While the bureau of internal

Many persons, without even taking

This necessitates a number of

A lever lock device is to be in
stalled as an added protective
measure on the cage entrance at
the Rock Island county Jail
Power to install such a system
al cost not exceeding $3.50 was
delegated to the committee on pub
lie expenditures by resolution
at yesterday afternoons session
the Rock Island county board OF
supervisors. General discussion
resulted in this action being taken
following talks made to the board
by Sheriff John G. Miller and var
ious of the supervisors pointing
out the vital necessity for such a
safety device.
The new feature will provide
s. for automatic opening and closing
Of the two CRATE doors leading into
the "bull-pen" of the jai. from the
Jail office, where levers will con-
troll the operation of the locks.
The turnkey takes his life in
HIS hands every time he turns IN
q prisoner" declared Sheriff Mil
Ter. He must attend to this per-
6onally by first unlocking the outer
of the two CRATE doors leading into
the small square cage which is i'm
mediately before a second crate
door opening to the bull-pen. Then
he must lock the first one behind
him and unlock the last door
through which the prisoner enters
the jail proper. All this is mighty
dangerous business.
The new lever lock device will
permit the admittance of a pris-
oner without personal attendance.
Tho two CRATE doors may then be
opened and closed by means of
levers in the Jail office and by
means of new locks contemplated
to lock and unlock automatically.
The present locks on the CRATE
doors while serviceabIe. are very
easy to pick. Besides. discov-
