the various buildings with the exception
of the county jail and pesthouse were
found in good condition. AS to the
county Jail the grand jury report sub
mitted to Judge j. ED Richards Friday
says:
This institution in our opinion,
should be laid on flatcars and sent to
Old Mexico. 1t is a disgrace to any
community. Memphis has far outgrown
a building of this character and it
should be replaced by more modern
structure and located near the court
house and police station"
Perry is complmented highly for hav-
ing done all possible to make an ade-
quate Jail out of the present building.

ARMSTRONG MAKES
STRONG CASE FOR

Further Investigation May Be

Report of Expenses.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 16. tSpl)-
Unless the state public utilities COM
mission seeks to go into the question
OF a further investigation of the op-
Grating returns Of the Memphis Street
Railway. instead of fixing the rate ba-
sis at this sitting, the hearing on the
proposition of a return to five-cent
street car fare for Memphis will be
concluded this afternoon.
Contrary to expectations, j. II. Per-
kins, expert for the railway company,
completed his testimony Thursday after
noon and the city placed Ross w.
Harris on the stand T. II. Tutwiler
also testified and Albert S. Richey will
give testimony Friday afternoon. Mr.
Harris was on the stand again Friday
morning
So far the city Of Memphis has made
out a strong case with Walter p Arm
strong, city attorney, leading In the
fight before the commission for reduced
car fare. In the testimony of Mr.. Per-
kins the railway company endeavored
to prove that the real replacement value
of the company was far In excess of
$1S, 000,0 900. Testimony in general as
to the amount of superseded property
was given by Mr.. Tutwiler. A great
amount of this was shown to be old
tracks of old companies which were
torn up and done away with when these
companies merged with the present rail-
way. The company asked to have these
included, as well as the abandoned
Jackson Mound line, The company is
insisting that the cost of development
should also be included in the appraisal
value, while the city is Insisting that
since the public cannot reclaim any part
of the dividends of the company here
tofore paid out, the railway can not
therefore, claim any Of its losses.
The hearing developed the fact shown
in the appraisers report that Mr., Har-
ris arrived at his estimate of $7,900,O00
