WILL MAINTAIN
TOWNSHIP BODY
SOuth Rock Islanders Return Cam
paign Fund Money In
Amount of $500.

Permanent organization of the
South Rock Island Township I'm
provement association will be eff
fected at a meeting of the members
soon, it was decided at a session of
the informal association last eve
ming About twenty attended the
meeting in the Cleland Presbyte-
rian church.
The members voiced the idea last
night that in the case OF future diff
ficuIties similar to the proposed in
corporation of the township into
that of Rock Island, an organiza-
ton alive and ready to function
could get into action quickly. To
provide for such contingencies, the
members plan to have their organ
izatiou permanent and ready to be
modified when the occasion arises.
Pride over the fact that the as
ISOLATION has thus far successfully
combatted all efforts to merge
South Rock Island township into
Rock Island township, was freely
expressed in the meeting. 1t is
chiefly the recurrence of this fight
for which the South Rock Island
erS are to retain an organization.
Campaign fund subscriptions 10
the amount of $500, part in cash
and the rest pledged, were ordered
returned to supporters of the move
ment in last nights meeting.
Enough money was realized out
of the 81 membership fees to pay
all expenses. so that the pledges
and subscriptions need not be used.

JURY SCORES
JAIL AND ITS
QUARTERS, TOO
Recommendations for Cleanup
Campaign in Report Submitted
to Court.

The May grand jury has severely
condemned the county jail as
place unfit for housing the most
hardened criminal, but not more so
than its arraignment of the quar-
tiers in the courthouse in which the
grand jurors meet.
In the report submitted to Judge
W. T. Church, the court is reminded
that there is little to distinguish
the atmosphere of the grand jury
room from that of the Jail. This is
charged to low ceiling, poor lights
and lack of ventilation. The room
adjoining which is used as a wait
ing room for witnesses, is not a
room that would impress a witness
with the power and dignity of a
county such as ours" reads the re-
port. "Old chairs piled up in a cor
ner, gunny sacks filled with waste
paper, empty cartons, garbage cans
with refuse in them, tin cans. empty
barrels, and last but not least a
half barrel of soft soap that throws
off an effluvia reminds witness
that possibly he is an inmate of
the Rock Island county jail.
Recommendation that the board
of supervisors appeal to the voters
of the county to furnish funds to
complete the rev Jail and remove
that blot and disgrace from the
landscape, now known as the Rock
Island county JAIL" is carried in the
report which reads as follows:
The old building used as a Jail
is in a deplorable condition and not
fit for housing the most hardened
criminal The ventilating and san
itaTy conditions are such as would
not be tolerated one instant by the
authorities if operated as private
institution. The cells are so sit
Uated that it is almost impossible
for the light of day to enter. I'm
pure air and suffocating heat is the
lot of the poor unfortunates who
are compelled to spend the night
in these cells, especially during the
summer months.
Segregate Criminals.
Cleanliness is sought but not at
tanned to that degree that could be
obtained in a newer, lighter. more
sanitary and better ventilated
building. In fact, the old Jail
building has seen its day. The ex-
terror is sadly in need of repairs
and the interior is such that it new
er can be made into modern up
to-date place of confinement
arrangements should be made to
segregate the prisoners. keeping the
hardened criminal from associat-
ing with those new in the ways of
the criminal world.
The women's department seems
somewhat better than that occu-
pied by the men, but even this can
not be commended.
The juvenile department exists
in name only. 1t is unsafe for oc-
cupancy.
The kitchen appears clean and
the food served the prisoners seems
wholesome and in ample quantity"
