Urges Necessity of New
Jail and Courthouse
in Pontotoc

ADA, Sept. 15.---W. Il. Matthews
state commissioner of charities and
corrections, made an official visit
TO the city this week and while
here inspected the county court
house and iail. He branded the
county Jail as a positive disgrace
TO citizens of such a wealthy COM
munity" and declared that the only
remedy for the existing circum-
stances would be a new courthouse
and Jail.
A petition was filed by Matthews
several months ago in district court
here declaring the Jail unfit for use.
Since that time some Improvement
has been made, he said, but 1t
would be necessary to build again
to fix matters. He did not lay the
blame on the county commission
ers and authorities, saying that they
had done and were doing all pos
sible 10 make the situation as good
as It could be.
The county owns half block in
the city, which was purchased sew
eral years ago for the location Of n
tcourthouse. Several attempts to
vote bonds were defeated and at
present the county is without a
modern fail and courthouse. Mat
thews declared that he would rush
his petition and make II necessary

house, II possible.
