue in many of the

COMMITTEE STATE REQUIRES
REINFORCED CONCRETE.
Matter Is Being Investigated and No
Further Action viii Be Taken IN
til Data Are Received.

The mystery OF the correspondence
between the special Jail building com
mittee and state officials was cleared
today and agitation among a few of
the members relative to garbing the
prisoners in specially designed cos
tunes to maintain a strict sanitation
at the proposed new bastile also be-
came known.
When Herbert Deere, Chicago arch
itect, addressed the committee Monday
afternoon he toll the members some
things with which it had not been
familiar but further than that this in
formation meant considera Bile letter
writing, no details were given out yes
terday.
Today it was learned that Mr.. Deere
had informed the committee that con-
crete walls between the cells were re-
quired, according to state laws. The
committee had been planning on steel
cells.
State Must o. K, Plans.
Mr.. Deere said that three sides of
the cells had TO be reinforced concrete,
four inches in thickness. The com
mittee has been working on the plan
of steel walls one-haIf inch in thick
ness.
He explained that the state required
the concrete walls as means of bet
ter sanitation and that the plans for
the new building would have to be APP
proved by the state before the con-
tract is let. He also told the commit |
tee that there were about 81 county |
jails in the state so equipped. In its |
visits in the west, all of the buildings |
inspected had steel cells.
Naturally the committee is now in |
curing as to the foundation for these |
statements and the secretary has writ /
ten to state officials. Correspondence /
also has been taken up with county 4.
officials in places where new jails have
been built with concrete walls.
In the event that it is fully determ-
med that the concrete walls are man
latory according TO state require
nents, then the plans of the committee
will have to be changed and it may
mean another inspection trip TO some
,ity in illinois where a new jail has
leen erected.
II is expected that by Saturday
when the committee again meets at
he court house that definite informa-
ion will be on hand in regard to the
lew plan.
