Texas City of Five Thousand People
Holds Record Among Places Of Size
San Benito, Tex. September A.
This little town, in the border coun-
try with a population just over 5000,
is believed here to be distinct among
places of its size in the country in
having been without a jail. A city
Jail, the first structure Of the kind
in local history, is to be erected soon.
Despite its proximity to the Mex
lean border and alleged IawlessneSs
prevailing in this section, San Benito,
its officials declare, has had slight
need for a Jail. Practically all ar
rests made are for violations of traf-
fic ordinances. On Halloween eve
a box car on a local siding served
as lookup for half score mis-
chievous youths who attempted to
create a disturbance in the business
section. The building of the jail Is
occasioned in line with street paw
ing, city water SYSTEM and other
improvements being undertaken, Of
