DEMANDS CLEANER JAiLS.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 2. - DR.. Willis
Valley, chief sanitary inspector Of the
state, has addressed letters to every
district attorney in the state, request
ing them to send him the court dates
in the various counties, so that he may
be able to be in those counties where
he has not been successful in securing
the necessary improvements to make
the jails conform to the regulations
Of the state board of health, and take
such action as he thinks advisable.
The letter of DR.. VALLEY to the dis
trict attorneys in part is as follows:
Il have visited a number of jails Of
the state. | regret to note the very
insanitary condition Of a large mum
Der of both city and county iails and
from what | am able to gather I fear
that it will be necessary to take some
legal proceedings in few Of the coun-
ties to get the jails properly lighted
and ventilated.
Some of the jails, find, have been
built for a number Of years and are
very dark, poorly ventilated and some
few, regret to say, are veritable fire
traps, which condition, as you know
should not exist
