CITY JAIL POPULAR
PLACE; INMATES CAN
VIEW PICTURE SHOW

There are lot Of uncomfortable
phases in being confined in some jails,
but the city jail IS not numbered
among those in which inmates find
Jail life irksome. In fact, some Of
those who have been on the inside OF
the city jail looking out, recently,
have expressed themselves as thor
ouehly pleased with the diver
tisement that IS afforded an IN
mate if he assumes the correct pose
during the evening While ON the wrong
side of the barred windows
OF late prisoners have been standing
close to the window, with their eyes
strained sedulously toward the Tulane
Airdome, just across the street,
where they are afforded a partial view
of the films projected on the screen.
And the fame OF the city Jail as a
place of amusement, even though 4
prisoner j. held under duress, must
have spread, for whenever a city ward
is lodged IN the bastile he can be seen
during the evenings of his confne
ment with face averted toward the
movie show.

Born of one of New York; oldest

as a boy every advantage of a bio

Spanish American war and came out

by marriage to Mary DAILY, daughter

The remainder of the bridges on the
state Highway will be constructed
next year, at a cost which Commits
sioner Darlington estimates at about
100000
Assistant Division Engineer Cor
telyou states that if the bridge over
Bullhead Slough IS to be included in
this years work, the total cost of
all the structures en- the State High

However, If only the Myers Canyon
bridge is constructed this year, the
cost of the remaining structures viii
reach only about $4,000
"A new structure over Bullhead
Slough will not he built this year."
Supervisor Shepard said. AT pres
cnt there is substantial wood
en- structure, supported by heavy pill

no immediate necessity of new
