MhTAWAN JAIL
To Be IMPROVED
Department of Institutions
Orders That Changes be
Made Council Meets

MATAWAN, Nov. 16:-This Dor
ough must make some arrange
ments to improve the Jail facilities,
according to a letter received by the
borough council at it's meeting on
Tuesday night from the Department
of Institutions and Agencies, on the
report of Joseph NJ. Thompson, the
inspector who recently looked over
the local Jail house. According to
the communication Inspector
Thompson found the cells unclean,
beds and bed covering unclean. and
a general insanitary condition about
the jail.
Fault was also found with the
building in which the cells are kept.
This is a small frame house, which
the communication says is a great
danger in case of fire. The two steel
cells are housed in this building and
some people of the borough have
often pointed out that if the build
ing should catch on fire, it would
roast the prisoners before they could
be released from the cells.
The council decided to remedy the
conditions as soon as possible.
The Monmouth Lighting Compan,
requested that the council pay the
light bills monthly instead of hold
ing them to offset the taxes as here
tofore, the company alleging that all
the taxes had been paid. The COM
munication was referred to the bor-
ough attorney.
Mr.. Lane of Valley Drive was
present and requested that a light be
placed in the lower end of Valley
Drive. The request will be compiled
with.
Complaints were received from the
employees of the Jersey Central
Traction Company operating in Mat
avian, of the automobiles parking on
the trolley tracks in the vicinity OF
the station SO that the trolley can
now run up to the end of the track.
The matter was taken under ~onsid-
Grafton, but it seemed that little
could be done in view of the fact
that Matawan has no regularly as
signed traffic officer.
In order to pay a number of bills,
some money in accounts which had
not been used was transferred D,
resolution to other accounts which
had used up their appropriation.
John p. Lloyd objected to the way
a water tap had been put in at ~,
property in Franklin street and re-
fused to pay the bill. The matter
was placed in the hands of the water
committee for settlement.
A bill for $500 for the rent of the
truck house vas submitted by the
Firemen's Relief Association. The
bill was for three years rent. After
investigation by the collector the bill
was ordered paid.
